@barrycowler there's no way to charge the battery whilst still in your EOS 60D. However, you can run the camera from the mains via a separate AC adapter kit. The 60D takes the ACK-E6. It's useful having a mains charger like this for certain types of photography work – like macro and time-lapse – or if you're using Live View extensively.
