Panasonic DMW-BLG10 Lithium-Ion Battery Pack (Black)

They work as they should for the Panasonic camera I have. I am very pleased with how they worked during the eclipse and thereafter. I prefer brand name over generic (although generic is the only option for older cameras) because they hold a charge longer and the camera works faster in my experience. I have more confidence in a brand name battery when it comes to a camera, that is my personal preference.

In my experience the generic brands were much shorter lived than the Panasonic brand. This battery was also far less expensive than buying a Leica branded battery!

I tried to save money buying no name batteries for my Panasonic Lumix camera. The batteries were either too thick for the battery compartment making it VERY difficult to extract or they didn’t hold a charge well. I finally bought the OEM battery and am VERY happy I did. In fact, I ended up buying two. The charge lasts long and it’s the proper fit for the battery compartment.

Great quality battery! Genuine Panasonic! Holds charge longer and original Quality!

Received an authentic Panasonic product in packaging, holds a charge, appears new ... used to power a Lumix DC-ZS70 camera w 700mm zoom and 20.1mp sensor. Should be good for about 360+ regular pix per charge, expect less if you use features a lot, or lots of on-and-off. In other words, if you buy this or a comparable camera, you need a back-up battery. The battery takes quite a while to charge so you need a back-up battery anyway. Costs more than but is highly preferred over aftermarket brands because it is compatible with Panasonic charger and accessories, and any problems with it will not void your camera warranty. Spend the money and you get reliable performance and peace of mind. - Daniel O'Donnell in Portland Oregon

I went through a series of aftermarket batteries for my cameras. Just buy original batteries, others may work well when you first get them but they will soon disappoint you. I produce videos for a living. When using a gimbal you have to balance the camera on the gimbal. When switching batteries from Panasonic to an aftermarket battery I was having to re-balance the gimbal because the aftermarket batteries are lighter than the original. What a pain in the @- -! Additionally the aftermarket batteries quickly fade to become nearly useless. I realize the original batteries are more money but completely worth it!!!

Even though it is a bit expensive, I feel it is worth buying the OEM battery. I have tried others and have not had as good luck.

ideal for a backup battery, but sometimes the camera does not work like it used to with the original battery.
