Question: I just received this and it only charged for around 15 min. and my charger light went off. My Lumix took a few hours. Is this normal?
Document: I bought two of these for a trip to Disney and they charged fine. Used it for a few pictures and then next day check battery and showed two out of three bars. Took 5 more picks and went right to red and camera shut down. Both batterys did the same thing . Two bars then right to red and camera shutdown. My standard Lumix battery that came with camera lasts 3 times as long.
Ordered this battery as a backup for my Panasonic DMC-FH25A camera. It shipped quickly and arrived in good condition. Charged it with panasonic charger to full charge in 2 hours. Works great! Life of the battery is excellent thus far. No problems.
I needed a spare battery for my DCM-FH6 and this seemed to fit the bill.I read the reviews and went ahead and ordered it.It works with the Panasonic charger that came with the camera andseems to hold a charge as long as the original so no complaints.I recommend this battery as a cheap alternative to the original.
Works fine in the camera and Lumix charger, but was good only for about 60 pictures over a 90 minute period before it faded. Does not seem to have the endurance of the Panasonic original that comes with the camera. I guess you get what you pay for after all!
I now have 9 batteries for all the Panasonic lumix cameras I have. I use the cameras to record music videos, and every week the cameras are running for nearly 4 hours. 7 batteries do the job for three Panasonic lumix cameras when constantly used for 4 hours. The two extra are bonus for when I have extra gigs to record. This battery will also fit the SZ-01 that has been sold in walmart stores, and should fit the SZ-3 camera as well, among other models.
I had ordered the battery/charger combo about a year ago and it is a good value for the price.. These batteries work just fine in our Lumix DMC-SZ7 digital camera. Aside from the compact charger, each battery comes in its own plastic &#34;case&#34; which protects the contacts. I've since ordered several more batteries so now I have more than enough power for a full day's shooting without having to recharge.
Works well so far. Well tested on a 2-week trip through UK.That included reviewing and keeping or deleting photos as I went along.
This is a real bargain. However, I recommend you consider buying the two battery plus charger for only $10 more.
This battery lasts much longer than the original that came with my camera. Holds its charge a long time too. I use it in my underwater camera for snorkeling. I used the camera for a few hours. And then used it again another time weeks later (without charging between) and the battery died in the middle. The life is so good I dont charge it each time like i should, so its my fault for it dying in the middle of use.
It's good for what it's worth. Stays charged for a nice amount of time. I purchased it for a back up battery.
Answer: This battery is already mostly charged when you recieve it--so it only takes a little time to top it off at full charge.
