One of two defective, promptly replaced. Works great. Recommended!
I ordered two of these batteries.  The price was great.  Unfortunately, when I received them, one battery would not hold the initial charge. The other battery has performed well. The battery charger for my camera emits a green light when the battery is being charged, which does not go out until the battery is fully charged; however, the light in the defective battery went out right away.  Thinking the electrical outlet might be the problem, I switched outlets; same result.<br /><br />When I e-mailed Amazon with my concerns, I got an almost immediate message from the vendor telling me they were sorry for the inconvenience and that a replacement for the defective battery would be mailed the next business day.  It arrived soon after and it works great.  Both batteries are functionally the same as the OEM batteries, though their appearance is a little different.<br /><br />Some other reviews have commented about the battery fitting a little more snugly inside the camera than the OEM, but I didn't notice any difference between these batteries and the original Panasonic battery.<br /><br />The important question is:  would I order these again, considering the initial problem I had in receiving one defective battery?  Absolutely! The fact that the replacement was sent out promptly, and it works perfectly, has earned my respect and my future business.
