Panasonic DMW-BLC12 Lithium-Ion Battery for Panasonic Lumix®

I bought two as additional backups for the eclipse (April 8). The original batteries (2014 vintage) charged up OK, but it's too important an event to rely on very old batteries! These work great, and are a welcome addition to my battery needs.

Factory battery pack for the Panasonic FZ300 camera. I haven't tested the runtime in terms of number of photos or HD video length, but it seems to do the job well enough that I haven't noticed any issues with short battery runtime. I also haven't tested for capacity retention vs number of cycles, but again the battery seems to hold plenty of charge so far after maybe 20 cycles. Expensive though.

After we received the battery the camera said the battery was not compatible, but after minimal research and finding the firmware update with easy directions the batteries worked perfectly. The old batteries still work with new firmware. The batteries other then the firmware addition are the same and have the same outstanding battery life. Same great product with a little added time for doing the firmware. It's not plug and play but If you can use the Lumix camera then you are capable of doing the firmware.

I have discovered that there are a lot of generic versions of this on Amazon. They have strange multi-character names that appear to have been randomly generated. If a given random name gets too many bad reviews or if FakeSpot determines that too many reviews are computer generated they just put the same product online with a different random name. I bought this as a spare and it worked fabulously on my recent trip.A few notes on Lithium batteries - When storing them, they like to be at 50% capacity. They do not like to be hot and they will not charge at low temperatures. They will also have a lower capacity if they are very cold. In the normal conditions that I used them (25-> 40C) they worked fabulously. Lumix makes a quality product.

Really cant tell the difference between this one and the one that came with the camera

Works just like the original but the cost is too high.

For me, after market batteries for my cameras just doesn't make sense as I have far to much invested. The extended battery for my Panasonic pro video cam AG-HCM40 retails for a whopping $250 I was lucky to find it on Amazon for $110.I recently purchased the Panny FZ200 it's a marvelous camera but the battery life is short especially if it's a long shoot - so this was a no brainer. Most of us have either experienced or heard of after market batteries used in high end equipment at best not performing up to par and at worst, leaking or by other malfunctions ruining valuable equipment.It's not the worth the risk.This battery is the genuine article by the OEM, it charged up in no time and has saved me a great deal of time as I don't have to swap cameras when I'm shooting or wait for a semi-charge. Having a fully charged back up is essential and the price for this battery is outstanding. Add Free second day delivery for Prime Members and this makes the deal just that much sweeter.Highly Recommended.

Vale unos dólares mas que cualquier otra opción que encuentras, pero no son originales y en lo particular prefiero pagar un poco más y adquirir un artículo original con la seguridad certeza que no expondrás tu equipo a cualquier variación en voltaje y tiempo de duración de la misma. Viene en el empaque original con su respectivo manual. No te arrepentirás si la compras.👍
