Pickle Power 2Pcs DMW-BLC12 DMW-BLC12E Battery with Dual Charger for Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ2500, FZ1000 II, DMC-FZ1000, DMC-FZ300, DMC-FZ200, G85, G5, G6, G7, GX8, G85, DC-G95, DC-G90, DMC-GH2

I have bought 6 of this size battery over time and this one comes closest to the OEM supplied with the camera. At least two of my other batteries have become bulged and difficult to remove from the camera. This may be because the cases of the affected batteries are palpably thinner, or it may be because the batteries get too hot in use. Either way, despite active life being good, I replaced the bulged batteries with these. Functionally, these batteries charge quickly without becoming warm. The charge registers accurately on the charger and on the camera. Compared to the OEM, these batteries are exactly the same size, and slide in and out as easily as the original. All my replacement batteries come with a charger, so now I have several. This one is smaller than both the OEM and others provided with batteries. However it works well, and the state of charge is easier to see on this than any others I have, including the OEM. I always use the charger supplied with the batteries when possible and this one is slightly more versatile in having both a micro USB and a USB-C connector for input. If these batteries do not last as well as the OEM (about 150 discharge cycles before the capacity starts to reduce) I will come back to this review and knock a star off, but I cannot find anything to fault with this at present, hence 5 stars.

A perfect replacement for a lumix battery and much cheaper.

Works well

Getting both batteries to charge simultaneously is a bit of trial and error, I had to jiggle the batteries in situ to get them to charge, they both stopped charging after a few minutes, I then had to jiggle them yet again to start the charge, this time the charge fully completed....have been adjusting the settings of the camera for a while,the charge in the battery is holding up pretty good....so far

Great price for a useful item

Batteries would not hold more than 30% charge, no matter how they were charged. Both performed as poorly as each other

Obviously I would suspect these batteries won't last quite as long as official packs. But there's plenty of power here. The batteries were well packed as was the charger. Charger actually has charging displays so you can charge to 80% for healthy battery storage. Recommended

Good batteries, neat little charger...so far.
