NewmowaDMW-BCM13 Replacement Battery (2-Pack) and Portable USB Charger kit for Panasonic DMW-BCM13, DMW-BCM13E, DMW-BCM13PP and Panasonic Lumix DMC-FT5, DMC-LZ40,DMC-TS5, DMC-TZ37, DMC-TZ40

I've only recently received this product so i can't comment of the chargers longevity or the reliability of the batteries, my main reason for buying this was i'd lost my charger for a camera where i already have 3 batteries so the extra 2 for me are more like freebies rather than something i'll be relying on.The above said, so far the haarger has worked perfectly, the batteries all slot in nice and snug into the charger and as soon as their pushed in the batteries start to charge, charging time seems to be reletively quick (although i've not times it).Overall it seems to be well made.

Camera batteries

Reasonable price for charger and batteries so far good.

...to get my older Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ60 back in action.I found the camera and the 2 original Panasonic batteries but could not find either the battery charger or the USB cable. In effect I had a camera that I wanted to use but no way of using it.This package provided just what I needed and came with 2 more spare batteries too.Put the Panasonic batteries in the charger one after the other - red light goes green when charged - and then popped one into the camera - held breath - 'eh voila' - everything working perfectly.I don't know how good the 2 compatible batteries will be but they seem to work perfectly well and as I now have 4 batteries in total I'm sure I will cope.A well packaged item that is well finished with no rough plastic casting marks or poor USB cable ends [the camera takes a non-standard mini USB] - it all just works.As you might have guessed by now I really like this item and I consider it to be very good value for money.Thank you for your time in reading my feedback/review – I hope it may have helped you in your buying decision.If this feedback/review has helped in any way please be kind enough to click on 'Helpful'.

Good value for money - comes with a charger. too early for statements on battery life and longevity. Currently works well.

After relatively few recharges the baterries stopped providing much charge life, until now they last less than ten minutes after a full charge. Buy cheap buy twice.

The batteries are slightly too small for the charger and don't make contact to charge unless a bit of card or similar is used to push them tight up against the side - only a mm or two needed but enough to prevent them charging without.

Easy to use with convenient usb charging. Batteries work just as efficiently as panasonic original.
