Panasonic DMW-BCE10 Replacement Li-ion Battery for Panasonic Lumix Digital Camera - Retail Packaging

I Picked this up in 2008 as an extra battery for my power hungry Lumix camera. It lasted through about 3 years of getting a full charge and was able to nurse another year out of it where I got about 50% of its original use per charge and finally last October it took its final breath and was gone. This battery is the real deal OEM and does exactly what it is suppose to.

There is not a lot to say about a battery. It works as expected, meets all the specifications that were provided. The main reason I wrote this review is to respond to other reviews that were listed when I purchased the product indicating that this product misrepresented itself. It was for the camera that is said it was for and I expect that those who had a problem did not review the specs of their camera closely. Pop it in charge and it performs like the original

THIS IS THE WRONG BATTERY FOR THE LUMIX DCE ZS1, which I just bought on Amazon. It should NOT be offered by Amazon as it does not fit the camera or the charger. i do not know why Amazon has mislead it's customers who trust Amazon for truthful and good customer service. Perhaps it is just an unintentional mistake. I bought 2 of these unusable batteries. Amazon, please remove these from the website for this item before other trusting customers are mislead into purchasing them. I understand that the sub contractor who sells the batteries charges S&H to return them. Amazon does not. I wonder if Amazon has any suggestions to remedy this unfortunate situation.

Too costly, but as requested.

These DMW-BCE10 batteries are for Panasonic Lumix® Digital Cameras but be careful when you order them. They have 2-3 Letters after the BCE10 and that is very confusing since they all look alike!I had to order 3 times to get the right one. They are all just a little different and rechargers won't work if the size is not correct. It's not like buying a BCE09 or BCE07, or even a AA verses AAA. There are minute differences in dimensional sizes.CAUTION: Be sure you have the correct battery; check the letters after BCE10, they're the key to buying the right size.

This is a replacement for the factory battery that comes with a panasonic FX35. It must also be compatible with other models (check on the amazon or panasonic website). I use it as an extra battery - it's just the same as the one that comes with the camera and it's a cheap accessory for the extra convenience. What else to say about a simple battery? Well... it's cheap - so go for the genuine panasonic instead of messing around with a generic battery that might work as well if lucky... or just be really bad.

It's a battery!!! But it's a really good, long-lasting one! Now over 5 yrs old, and still charges and works great...OEM type battery. Use in our "go-to" point-and-shoot camera which has seen heavy use all around the world. No different from the original camera battery.

I ordered this battery the day I ordered my Lumix DMC-ZS3 because it came up on Amazon's site as the battery for that camera. It is not. So, if you have a DMC-ZS3, don't order this!I do agree to always buy the manufacturers battery. For my last camera, I tried one of the knock-offs, and everytime I used that battery my camera would heat up when I took videos. Stay safe, and use the manufacturers!
