Customer Reviews

Incompatible with Lumix FZ18
I was ordering the new Lumix FZ18 and I weighed the advantages and risks of buying this discount battery: $7 opposed to $44; you get what you pay for; is it too good to be true; what a savings. I took a chance and was in the middle of shooting an event I had been requested to cover when the battery supplied with my FZ18 ran down. I go to switch to my bargain battery and it doesn't fit all the way into the battery slot. So much for the event photos. So much for my bargain hunting.

This is the wrong battery for the Panasonic Lumix FZ18
Amazon is bundling the wrong battery with the Panasonic Lumix FZ18.

The correct battery is the CGA-S006

Just as good, but cost lots less
This aftermarket battery CGR-S006A for my Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ50 digital camera charged completely in the standard Panasonic AC charger and fit in my camera perfectly and functions just as well as the original Panasonic battery.

The Panasonic brand batteries are tremendously expensive - this will cost you only about one third of the price. These aftermarket are the same capacity or greater than the original. They are so inexpensive, get two or three of them so you'll never have to stop shooting! Good to have for doing VGA video with your camera - my new 4GB SDHC card will shoot nearly one hour of such video. Probably the battery capacity is the limiting factor, so have some good quality (but inexpensive) reserve batteries handy.
