5.0 out of 5 stars Very practical kit, and it works fine, February 19, 2008

This review is from: PRO SERIES Equivalent PANASONIC CGR-S006 / CGR-S006A / 1B Charger & Battery Combo for OEM DE-993 / Lumix DMC-L10K / DMC-FZ35K / DMC-FZ18 / FZ50S & Many More. (Electronics)

I wanted a spare charger for my CGR-S006 batteries (for the Panasonic FZ18) but soon found out that Panasonic, for some obscure reason, doesn't sell it. This Pro Power model seemed to be the only option. Despite there being no posted reviews for it, I decided to take the risk. No regrets. The charger works just as well as the original Panasonic unit. Differently from the Panasonic, the Pro Power doesn't plug directly into the wall, but has a cable. There's a reason for this: it comes with another cable attachment to hook the charger up to the car lighter or DC 9V plug, so batteries can be charged in transit. This makes the Pro Power very versatile and practical. I haven't tried the CGR-S006-equivalent battery that's included in the kit, but this, for me, is just an extra -- as is the little tripod. I bought this for the charger, and am happy with it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't Get Much Better..., July 25, 2008

Works Great! Battery is as good or better than original that came with my Lumix FZ-18. The charger is especially handy as I can also use it in my vehicle's powerport or lighter. The mini-tripod was an added bonus!

5.0 out of 5 stars Once again, pleased with Accessory Genie and the AC/DC Charger, December 4, 2008

I have bought from Accessory Genie before with good results, so tried them again with this product. As before, product was received promptly and as ordered. I have yet to have a problem with Accessory Genie, so cannot comment on how well they resolve issues if encountered. Price was competitive. As mentioned in other reviews, the versatility of a charger (in this case, for my new and fabulous Panasonic Lumix dmc-fz28(recommended over the Canon SX10!)) that can be used at home and in the car is wonderful, an option not available from Panasonic. Don't get caught on the road with discharged batteries and no AC socket (or 2 hours time) available to recharge. Charge on the highway with this product. And, always keep a second, fully charged, battery on hand for those field trips where there's no AC socket...or car around!
