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.

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!

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!

Great pack of battery and charger accessories for my FZ-35 camera. used the battery and it seems fine so far. the charger works great too. Havent used the usb option yet.

Great price for a great combo. The battery works just as well as the original battery. It's so nice to have a spare for those long weekends of picture taking. The charger works great and it's nice to have the cigarette lighter option for my car since I do a lot of camping, and don't always have electricity.

Not much to say, been happy with it since I bought it, Would buy again.

The product work well and was in great shape when I got it the only bad thing about it was it does not hold the battery very good

The battery dosen't fit in camera properly..camera switches off when flash opens....the case of the battery is the wrong size...and has two less gold leads than the the Panasonic battery. This is a complete waste of money. It works until you move your camera..even the slightest bump disconnects the battery, which can mess up the LCD and the internal memory. How much would you pay for something that could destroy your camera? Be warned.
