When the camera showed low battery charge, we opened the compartment to change it. Battery would not come out as it usually does. I had to remove it using very fine tools so I would not break the camera. The battery was "swollen" and gone forever. Hi-Capacity is not a brand I will buy again nor would I recommend to anyone!

Ordered this battery because the site suggested it with the new camera. Wrong size battery..

The battery itself comes covered with a bar coded sticker on it. Dumb, dumb, dumb. As a result it is slightly too thick to slide easily in and out of the battery compartment of my Lumix DMC-FX9. Stuck it in and had to get a pair of tweezers with really sharp points to pull it back out. The sticker got torn, but no junk was left in the battery compartment. This left me with an option I knew would be less than desirable -- removing the sticker. Of course it left an enormous amount of glue from the backing all over the battery. Now the battery is a sticky mess. I refuse to stick it in the camera. I am going to now have to clean it up with nail polish remover or cooking oil or something before I can use it.

Stupid, stupid, stupid. The battery comes in a small plastic box. Couldn't the sticker have been placed on that?

Would not buy again.

Overall, I enjoy to buy my staff from amazon. However, I changed the payment in this item, and it create a big trouble to me. I paid 25 dollars for payment delay and received very unfriendly call from TRF.
I learn a lesson from this item.

This merchandise -- although paid for -- has never been recevied. I still need a battery and havn't known who to call to request a shipment of this product!!

Please send one asap as I will need to use the camera next week.
