Product Description

This is a 1500mAh high capacity replacement battery. The higher the mAh rating, the more power a battery can store and the longer it will last per charge. It contains premium Japanese grade A battery cells and is guaranteed to outperform the original battery. It is CE certified and built to meet or exceed the OEM specification. It is guaranteed to safely power all cameras that use the Panasonic CGA-S005 or Fuji NP-70 batteries. The lithium ion chemistry of this battery makes it 100% memory free. Unlike Nickel-Cadmium (Ni-Cad) batteries, lithium ion batteries don't have a "memory effect" which shortens their capacity. They can be partially charged and/or discharged without worry of shortened battery life. Are you concerned about protecting the environment? Do you worry about exposing your family to electronics containing hazardous heavy metals (such as lead or mercury)? You can rest easy knowing this battery is manufactured in accordance with the strict RoHS standards, which call for the Restriction of Hazardous Substances in electrical and electronic equipment. Unlike most aftermarket power supplies, our batteries have undergone rigorous cell cycle testing before leaving our factory. If a battery does not pass our benchmark testing for superior performance, it will be eliminated from the production line. This guarantees the best possible quality in all our batteries and virtually eliminates the chance of a product being shipped dead on arrival. Includes a 3-year warranty. Because we use premium Japanese cells and the highest quality components, we are confident that the battery will last the duration of the warranty and beyond. However, in the rare case where you experience a problem with the battery within the warranty period, it will be replaced promptly. Specs: 3.7V, 1500mAh. Compatibility: FujiFilm FinePix F20 Zoom, F40fd; Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX01 / FX07 / FX10 / FX100 / FX12 / FX150 / FX3 / FX50 / FX8 / FX9 / LX1 / LX2 / LX3.

5.0 out of 5 stars Longer lasting than original OEM battery? Seems to be., March 18, 2009

This review is from: Kinamax BTR-CGAS005-J 1500mAh CGA-S005/NP-70 Replacement Battery for Panasonic and FujiFilm - Premium Japanese Cells (Electronics)

I picked up a Panasonic Lumix LX-3 right before a vacation, and unsure of the kind of battery life I'd get, I wanted to buy some extra batteries. I could have gone with some $3 ones, but I decided on this brand due to it specifying the mah (higher than the original batteries) and seeming to still be a good deal. I used them many times over the week with no problems, and they performed as well if not better than the original battery.

3.0 out of 5 stars Does not work with Lumx DMC-LX5, June 25, 2011

This review is from: Kinamax BTR-CGAS005-J 1500mAh CGA-S005/NP-70 Replacement Battery for Panasonic and FujiFilm - Premium Japanese Cells (Electronics)

I bought this item as a backup battery for the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5 that I had recently purchased. Unfortunately, this battery is not compatible with LX5.

This battery fits neither in the LX5 camera slot nor in the battery charger. This battery has 3 connector strips whereas the LX5 original battery has 4 narrower connector strips.

This is more of an FYI than a review since I haven't had any chance to try out this battery. Amazon service is great and they gladly accepted the return.
