I'm pleased with my purchase of two of these batteries. The lithium-ion battery that shipped with the Panasonic DMC-FZ7 camera I'm using works very well and has given me no problems, but in the event that I'm taking pictures and need battery power, and the battery goes dead, I have to wait up to 2 hours to charge it.

Digital cameras that are powered by AA batteries have the advantage that they are readily available worldwide, relatively cheaply. I knew this when I bought the camera, and since it will be the exception, rather than the rule, for me to be far away where I won't be able to charge batteries, etc., I bought this camera knowing that using a lith-ion battery like this will give more consistent and longer lasting power than AA batteries.

That said, I bought two of these batteries for a total cost of $32.00 or so, including shipping. The batteries are rated to last about 90% of the length of the real Panasonic ones (which retail in the $40-$60/each range, depending on where you shop), but I have yet to notice and difference in performance. Both will take about 450 pictures (mostly without flash) and both charge at the same rate.

Other than being ridiculously cheaper than the name-brand batteries for this camera, I can't tell any difference between these batteries and the ones you'd buy from Panasonic.

Works well with Panasonic DMC-FZ7. Did not notice any difference in battery life compared to shipped mfg battery.

I've owned Lenmar batteries for several cameras, including a Canon SD-110, a Canon SD-400, a Casio EX-S600, and most recently a Panasonic FZ8-K. All of the Lenmar batteries have performed well. I have not performed any controlled tests, but I've used them a lot. As far as I can tell they are equal to the OEM batteries in capacity and service life. Because they are usually priced at something under half of the OEM battery price, they are clearly an excellent value.

This battery charges and holds it's charge just as well as my original Panasonic (had this one 4 months now). I would never spend four times as much for a brand name, it makes no sense when you have these available with Amazon's free shipping. I definitely recommend these to anyone. I also had bought generic brand batteries for my Canon Camcorder and they work like a dream (one year later)

I bought two of these batteries when I first bought my camera, and they performed well, giving excellent battery life. I've been so happy with the battery life of the first two batteries that I bought another battery for the really long shooting days.

Does exactly what it is supposed to do for a whole lot cheaper. I can see no differnece in longevity vs. the Panasonic brand that came with my FZ-50 camera.

I can't see any difference between the original one and this battery. Why paying 3 times more just for the name "Panasonic" or "Leica" on it?

after reading the reviews on this battery I did buy one, and it works great just as everyone said, why pay more?? If you need one get this battery!!

I've bought several of these batteries as I have owned two panasonic cameras that use them. My problem is I keep losing them, but then that is my fault. These batteries perform as well as the originals at a fraction of the cost. There's no need to buy Panasonic's original when these are available at such a good price.

Works fine but doesn't keept it's charge like the original panasonic battery that came with the camera
