Product was as advertised and genuine Panasonic; it fully met my expectations and performs well.

This is the genuine Panasonic battery, correctly described in Technical Details as 'Panasonic branded retail packaging'. Actually the shipped package and contents weighed only 0.2 pounds.

Take my advice and skip buying a generic battery. (Prior to this purchase, I bought a generic replacement battery for my Lumix - the battery initially worked fine and then started overcharging).

There a few buying choices for this battery. The best price is $27 with Free Shipping by one of the sellers.

C'mon Amazon.com you can do better than $44 with 'Free Super Saver Shipping'- that price is way out of the ballpark!

This has great battery life, and great to have when the stock one runs out.

My son plays competitive golf, so we can be on the golf course for 4-6 hours. I follow and take pictures and mini movie clips with my Panasonic FZ-20. One battery will last me at least that long and sometimes longer as I upload the card to my computer afterwards. This includes turning the camera on and off during the round. But I also will forget to turn the camera off as we walk down the fairways, and with the camera's power save mode, it is never a problem. I always carry an extra battery in my back pocket, but rarely have to switch it out. I have 3 batteries that I rotate in use. I have just found that Panasonic is a superior product for my needs.

This is a great price on a great battery. This is the OEM Battery.

It's a standard charger. Panasonic typically has good products but it broke after a month. But the customer service was excellent and they shipped me a new one right away no questions asked. That will always keep me coming back to buy from the same retailer again.
