The physical size of the battery is about .040 bigger than the OEM and getting into and out of the charger is sometimes challenging. Other than that, no problems at all!

The Amazon page as of 09/21/07 describes these as 1300mAh batteries. They are NOT. They are 1100mAh. The pictures seem to rotate, but one of them has the specs printed on the battery - and it says 1100mAh.

The vendor claims the mistake is Amazon's. If you visit the page several times, you will see that the vendor names change, so indeed it may be Amazon's error. I didn't catch that until after I had received the batteries I ordered.

The Panasonic original is 1000mAh, so maybe you are getting a bit more energy in this OEM replacement. Difficult to tell without running a well structured test and for an inexpensive battery, I'm not about to invest the time. They seem to work and that's all I ask.

It's a good product but my only complaint it they last less than the original, but I expect that with his price. The price/product relation it's good in comparison with the original replacement battery and it's good for a second battery.

Charged OK. Fits OK. Works OK. 1/8 the cost of the Panasonic battery for the same performance.

I am pretty sure my said 1100 mAh, which is still better than the 1000mAh that comes with the panasonic.

for the price you cannot beat it. a panasonic battery runs about $30 and this is a fraction of that...

I did not have any issue using this in my Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5S or charging it in the original panasonic charger.

This battery does not hold a charge. It has lasted about 6 months. Although it is inexpensive, it is not worth it. You are better off paying more for something you can count on. We were let down when on vacation and this battery, our backup, took very few pictures before dying on us. Extremely unreliable!

Had it about a year now and have rotated it with original several times with no problem or noted diverence between the two. Hope its still available next year when I would expect one to quit if the camera lasts that long.

I purchased 2 ea batteries for my Panasonic Lumix camera. I lost my original Panasonic battery, backup battery & charger on my last trip overseas. I shopped for OEM replacements & like everyone else, was shocked by the prices. So taking a chance, I bought another charger (this time with a DC option that the OEM charger did NOT have) and 2 of these batteries. I got a chance to use one last weekend, and after about 50 shots (many with flash), and using the zoom (a lot), I was never able to drain the battery. The next day I ran my camera in movie playback mode & reviewed pictures for another 10 minutes in an effort to get the low-battery indicator to come on, but it never did. I haven't tested the 2nd battery, but I hope it is 1/2 as good as this one.

As for my needs this is perfect. I do not notice a difference in life.. Works. Great as a back up. I always buy at least one for every new camera... Weird pricing on shipping.

So far so good. I've had it a few weeks and the battery works very well. For the price even if it lasts a year.. its a good deal !!
