Panasonic CGA-S007e Compatible Battery For Panasonic Lumix TZ1, TZ2, TZ3, TZ4, TZ5- Rechargeable

I have had two of these only for four weeks so I cannot vouch for their durability, but so far they have been OK. They hold their charge when not in use and perform as well as the much more expensive originals. At just over £3 each they are a great bargain.

How used the battery for only one cycle,so far no problems good service use.Well worth the money spent

I bought this additional battery for my LUMIX TZ3. Although it is an older camera I still use it a lot as I have a dive housing for it and it has a good underwater mode which gives good colour tones. I needed some additional batteries as the original ones were no longer holding their charge. These replacements work brilliantly and hold their charge well. I would recommend if you are looking to update your battery.

I am using these batteries in my backup camera, the Panasonic Lumix TZ5 , a model particularly heavy on batteries. Because of this I always keep three batteries on the go, one in the camera, a spare in the bag and one on charge or in the bag when charged. They have never caused a camera problem and provide a good working life. So, do they last as long as the originals? Don't know, I doubt it but they certainly last long enough for me and a big plus is that to set up this scheme with these batteries costs less than £10 against around £75 for originals. Suits me just fine!

When you juggle this battery with a real panasonic one behined your back and tap them with your nail, you can tell the real one.The compatible one sounds hollow.You get what you pay for I suppose.

This battery was a dud. It would not hold any useable charge even after repeated charging cycles using the correct (Panasonic) charger. Almost funny how the battery charge on-screen indicator always went immediately to red before the camera switched itself off after only 2 seconds. Nothing wrong with the camera or the charger by the way - both working as normal with the tired but still useable Panasonic oem battery I was, and still am, looking to replace. Come on Visibee or UK Electronics or whatever you're called, you should operate better quality control than this! At least the Amazon returns system worked well enough.

it came quickly and was a good price.Unfortunately as soon as I got to my holiday destination,the camera went faulty,so It hasn't been used since.(not the fault of the battery). I would still recommend buying this battery.

What can one say about a battery? It works. Being so cheap, I was dubious whether it would maintain its charge, but a month after the first (and so far only) charging I've taken a few dozen photos and still have two bars charge indicated in the camera, so it seems fine. It's too early to say anything about its durability, but so far its as good as the original I had with my camera. I'm very pleased with it.
