Panasonic CGA-S005A/1B Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Battery for Panasonic

Our six year old camera was running out of steam and needed the battery replaced. We were a bit skeptical about finding a battery that would work in our old camera but we found the exact one on Amazon! This battery will last for years, it was used in our camera for commercial use. We had to post photos of our product on line so we needed a long life battery for our camera. Buy it....you won't be disappointed.

I bought this battery to back up the original one that came with LX3.I don't know if it is the camera or the battery but if you are planning for the whole day shoot on your vacation, you need to have two batteries!! and they are not cheap either.

I bought this Panasonic battery so I would have a backup. It is really quick charging and seems to last quick a long time... I don't use flash though as that would certainly run it down fast. One thing I do note is that the camera works a heck of a lot better with a battery. Imagine that! :-)

The item they are currently shipping is NOT the 1150mAh described (and pictured) here -- it is only 1090sMh which will NOT work in the Panasonic Lumix FX01 and similar batteries -- it doesn't have enough power and the camera will have trouble focusing, taking movies, and taking pictures in low-light conditions.It will fit in the compartment but it will not function. The cameras listed in the title are NOT listed on the back of the package.I returned the first one thinking they had sent me the wrong item but when the replacement was identical, I realized they no longer have the one described here.If you're camera is sluggish using this battery -- now you know why.

I received this battery from Triplenet pricing and it was obvious that the original clear plastic package had been opened. It was resealed with some scotch tape. So I looked closely at the battery and I could see wear marks from the battery having been slid into and out of a camera. It was an old used battery!When I complained Triplenet immediately sent me a free shipping label, and then refunded my money upon return of the item. That was good. However I was still disappointed not to get the new battery! And very annoyed that, if I had not been so vigilant, I would have been cheated.Triplenet assured me that they never send out used product as new. Although they obviously did in this case. They said it was drop shipped from a supplier and they would try to find out how this error occurred and correct the problem. Irrespective of how the error occurred I almost got an old battery masquerading as new. So you may wish to look carefully at any product you get from Triplenet.I give them two stars 'cos they did refund my money efficiently.

Really burned out in 3 months. Not happy about the limited life, thought that these batteries would last as long as the original and that was not the case.

I love my Panisonic Lumix camara but when the battery went dead in the middle of taking pictures or video I had to what for it to recharge in order to use my camara again. The sulution get a second battery for it then when the battery went dead all I had to due is swap it out, It worked purfectly my camara is a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX150 this battery is exactly the same as the one it came with. Make sure your this battery is compatible with your model before buying.

OEM replacement battery. I have found that the OEM battery is much better than the knockoffs available on teh market. You pay more but they perform better and don't swell and get stuck in the camera when they fail. In fact, I have not had a OEM battery fail yet, only the knockoffs!
