Wasabi Power Battery (2-Pack) and Dual USB Charger for Panasonic DMW-BLF19 and Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH3, DMC-GH4, DC-GH5, DC-GH5S, DC-G9

Excellent backup replacements for the G9. I've had no issues with charging or battery life during use.

It works, very reasonably priced.

These batteries fit and work perfectly just as the OEM batteries for a much better price. The jury is still out on the longevity of these batteries because I just purchased them, and my original batteries that I currently have and are still using are 5 years old.

Running low on batteries is never something you want to run into, and because of this, we typically overload our stock with batteries to grab and go from when we send our kits mobile. We use a number of GH5 kits for shooting video with and so we have a number of batteries lying around now, including a handful of these Wasabi. We find that the price for these batteries is quite the steal compared to what the Panasonic batteries go for. However, despite the battery itself claiming to be a higher mAh (2000mAh ) than the Panasonic batteries (1860mAh), we find that the units we have tested out thus far do not live up to the claim as they die faster than the original Panasonic option. Despite this, it is useful to be able to buy a handful of them at a cheaper price than a single Panasonic original, so they still have a benefit their being available within our stock as it helps to refocus budgets to other items as well. However, if these were able to stand toe to toe with the original batteries, these would be a perfect 5/5 solution that would be selling off the shelves, hands down.

Great batteries, brings me up to 3 total including my single OEM battery. Havent been daring enough to throw my OEM on their dual charger... but maybe I should. I have used these for all-day hybrid work on my G9, each battery seems to last about half the day depending on how demanding I am. They have been reliable. I have used them in subfreezing temps for astrophotography a few times for time-lapse or the "green" 2023 comet. Compared to OEM, I can't tell a battery life difference. Keep in mind I came into my G9 and OEM battery used... I can't compare to a new OEM battery. I however compare price - 2 OEMs (no dual charger) would cost 4x what this does. If the OEMs are better, it is marginally, not "4x". It really is a no-brainer.

For the price you can’t beat these. I think I’ve got 4 sets now. Use for gh5II

My personal experience with these batteries has been great. The charger is a bit lacking, and the batteries don't seat very well in the charger but it works. I just had my first battery die and I bought these Aug. Of 2022. Testing with a multimeter indicated the second one is on its way out. Overall, I would recommend them highly. I don't usually like giving something 5 stars for doing what it says it will; but these days, a 5 star indicates it's MOST LIKELY not going to just blow up in your face. Good job not blowing up my face or house :)

One of the batteries won't charge, the charger doesn't recognize it at all. The LED on the charger won't light regardless of which bay it's in. The other battery will light the LED in both bays. I contacted Amazon and they're sending me a new one. Nothing else to report, have not used the good battery yet.

Aunque no he tenido oportunidad de usarlas mucho, son de muy buen precio y de la mejor calidad. El proveedor está al pendiente y eso se valora.

I am thankful that I listened to Tom Antos. These battery's are nice. I did a full check with my meter and they last as long as the Panasonic battery I have.

I bought the Wasabi charger which came with two batteries. After seeing good reviews I thought I would try it for myself for my Gh5. One of the batteries does not hold a charge very well. It went from fully charged and after checking it overnight with the camera off, it was at three bars. Again, no use at all. Secondly, and this is the worst part...the charger seems to disable any outlet it is plugged into for a while. I would check the charger and no light would be on. Other items won't work when plugged into the same outlet. It is super weird but happens after charging the batteries. I have had to change outlets three times while charging the batteries because it would just shut off and the outlet no longer works. I cannot recommend this product for the last reason above and I can say I am pretty disappointed. I will likely be submitting a return on this.
