BM Premium Pack of 2 CGA-S006 Batteries for Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ7, DMC-FZ8, DMC-FZ18, DMC-FZ28, DMC-FZ30, DMC-FZ35, DMC-FZ38, DMC-FZ50 Digital Camera

It was a relief to find these batteries to replace my original battery for my Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ35 camera, which had apparently worn out and would no longer recharge. Panasonic strongly recommends using only their battery, but since they no longer make the battery (and couldn't even trouble to inform B & H of that fact until two months after I had placed my order for a new one), a substitute battery was my only option, aside from replacing my 3 1/2 year old camera. Big Mike sent my new batteries promptly, they were well packaged, and they charge and work very well. They are a fine replacement for the Panasonic product, and Big Mike's service is far better than Panasonic's. Panasonic actually seems to be lukewarm as to whether they are serious about being in the camera business. But Big Mike's is a winner, and I highly recommend them.

My Lumix camera is getting a little old in the world of electronics but it still fills my needs. These days, I take most pictures with my iPhone but once in a while, I take a trip to see the sights of places I've never been and unlikely to see again. At these times, I need a quality camera with good optics and the ability to zoom. The Lumix DMC FZ8 works but may need a battery change or two before the day is over. A couple of extra fully charged batteries on hand along with some extra SD memory cards allows me to shoot pictures all day and into the evening.It's nice to have batteries that work in the older camera. The price was right. Hopefully, they'll last until I replace the camera.

I would have given them 5 stars if they had sent me the batteries already charged.

The battery on my older camera stopped charging but the camera was still working well. It is a Panasonic Lumix FZ8. So I purchased these batteries hoping they would work and they do! I've charged them fully and they retain the charge. I used the camera a couple of times and the battery did not run out despite taking lots of photos. I just checked and the battery has been in the camera for weeks now and it is still fully charged. So far so good!

Always carry spares. Some of my older spares are getting weak. First time I have purchased this brand. Seem to be good batteries, but have not used them enough times to truly tell how they compare with others. Came fully charged ready to use. I expect these batteries to last a couple of years in regular rotation. All of the others I have purchased from Amazon have done that.

An excellent OEM battery replacement. I have a Panasonic DMC-FZ28 and the original battery no longerholds a charge for more than a couple of hours. This replacement battery from Big Mike saved the day.My daughter was graduated on May 6, 2018 from college, and I was able to take many graduation pictures.So far the battery is fully charged.

I dislike terms like “warmth”; and “sheerness “ in describing batteries meaningless waste of my time. These are replacement batteries and meet most, if not all, requirements for form; fit; and function.
