Summary: Good

Comment: I haven't had used this too many times. I bought the battery for a trip since they don't last that long if you're taking videos or high pixel pics. Seems to last as long as the original battery. Serves its purpose and I would purchase again.

Summary: Great price for proper Panasonic battery

Comment: Got this for my sister to go with her new TZ5. There are lots of compatibles on the market, but at this price, I would rather buy the proper battery. As usual, great service from Amazon.

Summary: Panasonic Lumix battery

Comment: not much to say since this is the battery proscribed for my camera. My order was for 2 spare batteries for my vacation.

Summary: HOURS of video, hundreds of stills

Comment: I spent the extra money for this battery, instead of a $9 knock-off, because these batteries can be volatile and have been known to overheat and then even catch fire.

I figured it was a small investment to buy a genuine Lumix battery and then not have to worry about it!

The peace of mind is worth the price.

And--this battery lasts a LONG time. I needed to shoot video and shot 6GB, almost three hours, and the battery still had juice. It also held up for hundreds of high-res stills.

The battery also comes with a small plastic case to ensure that the contacts are protected.

A worthwhile investment for your TZ5 (which is a great camera!)

Summary: Panasonic OEM battery

Comment: I've had this battery for about three months; got it as a backup for our Lumix TZ5 before we went on vacation to Colorado and Utah. Read too many negative reviews of the knock off batteries, so I went OEM.

These batteries perform as advertised. During vacation, lasted about a day and a half before recharging, taking tons of photos, occasional short video, lots of zooming in and out, flash, reviewing pictures, etc. Since then, continues to work great. Long lasting charge.
