There are any number of them available on eBay. I bought one for less than $20 including shipping and it's not only much smaller than the OEM charger, but it came with a 12V adapter so I can also charge batteries in the car.

audidudi Posted May 14, 2007 Share #4 Â Posted May 14, 2007 i saw them- are they reliable? No problems so far with mine and I use it for both my LC1 and L1, at home and while traveling. Frankly, even if it doesn't last forever, so long as it doesn't short internally and start a fire, my expectations are fairly low given what I paid for it...

spylaw4 Posted May 14, 2007 Share #5 Â Posted May 14, 2007 A compact charger would be very handy. However, can you give more details please as I can't seem to locate one on that auction site? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
audidudi Posted May 14, 2007 Share #6 Â Posted May 14, 2007 Search for "DMW-BL14 charger" and (at least here in the US) several should turn up. Although I didn't see the exact version that I have, it appears prices have dropped as there are several available for around $10, including shipping...

dugby Posted May 14, 2007 Share #10 Â Posted May 14, 2007 The D1/LC5 charger is a smaller "plug-into-the-camera charger" which also works on a D2. Charges the battery whilst the batterry is still in the camera. Â But whilst travelling I still prefer the external charger, so that I can have at least one battery charging whilst I am away from my hotels/apartments. Â On my last family holiday, I was shocked to find that we still had to bring 11x chargers, even after trying to share chargers for common devices. Â I have always carried a light-weight power board for multiple chargers, and this gets plugged into the international converter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
