jay968 Posted November 15, 2015 Share #1 Posted November 15, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Sorry if this has been asked before but I noticed that the Q uses the BP-DC12 battery which is essentially the same battery as the Panasonic DMW-BLC12. Has anyone used the Panasonic battery or does the Q give an error message when attempting to do so? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

losta Posted November 15, 2015 Share #3 Posted November 15, 2015 I've been using 3 Lumix batteries along with one Leica battery, they perform the same. I prefer the Lumix charger as well as it has a built in plug rather than a cord which is more convenient for travel. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricky1981 Posted November 15, 2015 Share #4 Posted November 15, 2015 Using the Panasonic battery and no issues at all, it is 100% identical other than the writing on the outside. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucerne Posted November 15, 2015 Share #5 Posted November 15, 2015 I've had two non-Leica, non-manufacturer-specific batteries in use since August. The important specification is that they fit because they are physically equivalent to type BLC12 and have the correct 7.2v and a power capacity of between 1000 and 1800 mAh. No problems charging these in the Leica charger. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcg Posted November 29, 2015 Share #7 Posted November 29, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) So I have noticed a Duracell equivalent on Amazon for about £20. A highly reputable brand. I suppose that this must be a good option? Cheaper than a Pana original and much cheaper than a Leica Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
beauport Posted November 29, 2015 Share #8 Posted November 29, 2015 For those Q users within the US, the Leica Store Miami offers the Leica battery for the Q for $85, shipping included and no tax if you're not in Florida. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Pan Posted November 29, 2015 Share #9 Posted November 29, 2015 Sorry if this has been asked before but I noticed that the Q uses the BP-DC12 battery which is essentially the same battery as the Panasonic DMW-BLC12. Has anyone used the Panasonic battery or does the Q give an error message when attempting to do so? I have two BLC12, works Like the original Leica, no problems.
