pgk Posted January 4, 2016 Share #1 Posted January 4, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) Looks like I'm going to sell off my M8.2. To do so I will need to sort out battery and charger (I've been using my M9 charger since the original died). There are plenty of UK options of chargers and batteries on ebay new though obviously not made by Leica. As I don't want to spend £200+ on a new charger and battery has anyone got any experience of the UK sourced alternatives? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hepcat Posted January 4, 2016 Share #2 Posted January 4, 2016 I've used PowerSmart aftermarket, brand-specific chargers with other camera brands' batteries with success... Olympus and Panasonic to be specific. They ought to work with the Leica batteries just fine. http://www.amazon.co.uk/PowerSmart%C2%AE-Battery-Charger-Compatible-Numbers/dp/B00JWLKECC/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1451935727&sr=8-3&keywords=leica+m9+battery+charger Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgk Posted January 4, 2016 Author Share #3 Posted January 4, 2016 Mamy thanks, but a member here very kindly offered me an original charger. This is the second time this week that I have been faced with member's help. The first was when I met up with and was given some equipment (I will be making a charitable donation for it) and now this. The LUF can be a most helpful and pleasant community .

arno_nyhm Posted January 12, 2016 Share #4 Posted January 12, 2016 keep your fingers off the aftermarket batteries. i got two of them and experienced all kinds of funny difficulties when using them. problems varied from problems with storage of files to suden freezing of the camera. with the original batteries i never had any of these problems. so i go for the original ones.
