bags27 Posted February 23, 2018 Share #23  Posted February 23, 2018 Whatever battery you choose, it's important to consider a different charger. The Leica charger is so big and bulky. And it only has a green light which goes off when it's charger. Virtually any other charger has at least 2 lights (working and charged) and is smaller--a consideration when traveling. I think this would be the best (at Amazon)  Kastar Ultra Fast Charger Kit for Panasonic DMW-BLC12, DMW-BLC12E, DMW-BLC12PP and DE-A79 work with Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ200, DMC-FZ1000, DMC-G5, DMC-G6, DMC-GH2 Cameras 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

marchyman Posted February 24, 2018 Share #27 Â Posted February 24, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) Yup, the ULQ. Â But I it was $28 including shipping, not $75.

I see it is now going for $60 on Amazon. The Nitecore NIkon and Canon chargers are $19.95, but the ULQ is $59.95. Seems a rip off for Leica. Bummer. Looks like a nice charger.

inlikeflynt56 Posted February 25, 2018 Share #30 Â Posted February 25, 2018 Pardon my ignorance but why do you need to use a different charger for a different battery? I charge a Lumix DMW-BLC12PP in my Q charger and it seems to work just fine. Won't consider using 3rd party batteries at all. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leica Guy Posted February 25, 2018 Share #31  Posted February 25, 2018 Pardon my ignorance but why do you need to use a different charger for a different battery? I charge a Lumix DMW-BLC12PP in my Q charger and it seems to work just fine. Won't consider using 3rd party batteries at all. Thanks You don’t need a different charger, but some like myself are never satisfied with the status quo. I use the LUMIX charger when I’m traveling because it’s much smaller than the Leica charger and I only need a micro-USB cord for it. It’s part of chasing perfection which is never attainable, but the quest is fun anyway. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marchyman Posted February 25, 2018 Share #32 Â Posted February 25, 2018 (edited) Pardon my ignorance but why do you need to use a different charger for a different battery? Â Â Try again... sometimes you do, sometimes you dont. Â Depends upon the form factor of the battery along with voltage and current specs.

plantagoo Posted April 3, 2018 Share #33  Posted April 3, 2018 I also located a Lemix DC-K5 and it’s great for traveling. It only requires a micro-USB plugged in. I like that it’s so small.  For 6 bucks I'll give it a try... Thanks.  Greetings Erik Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
prk60091 Posted April 3, 2018 Share #34  Posted April 3, 2018 here it is for $25.  https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1297988-REG/nitecore_ulq_usb_travel_charger_for.html  as of today (3april) discontinued at b&H Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougg Posted April 8, 2018 Share #35 Â Posted April 8, 2018 (edited) Nitecore website shows the ULQ offered now is an updated version, perhaps explaining why B&H (temporarily?) shows it discontinued. I just got a new ULQ yesterday from the Nitecore store, works great. Edited April 8, 2018 by Dougg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minigill Posted May 13, 2018 Share #36  Posted May 13, 2018 Are there two versions as I see Nitecore site shows upgrade version ? I am looking to purchase in the UK but the websites available don't mention upgrade version but it could be this is the only version now?

redseca2 Posted June 8, 2018 Share #37  Posted June 8, 2018 Late to the conversation here. But I purchased Wasabi clone batteries for my D-Lux without worry, but went with the expensive Leica branded battery for my Q.  One middle road option: Last time I looked, Adorama had several "used" batteries for the Q at discount. I assume these were only used for a short period in demo cameras. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Q2 battery is much larger and a different design. I like the Nitecore chargers. Small and they work very reliably off a USB connection. Handy. They’re made for the Q and the Q2. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
