grahamhoey Posted April 9, 2019 Share #1 Posted April 9, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) Does anyone know where to get a spare battery for the S1R. Everywhere to my knowledge in North America seem to be out and backordered. I am traveling on an extended trip in Europe and Asia starting this weekend and would hate to have just one battery with me. I plan on taking my SL as well and have lots of batteries for it but plan on using the S1R a lot more. If there are some available in Europe I would order and get sent to my hotel in Rome which is our starting point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are showing as 'in stock' on the selection of UK dealers I have just checked .... so I suspect you find them easy to source in europe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamhoey Posted April 9, 2019 Author Share #3 Posted April 9, 2019 Thank you, is there somewhere you could suggest that you think would ship to my hotel in Rome by the weekend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thighslapper Posted April 9, 2019 Share #4 Posted April 9, 2019 no ....... but if it was me I would search for panasonic dealers in Rome and see if the show any stock availability..... and buy direct in person while you are there. Plenty of German/Dutch dealerships have english versions of their websites and ship globally next day ..... but then you run into issues with shipping to an address different to the credit cardholder..... which is invariably difficult to circumvent. Might be easier to ask the hotel to have a hunt on the internet for dealers for you when you get there ..... they will know which is closest and may be able to check availability online. My quick hunt proved difficult as the pesky search engines always default to your current location. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
