Advertisement Posted June 28, 2019 Posted June 28, 2019 Hi DonnaW, Take a look here Battery for Q2. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
RoySmith Posted June 29, 2019 Share #2 Posted June 29, 2019 It’s my fault. I have 3 - The problem is I don’t have a Q2 yet! (1 came with the SL, and 2 extras) 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
drunkenspyder Posted September 2, 2019 Share #3 Posted September 2, 2019 I have concluded that the time it took to receive my Q2, and the wait and price for a spare battery, are all part of an insidious Hasselblad plot to make their wait times and prices seem reasonable by comparison. 🤣 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralphh Posted September 3, 2019 Share #4 Posted September 3, 2019 Cause Leica. Fashion accessories don't need customer service or available spares. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean this is kinda true? It does seem that Leica is in over its head in a number of ways. I'm not rooting against it, in fact I'm more tempted to dig my hole deeper and go in further with an M10P or a CL. But it will be interesting to see where this company is in five years time. If the future is uncertain for the larger companies, I cannot see how it's any more certain for Leica. I am hoping they have an iron clad pact with Panasonic, that's not a bad tech partner to have. They're pretty impressive. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullmoon Posted September 6, 2019 Share #6 Posted September 6, 2019 Seems there is a trick to getting one - someone posted a source from NJ - search for it and that may help you if you are in the US. I was able to get one within a few days - made my vacation with the Q2 way less stressful. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
photogray Posted September 7, 2019 Share #7 Posted September 7, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) Keep a lookout on Ebay. As incredible as it may seem, the Leica Store in Nurnberg, Germany listed one two weeks ago on Ebay for about $150 new. I just received it and it is as advertised. Took about 9 days to get to NYC, no customs duty due as well. I'm still trying to figure out how they could sell it for $100 less than US dealers.

chinmay007 Posted September 11, 2019 Share #10 Posted September 11, 2019 India Leica website - Q2 - BP-SCL4 is available with ~ 9 in stock - Got mine yesterday. Can email them if they deliver international. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LexS Posted September 13, 2019 Share #11 Posted September 13, 2019 The Leica Q has a battery that is the same as in one Panasonic (and some other makes afaik), so there is enough on the market. The Leica Q2 has the same battery as the SL, and there are no other camera makes alternatives. With the success of the Q2 it is still almost impossible to find Q2 batteries. Scarcity brings price fluctations usually. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlcarr Posted September 13, 2019 Share #12 Posted September 13, 2019 I was able to just purchase one from Glazer's camera in Seattle. Free Shipping and no tax. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoySmith Posted September 15, 2019 Share #13 Posted September 15, 2019 The Think Tank DSLR Battery Holder is great for 2 Q2 batteries. When 1 is spent I insert it with terminals facing out as a reminder to recharge it. Welcome, dear visitor!

So far I only have one extra battery, so the unused pouch just bunches up and overall takes up less space. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
