Shuttermuse Posted August 14, 2019 Share #5 Posted August 14, 2019 B&H and Adorama had a few recently, but could not ship by international air due to restrictions. I was traveling lately and visited Leica stores in Amsterdam, Hong Kong, and dealers in Ireland etc... no stock anywhere.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbripley Posted August 14, 2019 Share #8 Posted August 14, 2019 Neither the Leica boutique in Florence or Rome had any in stock last week. Multiple stores in Stockholm claim to have stock though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BXL Gotham Posted August 22, 2019 Share #12 Posted August 22, 2019 Confirmed by NYC dealer to me today. Major short supply. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
photogray Posted August 29, 2019 Share #13 Posted August 29, 2019 I just bought a new one on Ebay from the Leica Store in Nurnburg, at a much lower price than the US price. I'm curious if anyone knows the import duties on Li-on batteries. By the way, the store, at least according to Ebay, had more in stock and is shipping to USA.

Cheesehead Posted January 8, 2020 Share #14 Posted January 8, 2020 Not only am I finding it difficult to locate a battery. Now the online US sites seem to have raised their prices. I am now seeing $275 up from what was a steady $250. And stocks seem in short supply. Is this a lithium issue or is it from Leica? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much cheaper than US, and they are in stock. The only issue is they don’t seem to ship overseas... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this a lithium issue or is it from Leica? 130€ in Germany, just the other day in the new Leica store in Stuttgart. And it wasn't the last in the drawer.... This absurd price in US-$ has to be a tariff thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
microview Posted January 8, 2020 Share #18 Posted January 8, 2020 (edited) Park Cameras (UK) says two in stock today, but no idea if they would ship abroad. Leica Aperture (London) also shows battery in stock. More likely they would ship out of the country. Edited January 8, 2020 by microview Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are out of stock now. The BP-SCL4 battery fits three very popular cameras - the Q2, the SL and the SL2. That has to be a contributing factor in the battery shortage.
