Hello all,

  Does anyone know if Leica makes a Multiple Battery Charger for the "Q" Batteries?

  I rather doubt it..  I just wanted to get away from Buying another "single"  charger

Thank you.

Thank you.

who could afford multiple batteries? i was lucky to find a discounted open box one on ebay for a spare. 

i have two of the watson battery chargers which take plates for whatever batteries you want to charge. they take two plates at once and so if there's a plate for the sl or q2 then you could charge two at once. i've been searching and haven't found any yet which surprises me--they have plates for hundreds of different batteries.

  They  actually  went up in price!  I was on the BH site the other day  they're  up to $285..  Such an expensive bit of kit.

  Ok thanks for the  reply.. I had a buddy mention Watson Chargers..

  I thought i was going to reply with good news..  I can normally  come up with  place for batteries. Every place i looked  was OOS.

  When i had a few extra  dollars i bought  2 at  a time  just in case this happened.

There is a possibility:

a charger for charging in your car: Nitecore BP-SCL4

Available on Amazon. About 55$.

Hey there!,

  Thanks for the reply.  I'll have a look see.

I have the Nitecore - works well.

I also have the Nitecore.  Generally the Leica charger stays home and the Nitcore, with an extra battery travels with me. I plug it into the same USB I use for my phone while traveling.  It saves some weight, and a considerable amount of space in my little camera bag.

However I have noticed that though the Nitecore works well for my purpose, it does not charge as much as the Leica charger.  A fully charged battery from Nitecore is considered around 80% by Lecia.  I haven't compared a photo count till drained between the two.  For my purpose the Lecia battery will generally get me through a day of shooting but I like to have a spare just in case.

Thank you very much for the replies.

  I love to have a spare with me also.  There's nothing worse than running out of power  when there's more photos to take.  I'll have a look at the Nitecore.

  Thanks again.
