wlaidlaw Posted December 10, 2024 Share #1 Posted December 10, 2024 Advertisement (gone after registration) Can you leave a Q3 battery on the Leica charger, without it self-discharging, as a means of carrying a battery safely in luggage? Better chargers incorporate a diode to prevent self discharge/leakage. The other charger I am taking to Barbados over Christmas and New Year is the cheap Duracell one for my Panasonic TZ200D (Leica C-Lux clone), which does discharge a battery right down to flat, if you leave the battery on it, when not plugged in to a USB-Micro power source. The Q3 charger is just a convenient way to carry my third battery. I would not be carrying the charger with me when out and about as I have a small leather case for my second Q3 battery and two batteries are more than enough to see me through a day.
