I wish someone made these for the M10

This would alleviate most of my problems with the M10 . USB charging is great. Also the handy battery level indicator LEDs .

Yes, a M10 variant would be great.

SmallRig also make similar batteries with built in USB-C ports; they work flawlessly. I have their batteries for the Lumix GH7, and now Nikon ZR; using them out of body with USB-C  whenever possible. The thought of losing a Leica M11 etc. main logic board to a $2 Li-ion charger IC fault is best avoided; in body USB-C recharging is reserved for emergency use only.

"losing a Leica M11 etc. main logic board to a $2 Li-ion charger IC fault"

I was not aware of this. Does it happen often?

There’s always a risk with in body charging.. if they make the m10 batteries with this usb c port, i’d buy another m10
