Hi!

 

My dad's Digilux 2 battery is dead--and he's leaving for China tomorrow afternoon (Monday, March 10th) out of Boston.

 

We're very sure it's the battery and not the camera.

 

I Googled around looking for a dealer in Boston that may have the Digilux 2 battery on hand. No direct luck.

 

Can somebody in the Boston area recommend the names of some dealers that are most likely to have the Digilux 2 battery in stock?

 

Thanks much in advance!

Will

Not sure if you are aware that there has been a D2 sensor failure that has been heavily discussed on this forum, and Leica has an extended a warranty to address this.

 

You should test the D2 again with the AC power supply, to confirm your diagnosis.

Thank you! I forwarded the information (and offers of help) to my Dad so he can follow up appropriately before he gets on the plane!

 

If any of you need help when you're in the Philly area, don't hesitate to PM me.

 

Thanks,

It's been out of production for, what, 2 years now so I would have thought it's a special order item. In the nature of things, they are going to get more difficult to obtain and I've bought some compatibles which work fine. It's a Panasonic camera of course so you might try Panasonic dealers.

It's essentially the same battery as the L1 and Digilux 3 (small mAh difference only) and possibly also the L10 so try asking for those as alternatives.

Thanks for everyone who responded. In the end my Dad was able to obtain a battery from a forum member in the Boston area from a helpful forum member.

 

Thanks,
