Is anyone using this battery with a Panasonic SD40P &amp; does it allow the remaining time to display?

I do not have the same camera but it does display the time remaining on my camera. Panasonic HC-V500.

No. The display will always show the last time it was set to. Do not concern yourself with the battery life because it will last for a long time.

I haven't timed it exactly either. But I can get through 3-4 movies (balanced settings) and still have half battery life. Hope this helps!

It would be nice if the manufacturer addressed this question but probably the battery is a deep-cycle which means the more it's discharged before charging the better - that's probably why Panasonic switches on a charge indicator at 10% - I just go by that.

the camera you are using should have come with a charger i would go to panasonic website i think you can get parts one other thing off label batterys are ok but will not give you you on screen warnings about battery life

Thanks for the lowdown. I didn't spend much money for the Eneloops, so as long as the work better than the Panasonic stock batteries, i'm happy for now. I will look into the batteries you mentioned though if I need to.

I have a Panasonic HC-V201, This battery works after I made a slight modification on it. Looking at the side with the label, there are six tabs, three on each side. The center tab, on the label side of the battery, on the left side, I had to remove with a sharp knife or razor blade. Then it fit into the back of the camera and works great. I purchased a 3800 mAh 3.7V replacement battery. Use my camera for day trips, the larger battery does last for 4 hours.

hi carlos, i charged it for a few hours, but i think you can use it immediately. i dialed out and it worked. had it since december 2013. i have a panasonic phone and the original battery would have cost $35, of course it did last 2 years, we'll see.

Thanks SFer!I agree 1000%! I was planning on purchasing another Panasonic battery so that I have one on standby, but I can't find the Panasonic one, and I can't tell which other one to buy. Every time I think I found it, I read reviews on it and people say not to buy it because it's not compatible. It's really confusing. Fortunately for Panasonic, I really LOVE the camera and can't wait to get my hands on it.Thanks for the list of what's included. You're right about that too... no list anywhere to be found. What's up with that??I'll go to Panasonic and download the PDF file you mentioned.Thanks! Thanks SFer!I agree 1000%!

both this one and the other panasonic battery i purchased (the other was a VW-VBT380) were as listed and were actual panasonic ones when i received them - but things change! so it may be a case of caveat emptor :(

Worked in Panasonic phone, but for some reason they required charging; even though they were listed as charged. After charge they work fine and don`t appear to self discharge much. After days off charge, handset still shows full charge.

Well it depends on what you are running on the camera from what I can tell so far. My camera has been broken a few times so I haven't really had a chance to see the life of the battery. The battery that came with the camera was bad. It died within an hour and wouldn't hold a charge. Mind you the camera was purchased DIRECTLY from Olympus. That wasn't good to have a bad camera AND a bad battery. :( I got a replacement and it seems to work fine. But I can't give you a true time length as I haven't tested it yet past an hour or two with general use.

I used one for a year and a half in my D5100 before the camera stopped recognizing it as a compatible battery (likely the internal IC chip developed a fault). The warranty is three years so I contacted Blue Nook (the vendor). After a short phone conversation with a very nice gentleman he sent me not one, but FOUR replacement batteries at no cost to me! I have been using them in rotation for a couple of months now with no issues. I did not have to return the old battery, so in theory it should still be usable in a battery grip alongside a fully working battery (although I have not tried yet).

Yes, that being said it doesn't happen very often because the batteries usually fail after a month, that coincides with a 32mb card being full. I have mine set to film all day on a 4 second delay, days are shorter in the fall so you'll get another week. Battery life varies considerable because their mass produced and temperatures effect them so much, I could write a lengthy dissertation on battery brands and models after using them in my 3 camera's, they are the ultimate battery testers!

I have the SD700 and I am looking to upgrade to the 850 or something similar. Both seem to have the same battery indicator issue. It would be really nice for them to include an indicator but, alas, no. So what I do with the 700 is 1) have a second battery. I rarely need it but it is good to have on vacations and other high use periods. 2) The battery will last for WEEKS when I am not using it to often, so when its convenient I throw it in the charger. It usually takes less than an hour to come to a full charge. Good luck!

On the Panasonic GH4? 1 hour and 25 min! and 45 min in 1080p All-I! It works perfectly for both, no problems. Better than I ever expected
