size of charger? Which brings us to my question: how bulky is the battery charger on the ZS1?

Ginkgo, I know what you re talking about regarding AA batteries. You can find them everywhere. I bought a ZS1 to take to the Philippines rencently. The rechargeable battery is smaller than two AAs. The charger is a bit smaller than half a pack of cancer sticks, and will handle 110-220 volts although you may need an adapter. Charger and adapter are smaller than half a pack and weigh less than two AAs. Both my wife and I took our cameras and chargers. Weight and size are no problem for us one-bag travellers. Monte L.

Hi there.... actually i never took it out of the plastic package until now! it seems to be around 3 feet long perhaps just a bit longer. if you have a Samsung Note 3, you might get fooled as i was since the plug into the phone is so much smaller than the official charger that came with it. i complained about this to another supplier from whom i order a car charger, and they correctly told me that their charger (and this one) plug into the right hand, larger size hole into the phone, and that seems to be the case. after two iphones i must admit this is a superior phone in many ways, although i stick with my ipad and MacBook Pro for other stuff, Steve

Unfortunately, it is not smaller. Although the charger works great, I have the same problem - it takes up two plug-in spaces on the power strip because of the way it has to be plugged in.

Well from what I have observered anything over 1/3 inch wont connect to the charger. But the more important question is how is the extended battery connect to the setup. I suggest you check out youtube videos for the installation.

No I would say more about an inch thick . Maybe a little more but not much at all. Trust me it's worth it . I'm a heavy cell user while working and only use 50 % in about 8 hours . Factory battery charging all night after 3 hours steady use.

No, the Z1S is not the same size and the camera is placed in a different place. if you try to use it with the Z1S, the phone will not fit in the case and the camera will be blocked off.

I just got it on monday, and so far so good. It's 6 inches long by 3 inches wide and 1 inches tall. So far it just gave me 2 full-time charges for my Samsung Galaxy note 2. Now I need to recharge it again.

It doesn't much matter unless your charging your battery very quickly, such as jumping it. Which isn't good for batteries anyway. I purchased the 1.1amp. I have a car that I don't drive very often the battery died and it took about a day or so to fully charge. Though slow its better for the battery. One nice feature about the 1.1 amp model is the cold charge feature. I use this feature in upstate NY because cold batteries should be charged even slower. Either way the .75 and the 1.1 amp models are both trickle chargers. So they will slowly charge your battery and turn on and off as needed. I'd say you can't go wrong with either but for 10 dollars more the 1.1 amp and it's winter charge feature is quite nice.

To be honest, it hasn't got much use in my household over the past year. We seem to just use the car charger and stick with one battery. However, I did use it the other day when I wanted to bring a backup battery, and it worked fine. For the price, it's a lot more durable than I expected. I hope that helps!

No it doesn't fit the Z1S properly, the sd card slot and the charging port are opposite and thus you would have to remove the case when you charged the phone.

Hey Randy,Battery charging time depends on a variety of factors (temperature, battery condition, state of charge, etc), but will take a good amount of time. When I was using it, my batts were never more than 25% discharged, the outside temp was 90 degrees, and charging took 2-3 hours. The charger is putting out more than 1000w, so it's not a lightweight.As far as the plug, it depends on what your car has. The connector is an SB50, which looks like two blades next to each other, enclosed in a flat plastic housing. About 1.25" wide, 1.5" long and 3/8" tall. You can swap the plugs, if the SB50 is not on your cart. I used this for a 1970s Taylor Dunn, so I had to custom-wire a cable for charging.

Yes, this will make the charger think that multiple batteries are one big battery. The charger will peak all the batteries and stop. Works great for 1S lipos. I would not recommend it for 2S and above however because you cannot balance charge each.

Yes, it is about the size of a Samsung Galaxy s, the first one. There are smaller ones out there, I chose this one for vacations to charge 4 devices if needed. It had the most amp hours.

Yes! It is super snug! Absolutely no wiggle room, which is kind of a problem..because my charger looks like it barely fits in the front pocket..it's a tight squeeze!

It's pretty adjustable. I don't know your specific model so I can't say for sure, but it would have to be pretty big not to fit in this. As to keeping it plugged into the charger; again, I don't know your model. I haven't had any problem with that, I always have it plugged in when I'm using it. You need to futz with the cord a little to get it where you want it but it's not a huge pain, and certainly not impossible.

It's is a micro USB charger so any device will do it. I'm not sure about the Z1charger.
