Hi, could you please let me know if these spare batteries show the battery charge level in the viewfinder of the DMC-ZS40, thanks

I use my batteries in a Pansonic DMC-TZ40 which I understand is the same as a ZS30. The TZ40 correctly shows the declining battery level and the indicator turns red just moments before the camera shuts itself off due to low battery.

Mine do not, but neither does the one that came with the camera. The camera will show the charge, but not the battery itself.

They charge in the DSTE wall charger in 1 to 2 hours, depending on how flat they were discharged. They work well in the camera and last longer than the OEM battery. They also activate the camera battery meter display as they claim, so it is a very good choice for the Lumix vs. the OEM expensive spare battery. I just got back from a 2 week bus tour vacation and found if you use the camera all day, you really need 3 batteries. This worked out well to have the aftermarket pair and the OEM battery. I could charge two batteries in ht echarger in the span of time the camera charged the one still in the camera, if it was flat. The in-camera charging is pretty slow, like 3 to 4 hours if it is flat. topping a battery off in the camera was OK, an hour or so. This charger and batteries is a good product.

I simply own the Lumix DMC-ZS30 and have sold an extra of the pack in discussion, so I might not be the best person to ask. However, according to Panasonic's website, the ZS19 uses a different model battery than the ZS30 (DMW-BCG10 versus the DMW-BCM13E).

Your battery is listed as compatible with the DMZ-DS20. this charger charges batteries that fit that camera. I would assume that they will be compatible.

the D800 reports, and actually most Nikon Bodies with separate batteries pack do report the remaining charge of the battery/batteries installed in the battery grip MD-12. Now the reliability of this number may be questionable. But the 2 Smatree batteries I have seems to last quite a long time. Actually I never really ran one down, although I have a big lens, with VRII, GPS unit and other accessories.

Did not work for my DMC-ZS7 battery - was WAY too big for the battery. Very disappointing! My battery # is DMW-BCG10PP

I purchased this battery for the Panasonic DMC-FH25 and it is correct for my camera - It appears that DMC sz1 model uses the identical battery. The batteries listed as applicable to my camera also list the same one for the DMC sz1.

Hi Tim - I am not able to confirm as I have the DMC-ZS8 and it does fit that camera. I think with a little research you can confirm what battery part number you need. Panasonic has many batteries that all are very similar. Be carefull. I hope this helps.

Usually this kind of batteries come charged with 40% or less, I think this was the case but I'm not certain

My camera is the DMC-Zs19 and its battery is the DMW-BCG10GK. The battery that I ordered that does work is the DMW-BCG10PP.

Sorry, but I have no idea. I have the DMC-TZ3. Even though my camera battery was listed as one the charger would work with, I was a little hesitant. It works quite well, however, and was actually the same kind my camera originally came with. Hope this helps.

It works well in my DMC-SZ1 camera and the battery will also charge while inside the camera -- that's not true for all non-OEM batteries in some Panasonic cameras. I don't know about the -SZ3, but I think the differences between the -SZ1, -SZ2 and -SZ3 models are mostly in the video output part the camera so that they can adapt to different television/video standards in different parts of the world. --John

I have been using these for a year with no problems on my ZS40. In fact they last for more pictures than the Panosonic batteries which are chargeable in the same charger.

yes. You will be able to see the battery levels on the LCD of the camcorder.

Yes. I think that's a function of the camera. So I think you should be able to see the remaining battery level using any compatible battery.

Thanks for the link, Repro. I'm in the process of ordering a battery as I type this. According to the reviews of the battery, all zs3 owners/reviewers are reporting success with this battery no matter what firmware the camera has. Thanks again for the info.
