Also, I have decided on the cheap battery for my Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ10. Currently have still version 1.0, though the battery has been accepted without any problems. The charging time with the original Charger was a breeze, as the original battery. ... As for battery life I can currently see any shorter service life. Always comes to the degree of utilization - play around, try out, etc. - depends. ... From me a strong buy recommendation for the product :-)
