I bought this charger for my verbummeltes original charger my Lumix DMC-LX5. What can I say: No matter how long I the (original) battery so that charging: After inserting into the camera shows this maximum 3/4 battery capacity. After I had found the original charger and charge the same battery so, it was 100% again. Too bad, because I find the connection via cigarette lighter in your car a good thing.
