SMALLRIG for DMW-BLK22 Battery 2520mAh USB-C Replacement for Panasonic LUMIX GH5 / S5, 2.5H Full Charged Battery for Panasonic LUMIX GH5 II, S5 II, GH7, GH6, S9, S9 II, S5 IIX, Orange - 4979

I have been using this SmallRig DMW-BLK22 battery for Panasonic cameras for it must be at least six months or more and it's been absolutely flawless. The battery lasts the exact same length of time as the original Panasonic battery that came with the camera. When it's in the camera I cannot tell any difference from the Panasonic OEM battery. The SmallRig version of this battery has the added functionality of being able to charge it via a usb-c cable meaning I do not have to set up the full battery charger and means I can charge the battery in the car with again just a usb-c cable. Hence it's easier to charge and more versatile to charge. it of course also fits into the camera as the original battery does, the dimensions are perfect. lastly the battery is far far better value and cheaper than the original Panasonic batteries direct from Panasonic. So I absolutely and whole heartedly recommend this battery for compatible Lumix cameras.

Brilliant - USB feature on the battery for powering other stuff. The battery itself has great longevity. Good price, great colour - easy to find especially if you drop it in the long grass. Just brilliant!

Great functionality, the USB C direct charging makes life easier considering Panasonic doesn't provide a charger anymore with their cameras. Battery life is as good as OEM and charges fairly quickly. Pricing is good compared to OEM batteries.

Brilliant battery, probably last longer than the official one. With the added bonus of the independent charge usb.

Charged up within it's stated time (3hr I think) was weary of 3rd party batteries (no issues so far), love the fact you can charge via USB C, with red and green charge status lights.

These are quality batteries. In my opinion they are almost equal to the original Panasonic batteries but at a far better price. The bonus is the USB C charging option. I purchased a handful for shoots and they have been reliable.

Great performance, lasted for an entire 3 hour shoot with my Lumix S9. USB charging works well as a backup if needed. Only downside is it doesn't have the USB on the bottom so it can be used as a dummy battery, but that's obvious from looking at it. Good value third party battery.

Excellent batteries, the built in USB C port is a game changer for travelling light. Battery life is as good as the OG batteries, and the colours help distinguish them quite easily. 2 of these with the OG battery can keep you going for a day easily
