luminescence Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Hi there, I am in Thailand and cannot get spare batteries sent here via Amazon. To buy locally are very expensive, about $90 for an original Panasonic battery for a GX85 (BLG10E). I can however, get a no name battery that has slightly less storage capacity than the genuine brand. But the model I can get for about $25 is BLE9 PP which has been replaced now by the BLE9. Just wondering if anyone else has had any experience with BLE9 PP, how long it lasts, any issues? Also wondering if there is any word of an updated version of the GX85 coming out any time soon? Such a great camera, looking forward to any tweaks on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonpais Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Do not buy a cheap battery in Thailand. Get one from a reputable dealer, unless the shop you buy from accepts returns. See if you can try it out at the shop first to make sure it even works if you do though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinegain Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Erm, the GX85 shares its battery with eg. the LX100, the DMW-BLG10E, wouldn't use another battery. Don't get fixated on Amazon. Try eBay or an actual camera store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luminescence Posted December 26, 2017 Author Share Posted December 26, 2017 thanks for your responses, Thailand does not allow batteries to be mailed here, via ebay or Amazon. The batteries I am talking about are both in camera stores that sell Lumix cameras as well. Everything just costs about 25% more and in the original battery's case, double!
