Customer Review: Lenmar Equivalent to Panasonic CGA-S002
Summary: 4 Stars
It works in the camera. This is the second Lenmar battery I have used.
They do not seem to last as long as Panasonic but a good value.
Customer Review: Different dimensions than Panasonic battery
Summary: 3 Stars
This battery does exactly what I need it to (power my Panasonic DMC-FZ1 camera) with a modification. The Lenmar battery is slighter shorter than the Panasonic battery and therefore does not make a consistent connection to power the camera. I had to improvise by slipping a small piece of cardstock paper under the clip that holds the battery in to hold it tight to the connections. Otherwise the camera would not turn on or, worse, shut off in the middle of using it. The slip of paper does the job but then taking the battery out, charging it, and putting it back in isn't as quick or easy of a job as it was with the original battery, now that I have to keep track of the slip of paper and reseat the battery carefully with the slip of paper in place. If I knew what I know now, I think I would have bought another Panasonic battery to keep from dealing with this... it is too important to have a camera that works when you need it to when you have a 2-yr-old!Customer Review: Failed after two years
Summary: 3 Stars
I had a Lenmar battery for almost two years and it went dead one fine day without any provocation! I got the battery almost as soon as I had bought the FZ20 in 2006, and had used it interchangably with the Panasonic battery. They both lasted nearly same, maybe slightly longer than the Panasonic.
Even though the Panasonic is still working, and I dont know why the Lenmar failed, I would still get another Lenmar as it is half the price of a Panasonic brand. Bottomline: Cheap, yes, maybe not as reliable as the Panasonic ones.
Customer Review: Not bad for the price
Summary: 3 Stars
At first I was quite upset with these non-Panasonic batteries in my FZ20 camera. They didn't seem to hold a charge very well. But after 2-3 complete charge/discharge cycles, they are all performing quite well now. Not quite as much capacity as a Panasonic battery, but for the price a good deal. If your camera's battery indicator shows only a few minutes of charge when you first use the battery, don't send it back---charge and discharge it a few times and THEN see how it performs.Customer Review: Acceptable sub but...
Summary: 3 Stars
This battery is much lower cost than the Panasonic original, and it does work, but my impression is that the battery is lower in quality than the Panasonic original. It seems to run down faster than the factory original, even though it has the same mAH rating (or better). I get fewer photos before the low batt alarm comes on. But, it does work, and saves me real money, so I have mixed emotions.
