Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Lenmar DLP007 Digital Camera Equivalent to the Panasonic CGA-S007A Battery
Customer Review: Cost Effective Replacement.
Summary: 3 Stars
This replacement battery represents good value but does not last as long as the Panasonic it replaces.On my TZ 5 it lasted about 70% as long as the original before requiring a recharge.Given the huge price differential,I am willing to recharge more often.Otherwise,the battery works great.If you need a long day of shooting you might reconsider.Customer Review: Use it while you charge your real battery
Summary: 3 Stars
The price is right, the product works but the battery does not hold a charge for very long. I find I use it only as long as it takes to recharge my Panasonic battery. Still, it is very useful that way.Customer Review: ok battery
Summary: 3 Stars
The battery fits fine in the camera and the charger but its life is not too long, so it is good for an extra but that is it.Customer Review: Does not last
Summary: 2 Stars
Upon recieving this Lenmar battery, I inserted it into the Panasonic DMC-TZ3 charger and it readily charged with no problem. (Some reviews I read indicated a problem with this Lenmar battery fitting into the charger which I did not encounter.) I then put it in the camera and it has functioned as well as the original equipment. I have not used the camera enough to determine if there is any significant difference in usage time between it and the original Panasonic battery, but it is certainly a bargain price.
UPDATE: After using this battery for a year it started not to hold a charge very long and eventually it would hardly work at all, so after usage, I found tis battery to be unsatisfactory and not that good a bargain. I am still using the original battery taht came with the camers from over 2 years ago. And I recently bought another backup battery on Amazon which seems to be working fine.
Customer Review: Short life and poor quality control
Summary: 2 Stars
Purchased 2 Lenmar DLP007 batteries to be used with Panasonic TZ3 digital camera.
One battery was dead after 1 charge cycle. Lenmar did replaced that.
Then during the past year, I continued to use Panasonic original battery and the 2 Lenmar batteries on regular rotation. Now, Panasonic battery still allows me to take 100+ photos easily. One Lenmar battery is now completely dead (cannot be recharged). The 2nd Lenmar battery holds only a fraction of the charge, maybe good for 30 photos.
So you might be able to get 6 months to 1 year worth of useful life out of the batteries, and then they do not hold the charge any more. These batteries are around half the price of Panasonic original batteries, but the useful life is not half of Panasonic battery.
