where to get battery charger for LX-1?

rumraisin · 5th July 2006

I have lost my charger for my LX-1 battery, and am told by the shop (the original dealer I think) that a new one is $80 (ouch!!) Does anyone know where to get a charger cheaply? The usual camera shops don't have it.

Eastgear selling charger for various battery models for about $20.
But do check and ensure the charger is working fine.

Yesterday I carried my R1 camera around the whole day only to find out that I got no juice for the camera. The 2 batteries are not charged properly by the Eastgear charger!
Wasted my time! @#$%

I think I will go for the real thing if there not much difference in price.

The ones they sell are OEM, right?
I would go for the real thing but unfortunately the real thing in the shop I found is bloody expensive. I'm looking for other shops that sell cheaper.
