Default Recommendations for 3rd Party Battery for LX3 (S005)

Hi,
Does any one here have recommendation for a reliable 3rd party battery for LX3 (CGA-S005) that actually lasts longer than Panasonic original battery or at least equivalent?
Please include the price & where to get it.
My present 3rd party battery is terrible, less than 10 mins of play and its showing last bar

Thanks in advance.

Where to get this DiVipower PA-S005, 2500mAh? How much is it?
On paper, it should last for very long considering the panasonic one is only 1,150mAh.

You need to condition the battery. Fully discharge and fully charge again...if not improved, then "waste" your "time & money" looking for new battery or send back.
