3rd party batt for fz5

[newbiegrapher]

Went to Alan photo and ask the price.
It costs $25 but i forgot to ask the brand.
What do we need to look out for to choose a good battery?
Is the price reasonable ?

don't buy those from AP.

check out here: www.eastgear.com.sg

they sell one of the better 3rd party batts in the market, most users responded that they get longer battery life than the original one from eastgear batts.

it costs $34.95 and only 800mAh. 800 seems quite low.

think this is an old repeat of many msgs..
anyway original panasonic is 680mAh only..

Hi,

Just got my OEM battery from Alan Photo yesterday,
price $28, 1200mAH.

Is that consider good?

Thanks

whats the difference bet 680, 800 and 1200 mAh? The supplied battery is 680mAh, so if i buy a 3rd party battery, should it be higher or lower, or it doesnt really matter?

Go to Infocom at Funan #04-20/21/22.
Got my EastGear 900mah from there for $28.90.

If you go EastGear at PP, they are selling 900mah at $34.95..

i think one day at plug, i'll bring my multimeter + a circuit..
can we test all the OEM batteries and see which gives the highest capacity?
the 980mAh one i haf seem to suck.. i am curious if it's really 980mAh...
as for the 1200mAh.. amazing if it's true.. it should last almost twice as long as the panasonic one if it's true..
