OAproda® DMW-BCM13 Charger New Generation High Efficient Micro USB Battery Charger for Panasonic DMW BCM13, DMW-BCM13PP, DMC-ZS30, DMC-ZS35 [ More Slim - Less Weight - More Solid ]

Got this for a camera i bought that didn't have a charger. This charger worked better than i thought it would as it has the indicator on top that shows you how much life is in the battery and how many bars it's charged thus far and it's a usb charger so you can charge wherever you may be and don't need to rely on just plugging it into a wall outlet... only drawback when i first plugged it up it took a few minutes for the screen to come on to indicate that it was working but other than that no complaints at all.

I wondered about this unit when I ordered it, but it seems to work just fine. I was looking for a portable charger for my Panasonic DMC-ZS50 camera (DMW-BCM13 battery), since it only charges in the camera. This unit worked great. I like the idea of the USB charger, since I have lots of USB converters and can also use it in the car. It is small and uses a standard Micro-USB connector. I also like the very small size, only slightly larger than the battery itself. This was the most economical external charger for this camera that I found and seems to be a very good value.

Works, but the batteries fit so snugly that I'm afraid the tiny little plastic stops that hold it in place will break off at any minute. Also the LED light that changes color when the battery is completely charged doesn't seem to work for me.

Charger died after 9 months. I contacted manufacturer and they did not reply. It was cheap so maybe you get what you pay for...

Thought the item was a little flimsy

This charger not only saves space but normalizes voltage properly. This is a shortcoming with the stock charger. I first started noticing camera problems with OEM charger when traveling to Thailand. Whenever I was to charge the battery using the original charger which plugs directly into the wall socket, the 220 voltage caused erratic spikes in the battery that made the camera screen flicker at at a very high rate resulting in inability to operate properly. This USB charger has eliminated that problem completely.

Great product, cut the weight you have to pack by 2/3 and size in 1/2 compared to other chargers. Works great.

Great inexpensive USB charger. It works very well and is easy to pack. The USB cord is only 10" long and would be nicer if it were twice that long.
