Very cheap, genuine BLG-10E batteries on Panasonic UK

Just bought two BLG-10Es for my Panasonic GX7 for £1.99 each from the Panasonic UK store.

They're normally £51.99 but if you search for BLG-10 rather than BLG-10E on their shop they're £1.99 each with free postage. The batteries that arrive are actually BLG-10E.

... as you and others say.

Four weeks ago I found that my 3 BLG10s (for my GX80) from DSTE were slightly bowed and one, in particular, was sticking in the camera. So I disposed safely of the real problem one and was going to order 3 replacements (for they had given me 4 years of excellent service).

So I merely entered a Google search for 'BLG10E' where it took me direct to Panasonic UK as above, "Sample pack" at £1.99 each including VAT with free postage.

My first reaction was "Oh dummies for display" - but I read the whole description and ordered three. on January 23rd - 10 days delivery by courier. Like others here, I thought, nothing to lose, even if they don't fit. They arrived on January 28th, I charged them up and they seemed fine.

I was about to post a similar one to yours, but wondered if it had been a web mistake by Panny; so - going to the website, all I could find was the £51.99, So decided it must have been an error, now corrected by Panny and so didn't share.

What is so very odd is the fact that different people seem to have found the same error on different days.

Has anyone news of any other batteries going cheap ? (After all the one thing that makes a digital camera obsolete is the lack of available batteries!)
