Pana GH5 - Power to Go !!

[Baron LaCat]

Ordered a dual battery charger on Ebay, and it came with four GH5 batteries. Add the one that came with the camera, plus a spare battery I kept from my GH4 days....Power to Go

Now all you need is a clever system of keeping track which batteries are in what charging state. I got myself two additional batteries and already get confused.

Also I am a bit paranoid about not keeping them all in one place given all the incidents with LiIon batteries lately. It may even be that you will not be allowed to take so many aboard an airplane together.

Other than that - you certainly look prepared to take a couple hundred GB of 4k videos before running out of energy. Happy shooting!

That's great, how about a link - impossible to find the vendor from your graphic!

Do the batteries work 100% with the GH5? How is the capacity?

Despite what a few early reviews have told us, I'm finding my GH5 eats batteries compared to the GH4. The price certainly looks good, keep us informed of their performance & life please.

That's certainly my experience, have no idea what made the reviewers report otherwise.

I wonder, how four batteries incl. charger could be that cheap and I wonder how good the batteries really are. There are a lot of bad quality batteries out, cheap clones.

I would not tale my 2000 $ camera at risk just to save some money at the purchase of batteries.

Now all you need is a clever system of keeping track which batteries are in what charging state. I got myself two additional batteries and already get confused.

I just label my batteries "1", "2", "3", etc. so that I can charge and use them in sequence. I normally have two batteries charged up at any point in time: the one in the camera and a spare in the camera bag.
