OAproda charger for GX85

Have you used the OAproda charger and batteries for GX7, GX80/85?

Any problems regarding battery life? Any problems referring to compatibility issues? Any problems with charge indication i the camera?

The OAproda unit I am asking about is https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078NSSYH5?ref=em_1p_5_ti&ref_=pe_790700_410914940

Thank you,

Re: OAproda charger for GX85

Not used the particular brand but I suppose it is one of those modified USB external chargers that are very popular nowadays not only for Panasonic, but many brands as well.

Their ability to take direct power from usual y 5V (better 2A output) external USB battery pack is a big plus on top of its dual slot design.

I used the following:

However, please note GX7/85/9 etc use BLG-10 of 1,025mAh. BLE-9 has the same size of BLG-10 (I currently have a few of BLE-9 sharing among GF3, GX7 and GX85), which was original for older models like GF3 etc, has a lower capacity of 940mAh.

It is strange that the linked models still says to replace BLE-9 (nowadays most generic batteries have been updated/upgraded to BLG-10...! Who will buy older models?). Therefore have not seen BLE-9 compatible battery for quite a long while. Strange strange...

Re: OAproda charger for GX85

Thank you for the post.

Interesting that OAproda calls their battery DMW-BLE9E, but claims it has 1150 mAh.

Are you happy with the quality and capacity of the Ruibo brand battery?

By the way, I am still interested on comments by users of the OAproda charger/battery.

Thank you,

I ma jsut back fro a trip in Costa Rica where I charged my m10.2 and Gx80 batteries with external accumulators and dual USB chargers, while on the go.

No problems whatsoever.

So, my experience says go with confidence.
