GX80 battery on G3/GF2 charger: works!
1

Hello,

To those of you who have a GX80 (or GF3/5/6 or GX7) and have kept their G3 (or GF2, same battery), if you were thinking of buying a charger for the GX80, have a look at this.

Lumix BLG10E (GX80/85) battery charging on Lumix G3/GF2 dedicated charger. All you need to do is place a stop at the rear so the contacts gently meet (I used a felt tip cap here).

Voltage and amperage are practically identical on both cameras' batteries so no issues there. No overheating neither. It simply works!

Surely someone has thought of this before, wouldn't you think?

I've done similar (using a rubber band to keep contact pins touching the charging pins)
