Is it branded with the Polaroid logo and does it have the PBT1000 model number on the battery door? You show 2 models in your pics.

It does have the Polaroid logo; it does not have the model number on the battery door.

I just got one and it does look like (and fit like) a Samsung battery. It's branded as Samsung. I've been happy with the battery life so far, especially for the price of the battery.

I have 2 and they both have the logo. It appears to just be a sticker though.

We have moved from our former residence, so I am not able to check on the brand. However, the one I received was an exact match for the ELK battery I replaced. Hope this helps.

It is genuine. I bought the EN-EL5 Nikon battery for my Coolpix p5000 as a second battery before going to Russia. They are hard to find. Local stores didin't have them in stock. Glad I did. One ran down a charge in the middle of a wonderful tour, so I used the backup. Nikon told me if you don't use the Nikon brand you will void your warranty. There are others that will fit if you want to take the chance. I recommend having 2. I was also told that when you charge the battery that has to be done inside the camera, to remove your memory card first in case the battery should leak. You won't ruin pix on the card.

OK, the battery I found was recognized by the G1 that I have with firmware version 1.4 and the original 14-45 lense. The battery I received read full charge when installed and I haven't charged it yet. It took @180 shots before the battery indicator changed, which makes me suspicious that the it will read true. Some circumvent the indicator to by pass the ID sensor. The battery "feels" a little lighter than the oem.Here is the link to the battery I got:DMW-BLB13 Battery For Panasonic G10 G2 GF1 GH1 1300mAhDon't trust the link 100%, it comes up differently at times. The battery I got was the Eforcity DMW-BLB13 for the G2, G10. I got mine directly from Eforcity.

I ordered 3 of them and 3 out of 3 where DOA. Polaroid says they are a discontinued product and where likely sitting on the dealers shelf too long. Got my money back easily from Amazon. I have had Polaroid Digital Cameras in the past and they both worked better that expected. I am considering the Polaroid XS10 or XS100 now. Sorry I can't answer your question, but good luck.

If you look at the picture of the back you can see that it is not Genuine. It is possible that some people are getting a genuine battery but that is just a sticker. If you want to see what real one looks like go to B&H.;

I agree that the photo is of the old battery, but the part number agrees with the RedLithium number on the Milwaukeetool.com site. I agree with Alex. I am suspicious because of the photo, and because the price is almost the same as the standard M12 battery.And there IS a difference in technology with Red Lithium over the older version.

Yes it is a Panasonic brand battery, however unlike the picture it came with Kanji characters on it. It apparently will work in other Lumix models that use this battery and in the GH2HK, but will not show the remaining power level in the GH2 or GH2H.Perhaps they have both types and are randomly sending out whatever they have, but the ones I got have the chinese characters on them.UPDATE: When I bought two of these they were only $26 each which I'm sure is why I got Japanese language batteries. Now that they're more than twice as much, I'm sure they must be sending out the actual BLC12s in english Yes it is a Panasonic brand battery, however unlike the picture it came with Kanji characters on it.

We have moved since I got the battery, so I can't check regarding the brand. It was physically an exact match for the one I had, and it performed well.

The brand name is BM Premium which as far as I can tell is sold by BigMikesElectronics.com on amazon. You cannot see the brand name sticker while the grip is attached. As far as I can tell it is a generic made grip which is offered by multiple sellers who can apply a brand sticker to it. What I can tell you is it has a good feel and sturdy design. I have had no issues with it so far and I have had it for about 6 months. Another good feature if it isn't already standard is it comes with 2 battery trays. One for Nikon or compatible batteries that fit the camera and one tray that accepts AA batteries if you're in a pinch. I hope all was helpful. Good photographing.

Just received mine... So, they DO exist.... Works great. Not a perfect camera, not a perfect printer, but cute little toy that will impress your friends.Good luck finding extra batteries.... I called Polaroid and they dont sell them. They make it easy to change the battery.... but with what? Hopefully they wake up and discover they can make money selling extra batteries so they can make $$$ selling the paper... the more power, the more print.... Jeff Thomson

I honestly don't know. I have had a hard time finding the film and both batches I have purchased have been defective in some way. I suggest going to the Polaroid website if they have one. Its my next step

I had two of these shipped and neither one worked. If you read the reviews other people have had the same problem. I can't believe it's made by Polaroid. Don't buy it.

both this one and the other panasonic battery i purchased (the other was a VW-VBT380) were as listed and were actual panasonic ones when i received them - but things change! so it may be a case of caveat emptor :(
