If you have a spare battery for this camera which model did you buy? Can you use a cheaper non-Panasonic battery?

The camera's battery's part number is DMW-BCM13PP. We recommend you use only this battery.

I purchased a non Panasonic battery foor a spare on the recomendation of the Amazon web site and had to return it as it would not work in the DMC-TS5D 16.1. Went to the Batteries Plus web site and was able to purchase a spare Panasonic battery like the one that came with the camera. Should have done that from the begining. Hope this helps.

Yes. The Power 2000 battery for Panasonic DMW-BCM13E 3.6V 1500mAh 5.4 Wh batteries work well. I bought a two-pack from Amazon and they seem to be exact replacements for the original battery.

I got a second battery in an accessory kit that I bought. I believe that it is a Power2000 battery. Just look for one that is compatible with DMW-BCM13E Panasonic battery.

No, you should get a spare battery for this particular cameral, from Nikon, and keep it charged, as your spare.

I am not sure what you are asking, but I do know that I bought a case which was one of the ones Amazon linked to this camera when I bought to camera, and the case did not fit (it almost fit). The camera does not quite fit the usual sizes for Panasonics. So be careful that you buy the right size.

I do not know the specific answer to your question.... but I might suggest that you take the battery model number and find a current listing of the cameras that the Wasabi Power pack supports. Then check the Panasonic battery numbers for those cameras... if any match, it will work, if none match, you might be out of luck. Hope this helps.

I bought two extra generic batteries. Occasionally the camera prompts me stating that the battery will not work because it is not a downy product. If I give the blogging a light smack, insert a different battery, or even take the battery out and reinvest it the prompt doesn't appear and I can use the camcorder.

Yea with my experience you wanna go with the more expensive batteries that are made to last longer go to best buy and ask or go on google and search best batterys for digital camera theres batterys that handle better for these cameras and possibly look into rechargeable batteries

Thanks, I thought so. A friend of mine ordered a pkg deal from eBay and it didn't come with the charger. I guess she got ripped off with that. She ended up having to go out and buy one.One more question... I've been looking on here to find the best memory card for the camera without paying too much money for an actual Panasonic one. Is the Transcend memory card compatible? (The Transcend 16GB SDHC memory card with USB plug-in). I've read mixed reviews about which ones work or don't work.Thanks in advance & thanks for the previous response.

Bell and Howell would suggest their spare battery, which is actually not a bad price at $20.http://www.bhphotovideo.com/Bell & Howell - Rechargeable Li-Ion Battery Pack for DNV16HDZ Camcorder (3.7V, 1700mAh)But unless you need it for a second camera or to replace a truly damaged battery, I would suggest a external charger instead. You can charge it up and connect it to the camera and it should allow the camera to act as if its plugged in directly.

Official answer: No doing so may void your panasonic warrenty....however in the real world the panasonic stock batteries are too low a capacity for any real shooting and thus I used two Wasabi batteries on my DisneyWorld trip last September and no problems at all, I always had and still have a consistant 2h16min charge at full capacity on the Wasabi.

Yes. You still may need to replace the small battery inside the screen. Be sure to replace that with the VERY same one. Panasonics will not work in this device for some reason. We got a 3 pack at Radio Shack and keep the spares on hand.

I finally was able to find an authorized battery through Vann's. Great site, great customer service. Mine was backordered, but it came in a few weeks and has been working fine. It looks exactly like the battery that came with the camera. http://www.vanns.com/shop/servlet/item/features/752883080/panasonic-dmw-bcg10?s_c=site_search

It takes a Cannon Battery PackNB 4L 3.7V 760mAh (L-ion) I picked up a spare battery from a drug store camera shop like Wal Greens It works as well as the original battery, which I have used extensively for about 3 years. Replacement batteries are relatively cheap but you need a battery charger too. Great Camera!! I am an appraiser and have used this camera for at least 14 years. The replacement battery numger is NB4LH 3.6V 1000mAh Li-on

This uses 1 CR123A battery. These batteries are replaceable and can be ordered through Amazon at better prices than a regular store. I don't know if you can purchase rechargeable CR123A's from someone else like Panasonic.

Sony makes a powerful long-lasting battery for this camera, the NP-FV100. It's the biggest they make for this camera and it is all I use and has plenty of storage and long charge life before needing to be recharged. It costs a bit, but is well worth it. I bought other batteries for this camera but the big one is all you need.http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00336G7FA/ref=pd_aw_sbs_7?pi=SS115

I'm no tech whiz...and am not familiar with this stuff. Maybe you can do a cross reference with batteries...or else go to a site like Amazon and type in Panasonic HX-WA30 batteries and see what comes up. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

You're going to pass up on a great camera because you can't find a cheap replacement battery?? The camera already has decent battery life so if you just keep it charged you won't need to buy an extra battery. If you need an extra battery cuz you're taking a long trip and you won't have access to electricity then spend the extra $20. You'll have the battery for life and you'll have a great camera to boot.
