No. It has a rectangular shaped rechargible battery and comes with a charger. Good idea to buy 1 or 2 batteries and keep them as charged backup. The camera is NOT a battery hog from my experience.

It requires a micro-usb power cord, that can be attached either to a computer or an outlet. There is no external battery charger, and batteries will only charge in the camera.

i'm so sorry my answer was vague. there isn't a battery charger with the camera. you need to have a spare on hand if you take over approx 30-40 snaps. i hope this helps

It comes with a charger...but not the style you can put a battery in. One that plugs into the camera itself.

It just comes with the battery, some cables to charge and hook up the camera to your computer as well as a camera strap. I personally do not think this camera is very user friendly. It is difficult to switch from the video to camera mode and so you tend to miss moments/shots.

It comes with one battery and an external charger (that's standard from canon), but if you shoot video or spend a lot of time away from power (such as a sporting event), I've found it's wise to invest in 2 more batteries and another charger. Wasabi Power has a good one (on amazon), for only $20.

I see the two answers here say that the camera comes with a battery charger. Mine did not, nor was it listed as something that it was supposed to come with. It did come with a battery, and an AC adapter to charge the battery directly through the camera. I purchased two "Wasabi Power Battery (2 Pack) and Charger for Sony NP-BX1 and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX1, DSC-RX100, HDR-AS10, HDR-AS15" for $18.99 each, giving me five batteries total, and two battery chargers. I can't possibly take that many pictures in one day, the batteries work as good as the Sony one, and I now can charge the batteries outside of the camera, which has to save wear and tear on it.

Hi, did you you ever find out if the camera includes the battery charger? Thanks.

yes, it comes with a battery and a wall charger. However, you may wish to buy and extra battery if you plan on taking pictures all day or using the video function, which eats the battery, a car charger is a good idea too. But you'll be happy to know that I've been extremely happy with this camera bundle. You might want to consider a 35mm lens for shooting indoors or doing portraits. Enjoy! I hope this helps.

Camera did come with a battery and AC adapter/charger. I was concerned about that too, so I called Panasonic and they said it does come with charger and battery. However, you can't charge the battery outside the camera. The ac adapter charges the battery when pluged into ac and the camera is on standby. I was concerned about battery life so I bought additional batteries and a charger from Amazon (Mfg.-Wasabi). So far the camera is working ok, but there is a learning curve how to use all the features. I haven't had a chance to use it too often as yet, but it does take good video.

Yes, this camera includes a battery charger. The battery charger and all other standard accessories can be reviewed in the below link. http://service.us.panasonic.com/OPERMANPDF/DMCTS5.PDF#page=9

I'd like to know the same thing! How about it, does this kit have a battery charger, or do you need to recommend one for us to purchase?

No... it does not. But... I wouldn't buy one that did unless you have some specific need. It will eat your batteries and there are enough easy ways to get the pics off with a direct cable attachment or easy extraction of the SD memory card which can then be plugged into your PC. I love this camera and as I use it mostly for outside camping events I love the built in GPS which always lets me to back to the location where I took the pic... Steve/Boise, Id

The camera comes with a small charger with a male plug on the back that folds flat against the back of the charger when not used but you have to remove the battery. If you take a lot of pictures , I mean like 135 or more, I would get a spare battery. Great camera, I was going to spend a lot more but I'm glad I didn't.
