Review on Wasabi Power Panasonic DMW BLC12 DMW DCC8 by Shawn Jacobs

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Almost right. Technically wrong in just one important respect.

The title and description says it works with the Panasonic DMC-G85. It does not fit in the cell and cannot be used. It's possible that the cameras listed all use the same battery, so Wasabi assumed the same dummy battery would work. The dummy battery cable exits the side instead of the bottom, so the dummy battery does not fully penetrate the camera. In theory it would be possible to cut a piece out of the battery model to reroute the wire, but I decided against it. The photos show the direction of the wire I need, so the product doesn't match the description or the picture. The battery model case is exactly the same size as the real battery. Some other dummy batteries are missing a piece in the corner where the wire is; Now I know it's there, so you can bend the wire so it goes in the right direction. A random inconsistency is that the picture shows the power supply outputting 9V, but the unit I got puts out a more reasonable 8.4 volts.

Pros
  • Tablet Accessory
Cons
  • Makes me nervous
