This is the first time I have tried this brand and so far I am impressed! The charger is very nice, better than the OEM or another 3rd party version I have. I like the visual cue to charging level on the LCD. The charge time is about the same as OEM. The batteries fit my S5miiX perfectly and are easy to insert and remove. I put one through a stress test last week with about 1200 images shot with CAF enabled. I was still sitting around 75% capacity! No warning notices either, they seem to be fully compatible. I can highly recommend these so far!!
Pros:
Having an extra pair of batteries is quite handy during my extended shoots so that I will never get caught with no power.
Works without any problem with my Panasonic Lumix camera.
I can depend on these batteries to give me all the power I need, so I can be on with taking my shots, rather than making me run out of juice.
It’s so easy to work with this charger; it keeps my batteries always ready for work.
Verdict:
If you happen to have a Panasonic Lumix camera, like mine, this battery and charger set will be a great addition. Having two extra batteries and such a handy charger, I’m protected against running out of power in the most critical moments. Reliable performance and good value make it a must in my camera bag.
The K&F Concept 2-Pack DMW-BLK22 Battery and Charger Set is a must-have for Panasonic Lumix users. Compatible with models like the DC-S5, DC-S5 II, GH5 II, GH6, and more, it provides reliable power for long shooting sessions. With two batteries included, you always have a backup, and the compact charger is perfect for on-the-go use.
The battery life and charging speed are excellent, making it a great choice for both casual and professional photographers. My partner loves it for the convenience and peace of mind it brings during photo shoots, making this set a solid 5-star product.
The K&F Concept DMW-BLK22 battery and charger set arrived neatly packed in a nicely printed box bearing the K&F branding.
In the box you get two 2400mAh DMW-BLK22 batteries, a twin USB charger and a USB A to USB C type charging cable.
The batteries will fit multiple models in the Panasonic Lumix range and are well finished with no rough edges or moulding flash.
The twin charger is also well constructed and features a nice clear LCD screen for information on the state of charge.
The batteries were a good fit in my Lumix GH-5 and showed no signs of slop or of being too tight, with battery life being comparable to the original Panasonic batteries.
A great value set of spare/replacement batteries for the Panasonic Lumix owner.
I don’t have too much to add here, this battery set works like a charm, they’re compatible and I’ve observed no issues over the last few weeks of using it.
Finding reliable batteries that last through extended shooting sessions is always a relief. These batteries have exceeded my expectations, providing ample power for long days of photography without constantly needing to recharge. The dual-slot charger with the LCD screen is incredibly convenient, allowing me to monitor the charging process for both batteries at once. It’s clear that attention to detail has gone into ensuring these batteries are safe and efficient.
I have a few third party batteries and also 2 OEM batteries for my GH5 and my GH5 MK2.
These BLK22 batteries are the ‘new type’ with extra contacts required for the GH6 and GH7 (I’m a micro four thirds user) and I am hoping to get a GH7 soon. SO these batteries can be used across all my MFT Lumix bodies.
The batteries fit in the camera perfectly well and function no different to the OEM batteries – which is exactly what you want. For photography I’m happy to use third party batteries, but I have had issues with third party batteries when the battery is low and the camera fails to record a file. I haven’t had that issue with these batteries, however I’ve not rigorously tested them for that.
The charger is great, it charges 2 at a time and handles my other batteries with no issues. So I absolutely recommend this. For 2 batteries and a good charger this really is excellent value for money, and K&F is a brand I have used for many years (for stands and equipment) so I have trust in the hardware also.
The batteries and the charger works great. No issues with them at all and they worked fine. I like that the charger uses USB C: it’s so easy to bring around with me and saves bulk in my bag.
