DMC TZ1 Original Charger

Here is an original Panasonic Lumix DMC TZ1 original charger. They do come up for sale on websites like eBay etc. But usually they are sold with the camera. Not all the time though. The model number will vary depending on what country the charger was made for - UK, USA, Canada, Asia etc. Mine is the DE-A26 and was, I believe, intended for the Asian market. However, I am using it in the UK no problem with the help of a 2-pin to 3-pin mains plug adapter. Works well.

The original charger works a bit differently to the aftermarket replacement models. The original battery charge status is as follows. Green light = charging, flashing green light means there's an error [remove battery] and from solid green to no light shown / light off = fully charged.

With the replacements I believe it is red for charging, flashing red for an error, and green for fully charged. There are lots of replacements for sale, but I would recommend the one being sold by BM Premium. It has good reviews and comes with two batteries. Also, it is confirmed to work with the Lumix TZ1.
