There are quite a few Panasonic Lumix DMC TZ1 battery charger replacements out there to choose from. Your chances of finding an original Panasonic branded charger for this camera these days are fairly low and long winded compared to just buying a different brand, none original replacement charger that will probably be at your door within a few days to a week. And will work just fine. You could always look on eBay to try and find an original charger. They do come up for sale. Or, you could also look on eBay for someone selling the camera itself + accessories, which could potentially come with an original charger. Could take a while though. And, do you really want or need another TZ1 camera, or strictly just the charger.
If you want one right now and don't care about it being genuine Panasonic, as long as it does the job, there are quite a few options. However, I will only recommend the one that is 100% confirmed to work with the TZ1, as some chargers say they do but from reading the reviews they actually didn't work with this model. The one pictured above [from BM Premium] also comes with 2 lithium Ion batteries and is compatible with car charging and has the choice of either USA or European style plug mains / wall charging.
UK buyers will need a Euro to UK 3-pin adapter plug for this charger to be compatible. They are very cheap. This one is also available in Canada. The package also comes with a 12 month warranty. This one is confirmed to work with the TZ1. Someone reviewed this bundle and stated that it brought their old TZ1 camera back to life. Red light equals charging, green light fully charged. Also said to work with the DMC-TZ3, TZ4, TZ5, TZ11.TZ15 and TZ50. Don't buy a new camera, keep the TZ1 going. It's a great camera.
