Re - Lumix Panasonic DE- 994 battery charger ??

With that being said, be advised that leaving the screwdriver on the charger after fully charged may overcharge it and also shorten its battery life. Therefore, it is recommended to unplug the unit from the charger after charging.

I recommend not leaving it on the charger, especially if unattended. Some chargers get pretty hot and in rare cases malfunction and catch fire. Better to be safe than sorry. I keep an extra battery charged in case I need it.

It could be the third party battery charger not working properly or the battery itself is dead. If this is the original battery you may need a new one.

Panasonic DMW-BCG10 Battery

I have the same problem. When I try to charge a battery the green LED onthe charger flashes green and the battery does not charge. Any ideas?

Some Panasonic cameras only work with Panasonic batteries...part of Panasonic's plan to dominate the world! Is your replacement battery an off-brand?

hello there use your USB cable for charging your camera battery. No need to take out the battery from camera. Some Tips.

You may choose our Smart Charger (0.5A,UL listed) for 3.7 V Li-Ion battery Pack to recharge this battery pack. Must charge the battery pack with correct polarity. The estimated charging time is 2.76 hours .

You may connect two 3.6v 920 mah pack in either series or parallel connection for making a higher voltage and higher capacity pack.

Hope you have those staff with your camera. use that for charging. Follow the link.

Thanks, i am waiting for your feed back & if you satisfied then thumps me please.

Hi Dear,

When you place the battery fro charging in the charger, then when the battery is fully charged. The green light indicator will switch off automatically. Usually it takes 170 mins to charge the battery fully.

Please let us know if this solution was helpful to you, or you need more information on this.

Have a nice day.

it sounds like there is dirt, dust or something else in the lens mechanism. I'm assuming you don't want to take the camera to a repair shop. I've had several cameras and this issue comes up periodically.

You can try:

1. using compressed air (with as thin a nozzle as you can find) to blow out the dust,
2. try powering on the camera and zooming the lens at the same time, 3. gently knocking the camera on a hard surface to loosen the lens mechanism,
4. manually forcing the lens to go back in. This can potentially damage the camera, but it's not working now, so you don't have a lot to lose.
5. Googling the camera model to see if you can find instructions on opening the camera up to clean the lens mechanism.

In case new batteries will not solve your problem and since your camera is still under warranty you should ask Panasonice to take care for it !!!!! Good luck!
