FAQs

Can I charge only one battery at a time?

Yes, the charger is designed to work with one or two batteries independently.

Is the wall adapter included?

No, the kit includes the charger, two batteries, and a USB-C to USB-C cable, but you must provide your own USB-C wall power adapter.

How do I check the battery levels without power?

Simply insert the batteries and press or touch the indicator area on the charger to see the LED lights illuminate.

Will these work with my GH5 original model?

No, these batteries are specifically for the DMW-BLK22 standard, which is compatible with the GH5 II, GH6, GH7, and S-series models listed.

What is the benefit of the decoding chip?

The chip allows the battery to communicate with your Panasonic camera, so you see accurate battery percentage and avoid incompatibility warnings.

Can I use this to charge my camera via USB-C?

No, this device is a dedicated external battery charger, not a power supply for the camera body itself.

Troubleshooting

Batteries not charging

Verify that your power adapter supports at least 22.5W and that the USB-C cable is fully seated in both the adapter and the charger.

LED indicators not lighting up

Try touching the indicator area again or check that the battery is seated correctly in the slot.

Camera showing battery warning

Ensure the battery is fully inserted and the contacts are clean. The decoding chip should handle this, but re-seating the battery usually clears communication errors.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin using your kit, simply insert the DMW-BLK22 batteries into the dual-bay charger until the locking mechanism clicks. Connect the provided USB-C cable to a power adapter capable of at least 22.5W to ensure the fastest charging speeds. This kit is natively compatible with a wide range of Panasonic cameras, including the GH7, GH6, GH5 II, S9, G9 II, S5 IIX, S5 II, and S5.

For maintenance, store the charger and batteries in a dry, cool environment between 0°C and 45°C. Avoid exposing the lithium-ion cells to extreme heat or moisture. Keep the charging pins clean and free of debris to ensure optimal electrical contact, and always use the included battery covers when storing the batteries inside your camera bag to prevent accidental short circuits.
