Charge Your Leica Camera Batteries on the Go // Nitecore USB Chargers Review 

I'd direct you to my in-depth review of the Leica S007, and the supplemental trip report. www.reddotforum.com/content/2015/09/leica-s-typ-007-review/ www.reddotforum.com/content/2015/09/my-photographic-adventure-through-iceland-with-the-leica-s-typ007/ I took the camera on a 10 day trip around Iceland and used every single S lens (except the 30-90). Should give you a reasonable idea. Bottom line is this - there are no bad S lenses. They really are incredible across the range.

Hi, David. I've now got the NiteCore chargers from you for the CL and the SL, and the dual M10 which I ordered directly from NiteCore a few weeks before you started to offer it. To get the most out of the Nitecores, I find you need to watch two things. Some little phone bricks (and the USB socket on most laptops) don't put out enough current for the Nitecore to work at full speed. You'll see that the charging current gets stuck at about 300 mA. The Apple iPad charger that you show in the video does better than that, and the 3 amp two or three output USB chargers (about $10) that are available from any hardware store or BestBuy are even better. I don't have something like your 6 AH battery reserve store, but that sounds like a great idea. The second thing is that NiteCore charges fast when you start with the battery, say, half discharged, and stops (for safety reasons) before you reach 100%. With cameras like the SL and CL, that only have four bar or five bar meters, you would never know that. But the M10 family have a really accurate meter and they tend to say things like 80% when NiteCore stops. The solution is to charge til it stops, take the battery out, put it back and let it finish. That takes another 5-15 minutes, and gives me 100%. The voltage, current and total charge delivered (in AmpHrs) seem to be pretty accurate, and can give you a better idea of how much power is getting used up when you operate with live view or wifi (Fotos) running. Altogether, a big step ahead. Thanks for alerting me to them.

Yes - similar to my experiences.

Currently, only the dual charger is available. As I mentioned in the video, I'd really like to have the option of a compact single charger for the M10.

@@RedDotForum Very disappointed in that decision.

The bag is an ONA Bowery in Antique Cognac leather. Here's a link: leicastoremiami.com/products/ona-bowery-camera-bag-antique-cognac

a trick : watch series at Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching all kinds of movies recently.

@Ronnie Terry yea, I have been using Flixzone} for years myself =)

It will depend on the capacity of the battery pack. The one I use in the video is a 6700mAh model. The M9 battery has a capacity of 1800mAh and the M10 battery is rated for 1100mAh. You can figure out the amount of charges by dividing the capacity of the charger by the capacity of the camera battery. So, you'd be able to charge an M10 battery 6 times. Less for the higher rated M9 battery.If you step up to a 10,500mAh pack, you would gain extra charge cycles at the expense of a little more weight.

@@RedDotForum Thanks. That's really helpful
