SMALLRIG DMW-BLK22 22.5W USB-C charger
Product description
This dual-slot camera charger from SmallRig shortens downtime and keeps Lumix batteries ready for long shoots. It is designed for Panasonic Lumix DMW-BLK22 cells and supports models such as the GH5, GH6, GH7 and S5 series, offering rapid replenishment when you need it. If you often swap batteries on location, the 2-hour full recharge claim from the manufacturer can make a tangible difference to workflow.
Key points
The charger accepts a USB-C input and comes with a fast charging cable, so you can use wall adapters, car chargers or portable power banks, which is handy on the move. Each slot has five LED indicators that show charge in 20% steps, plus a red warning lamp for critically low cells. The semi-enclosed tray helps prevent batteries from slipping and reduces the risk of scratches during handling.

What stands out
There are built-in safety measures to protect your batteries, including over-temperature and over-voltage detection. When heat is detected the charger reduces speed, and it switches to trickle charging as a cell nears full capacity to help preserve battery health. Ten en cuenta que charging times may vary slightly depending on battery age and the power source used.
Who it’s for
It suits you if you shoot frequently and need a compact way to recharge two DMW-BLK22 batteries without carrying multiple single chargers, or if you travel and rely on USB-C power banks. It’s not for you if you require an AC-only solution with proprietary plugs, or if you use battery types other than DMW-BLK22, since compatibility is limited to that reference.
