Battery planner

How many batteries do you need?

Set how much you shoot or film in a day – the planner works with the figures from Panasonic for the Lumix GX8.

Photos per day 800 Allow for a reserve – one extra batteryAccording to Panasonic, battery life is shorter with longer intervals between shots (every 2 minutes: approx. a quarter of the shots), with a prolonged wireless LAN connection, when [4K Pre-Burst] is set and when the camera is left switched on.

Guide value

3battery charges

Battery in the camera + 2 spare batteries – for example, the twin pack.

A guide value, not a guarantee: based on approx. 310 shots using the viewfinder per battery charge (CIPA figure from Panasonic for the Lumix GX8, a standardised comparison test) or approx. 60 minutes of video (actual recording in Full HD (AVCHD FHD/17M/50i or MP4 FHD/28M/50p) using the monitor, according to Panasonic). According to Panasonic, the actual runtime depends on the conditions of use; we have not measured these figures with Baxxtar batteries.
