Hi folks!

Wondering if anybody's found a third party option for the BS-SCL5 M10
battery. It seems likely to be just a repackaging of one of the Lumix
batteries (possibly the BLC12MX). While the Leica Q battery I believe is
merely a rebranding of the Panasonic DMW_BLC12, on the M10 battery it looks
like they've moved the contacts about 3mm so you can't use a panasonic
battery out of the box (though it seems like an excellent opportunity to
use the 3d printer at the library and make a new housing for a battery).
Thoughts or experiences on this?
