    CF-C1 charger / adapter / power supply : https://www.battery-store.eu/laptopacadapter/1061235.htm
    CF-SZ5 charger / adapter / power supply : https://www.battery-store.eu/batteries.php/panasonic-cf-sz5/106121/1061253/250106

    from the pictures they look different but same dimensions ... maybe my CF-C1 charger will work anyway ??

    (just won a 15000jpy yahoo jp auction on a used CF-SZ5 ... I wanted a "cute" CF-R9 but there wasn't any for a reasonable price ... the SZ5 is "less cute" but almost as light, more powerful and they say it can reach 20 hours battery life (!) (and there are plenty of them on japanese yahoo auctions ...) (but mine didn't come with a power adapter ...) )

    wow thank you for the fast response !
    (I will wait for my SZ5 to arrive then ... it may take some time with the "multi steps" trip it will have from the auction seller then to zenmarket in Japan and then to me ...)
