You may have seen the videos on YouTube showing how to remove rust with an old analog battery charger and some laundry or washing soda. Well old battery chargers are hard to come by and when you do find one, it may not even work. I burnt up one plugging it into a regular 110 socket that someone rewired to 220v for some unknown reason. The only other one I managed to find didn’t power on. There are two solutions to this that I have...

The only thing I have not liked about this camera is the fact that aftermarket batteries...
A while back I was introduced to a product that is what I believe the best bore lube on the market. They also have a bore cleaner that is top notch. Why do I think this is the best? The bore cleaner has a much higher flash point than regular bore lubes. Why does this matter? Well flash point is the temperature where combustion occurs. Most barrel lubes will burn away just after a few shots. But not this stuff, it will stay put shot after shot....

If you are looking for a VW-VBT190 or VW-VBT380 battery for your Panasonic HC-V250k, HC-v550K or HC-V720 then you may be in the same boat i am in. As you may have noticed there are currently no aftermarket batteries for the cameras and the Panasonic batteries are a little pricy. I have tried a few things and explored a few options and I wanted to share a few possible work around for the batteries that you can use till some aftermarket batteries...
