Key Features

The Leica BP-DC12 (and its European-market variant, the BP-DC12-E) is a high-performance lithium-ion rechargeable battery designed specifically for Leica's premium compact cameras.

1. Official Leica Quality and Compatibility

  • Genuine OEM Product: This is the original Leica-manufactured battery, engineered to meet the brand's strict quality and performance standards. It guarantees perfect fit, full functionality, and complete safety with your camera.

  • Primary Compatibility: Designed explicitly for the Leica V-Lux 4 and Leica V-Lux 5.

  • Extended Compatibility: Also fully compatible with the Leica X-U (Typ 113).

  • Important Note on Leica Q (Typ 116): The Leica Q (Typ 116) and Q-P use the Leica BP-DC13 battery. The BP-DC12 is not compatible with the Leica Q. They are different batteries. (Many third-party sellers incorrectly list the BP-DC12 for the Q, causing confusion).

2. High Capacity for Extended Shooting

  • Reliable Power: With a typical capacity of 1250 mAh and a voltage of 3.6V, this battery provides a substantial number of shots per charge, allowing for extended photography sessions without needing to swap power sources.

3. Integrated Intelligent Chip

  • Smart Communication: Features an internal microprocessor that communicates directly with the camera and charger.

  • Accurate Power Monitoring: Provides precise, real-time battery level information on the camera's display.

  • Safety Management: Regulates charge and discharge cycles to protect against overcharging, over-discharging, short-circuiting, and overheating, ensuring both battery and camera safety.

4. Performance in Extreme Conditions

  • Build Quality: Built to the high durability standards of all Leica products.

  • Wide Operating Range: Designed to perform reliably in a variety of environmental conditions, though extreme cold can temporarily reduce battery life as with all Li-ion batteries.

5. Environmental and User Benefits

  • Rechargeable: Can be recharged hundreds of times, making it an economical and environmentally friendly choice compared to disposable batteries.
