Comments about BP-DC8 Lithium-Ion Battery for Leica X1 Digital Camera:
Leica X1's battery charge is enough only for about 100 pictures if you shoot in 100% Jpeg+Raw mode. Therefore having an additional battery at hand is crucial. I bought one together with my Leica X1 and this proved to be the right decision.
NB: it takes about 2 hours to have it fully charged.

Comments about BP-DC8 Lithium-Ion Battery for Leica X1 Digital Camera:
I expect to be some time without electrical power so I need a supply of back-up batteries for my X1. There are cheaper batteries, but I do not dare put one in my Leica!

Comments about BP-DC8 Lithium-Ion Battery for Leica X1 Digital Camera:
An essential accessory for the x1, whose battery performance -- especially when shooting DNG + JPEG -- is decidedly compromised.

Comments about BP-DC8 Lithium-Ion Battery for Leica X1 Digital Camera:
The length of battery power in an X1 is only about 200-250 photos. It takes over 2 hours to charge this battery. If you're going to use an X1 while traveling or for a long period "in the field", you've got to get an extra battery.
