SmallRig 5492 Camera Battery Charger for DMW-BLK22

SmallRig 5492 Camera Battery Charger for DMW-BLK22 – Dual-Slot USB-C Fast Charging

The SmallRig 5492 charger guarantees full compatibility with Panasonic DMW-BLK22 batteries and charges both original and third-party batteries. Its dual-slot design lets you charge two batteries simultaneously or a single battery when needed. For efficient workflow, the charger can fully charge two batteries in approximately 2 hours.

Key features and charging behavior

• Dual-slot design for charging two DMW-BLK22 batteries at once or one at a time.
• Five LED indicators per channel show power levels in 20% increments, and they function even without external power connected.
• A red warning light illuminates when battery levels are critically low, giving quick visual feedback.
• Includes a universal USB-C input and a fast-charging cable, enabling use with wall adapters, car chargers, and power banks for flexible charging options.
• Recommended to use a power adapter with 22.5W or higher output for standard operation.

Intelligent safety and charging management

The charger integrates intelligent circuitry with multiple safety protections. It continuously monitors temperature and voltage, and it responds accordingly:

• Slows down charging automatically if the device detects overheating.
• Cuts off power in case of overvoltage to protect the batteries.
• Switches to trickle charging near full capacity to preserve battery health.

Behavior with lower-output adapters

Note how the charger behaves with lower-power adapters so you can plan charging on the go:

• It is not compatible with 5V / 1A power adapters.
• When using a 5V / 2.4A adapter, the charger operates in slow-charge mode. In this mode, it prioritizes charging the battery in Channel 1 first and switches automatically to Channel 2 once Channel 1 is fully charged.

FAQ

Question: Is this charger fully compatible with Panasonic DMW-BLK22 batteries?
Answer: Yes. The SmallRig 5492 guarantees full compatibility with Panasonic DMW-BLK22 batteries and can charge both original (OEM) and third-party batteries.

Question: How long does it take to charge batteries?
Answer: The charger can fully charge two batteries in approximately 2 hours. Single-battery charging is supported, and actual charge time for one battery will depend on the power adapter’s output.

Question: Can I use a power bank or car charger to power the SmallRig 5492?
Answer: Yes. The charger has a universal USB-C input and comes with a fast-charging cable, making it compatible with wall adapters, car chargers, and power banks. For recommended performance, use a power adapter with 22.5W or higher output.

Question: What happens if I use a low-power adapter?
Answer: The charger is not compatible with 5V / 1A adapters. With a 5V / 2.4A adapter, it will operate in slow-charge mode, charging Channel 1 first and switching to Channel 2 automatically after Channel 1 is full.

Question: How does the charger protect my batteries?
Answer: The charger uses intelligent circuitry to monitor temperature and voltage. It slows charging during overheating, cuts off power on overvoltage, and uses trickle charging when batteries approach full capacity to help preserve battery health.

Question: What do the LED indicators show?
Answer: Each charging channel has five LED indicators that display battery power level in 20% increments. These LEDs will display the battery level even when no external power source is connected. A red warning light indicates critically low battery levels.
