The DMW-BLK22 covers 7 bodies, from the Lumix S5 to the Lumix GH7; the most common buying mistake is not capacity but boundary cases such as S1 / S1R / S1H → DMW-BLJ31 / GH5 / GH5S → DMW-BLF19. The table below lists every compatible body by series, followed by the models that take a different cell. Always trust the marking on the camera or in the battery compartment: similar-looking packs are not necessarily interchangeable, and DMW-BLK22 should still be checked against the contacts and firmware of your body.
By CIPA standard the S5 II delivers about 370 shots per charge (4K 60p 90 min). Real-world figures fall with viewfinder use, bursts, flash and low temperature, so budgeting around 70% of the rating is safer.
Full compatibility list
All 7 bodies below accept the DMW-BLK22 or a cell from the same family, grouped by series. “Compatible” means the compartment and contacts match; it does not guarantee that older bodies can exploit the full capacity of a high-capacity pack.
| Body | Body | Body | Body |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lumix S5 | Lumix S5 II | Lumix S5 IIX | Lumix G9 II |
| Lumix GH5 II | Lumix GH6 | Lumix GH7 |
Which models do not fit
This is where search results most often mislead. Packs with similar names and near-identical shells frequently belong to entirely different systems, and forcing one in can damage the compartment.

How to check before ordering
The reliable check is the model printed on the bottom of the body or inside the battery compartment, matched against this list. On a used camera, also confirm that a previous owner has not swapped the battery door.
To pick by model, start with the specifications and stock status on Panasonic DMW-BLK22 2520mAh, then browse the full article set in DMW-BLK22; if your body belongs to a neighbouring system, BCX204 has the side-by-side explanation.
FAQ
How many bodies take the DMW-BLK22?
Our list contains 7 bodies, from the Lumix S5 to the Lumix GH7. It is grouped by series, but still check the body marking, since a later generation in the same line can switch cells.
Is the DMW-BLK22 interchangeable with neighbouring models?
DMW-BLK22 shares one shell and contact layout, so those cells fit each other. However, S1 / S1R / S1H → DMW-BLJ31 / GH5 / GH5S → DMW-BLF19, and those bodies need their own cell — never judge by shape alone.
Will every body on the list benefit from higher capacity?
All of them run normally, but older bodies set their cutoff and fuel gauge to the original specification, so extra shots do not scale linearly and the percentage may read conservatively.
How do I confirm which cell to buy?
Read the model on the bottom plate or inside the battery compartment and match it against this list. If the marking includes a suffix or a “for use with” note, follow the manual rather than the capacity figure.
