Delkin M8/9 Charger Plates, Any good?, Where to Buy?

[B-9]

Hey everyone,

Im still looking for a charger alternative for my new M8,

I read that Delkin has/does offer the plate adapter for their universal chargers. Has anyone used these?

It would be nice, as they sell a universal dual charger base, and I already have an older single for my Sony V1.

Ive searched ebay and amazon to no avail, can anyone point me to a place that has these in stock to order?

(P.S. I do not have the Original M8 charger)

An M9 charger will work fine.

an M9 charger is 144$, so not really within my reach right now.

I was in the same situation as you, but didn't know about other options.
I ended up getting the newer M9 charger, it's a lot smaller than the M8 charger.

I wonder where the M8 brick charger graveyard is! I would use one, I don't care about the size, just getting a charged battery in my camera.

Guess im stuck ordering from China 🙁

Ha, not sure.
Mine just stopped working.
If it's plugged in the power light no longer comes on and when a battery is put on the charger again no lights and no charge.
Unfortunately I don't think it's a serviceable part.

I just ordered a set of 2x 1800mAh batteries and a Generic wall charger. Im going to order another charger also, ill try to hack them together and make a dual charger. Total cost so far: 34.77$ Including ePost. That's 1/3rd the cost of a used Leica battery alone.

Ill report back how they treat me I suppose. Still looking for those darn Delkin plates!
That would be so much easier haha
