Panasonic DMW-BG2 Battery Grip for LUMIX S1RII

SKU CH-MCWC-3B29Z

A battery grip that doubles power for the LUMIX S1RII, holds a spare DMW-BLK22 for up to 660 shots, and adds vertical controls with dust and splash resistance

  • Extended shooting with approximately 660 images per charge
  • Hot-swap battery changes without powering down the camera
  • Ergonomic grip with duplicated controls for vertical shooting
  • Dust and splash resistant construction for tough conditions
  • Holds a second battery to double available power

Extended battery grip for LUMIX S1RII

The Panasonic DMW-BG2 attaches to the LUMIX S1RII mirrorless camera to hold a second DMW-BLK22 battery. It doubles the available power for extended shooting sessions and adds a vertical shutter button, joystick and customisable controls that mirror the camera body. The grip is designed for photographers who need longer run times and improved handling in both orientations.

Sustained power with hot-swap capability

Both batteries work simultaneously during power-intensive recording modes, delivering a combined supply that supports approximately 660 images per charge cycle. The hot-swap function lets you replace the grip battery without powering down the camera, so continuous shooting or live streaming is not interrupted. Dust and splash resistance protects the contacts during prolonged outdoor use.

Limits of the proprietary battery system

The grip only accepts Panasonic DMW-BLK22 cells, which are sold separately, so total capacity is fixed to that single battery type. No alternative chemistries or third-party packs are supported, and the hot-swap benefit applies only to the battery seated in the grip. Buyers who need a different voltage standard or universal USB charging cannot use this accessory.

Questions about this item

How much extra heat or noise does the DMW-BG2 add when I shoot all day with two batteries?

The grip itself has no fan or motor, so it adds no audible noise and negligible heat; the only warmth comes from the two DMW-BLK22 batteries working together during extended sessions.

Which battery must I already own for the DMW-BG2 to function?

You need at least one Panasonic DMW-BLK22 battery — the grip holds a second BLK22 and the camera body takes the first; neither is included with the grip.

Will the DMW-BG2 hot-swap and joystick controls work the same on my original LUMIX S1R as they do on the S1RII?

The grip is listed as compatible only with the LUMIX S1II (DC-S1RM2); hot-swap, simultaneous power and the mirrored joystick layout are not confirmed for the earlier S1R body.
