Last year we purchased 2 Dolgin Turbo chargers, So far we have gone through 10 Panasonic batteries. It seems within 3-4 months we loose 50% of the power in the batteries.
Anybody have similar problems, recommendations?

I don't have the "Turbo" charger so I can't comment on it. But, I do have the
Dolgin Dual Battery Charger. I've used it for almost a year now and have had
no problems what so ever.
Have you contacted Dolgin Electronics about this?

Not yet, we are not sure if it is the batteries or the charger. I was trying to see if there was any pattern with other users.

Have you considered the Anton Bauer solution? Dionic 90 and Gold Mount that are carried in a pouch that you can attach to your belt. The power adapter, which weights considerably less than the Panasonic battery, fits into the camera's battery compartment and the Camera's LCD display reads the remaining charge. I have been using it with my 170 and it works like a dream and lasts much longer than the Panasonic battery. I can take the same battery and snap it onto the back of my Hpx 300 and, unless I am shooting with both cams I only need one battery and charger and the battery has a considerable life span.

I've had a Dolgin turbo 400 for a couple of years. No problems at all with it.

Thanks for the suggestion Ron , we have the AB adapters already. We still want to be able to use the smaller batteries as well.
