About batteries that you can use with this unit
The batteries that can be used with this unit are NCA-YN101H

It has been found that counterfeit battery packs which look very 
similar to the genuine products are made available to purchase 
in some markets. Some of these battery packs are not adequately 
protected with internal protection to meet the requirements of 
appropriate safety standards. There is a possibility that these 
battery packs may lead to fire or explosion. Please be advised 
that we are not liable for any accident or failure occurring as a 
result of use of a counterfeit battery pack. To ensure that safe 
products are used we recommend that a genuine Panasonic 
battery pack is used.
