Hcam sells the Dolgin Program in Germany/Europe.
for use of the Leaf batteries (Samsung SB-L160 type) with small capacities, you will need to order  with reduced charging capabilities
as the quick charge will overheat the small (up to 3000mAh) batteries.
If you use a larger (4200mAh and up battery), you can use the quickcharge option.

for direct US contact write to Alex Dolgin (Dolgin Engineering) <info@dolgin.net>

Hi Jerry,

See the one at the top of the list on this page (http://www.mamiyaleaf.com/products_accessories.asp). It can be ordered through any Mamiya Leaf dealer and it uses the same power supply that came with your single charger. The LCD display shows the charge status in %, also when it is not connected to the mains

Hope this helps

YAYA,

The Mamiya site listed two two chargers which featured the capacity to charge two LEAF batteries simultaneously; one was designed with the charging wells situated side by side, the other looked like the wells were one below the other.

I think that side by side may have the benefit of being able to later accept batteries with greater capacity, that are deeper.  Which is to be preferred?

Hi Jerry, if you follow the link I've posted and click on the "Leaf Aptus-II" tab (see attached screen grab) you will see the only dual charger that we sell. It takes any size battery and has a replaceable insert for other videocam batteries (e.g. Cred/ IQ).
It also comes with a car 12V plug+cable

Thank you.  I have contacted my dealer, who has confirmed that they are able to obtain the two well charger.  Thank you for your timely, clarifying replies.
