BJ-11 Battery Charger

Ricoh BJ-11 Battery Charger — USB-C Flexibility for GR III Travelers

The gist: A compact, USB-C dedicated charger for the Ricoh DB-110 battery — designed for the GR III, GR IIIx, and WG-6 — that charges from any USB-C source, including the power banks that travel photographers already carry.

• USB-C powers from any source: Plugs into any USB-C adapter, laptop port, or power bank — no proprietary wall adapter required, which matters when you’re cycling through different countries with different plug standards.
• ~2.5 hour full charge: An empty DB-110 reaches full capacity in approximately 2.5 hours — fast enough for an overnight charge or a midday top-up at a coworking space.
• LED charge status indicator: Shows charging progress at a glance — useful when charging via a power bank in a bag and you need to confirm the battery is actually receiving power.
• Compact and lightweight for travel: The BJ-11’s small form factor fits easily in a camera bag side pocket — appropriate for the GR III, a camera specifically chosen for its travel-friendly compact size.

Ricoh’s official BJ-11 product page confirms USB-C compatibility with the DB-110 battery, noting the approximately 2.5-hour charge time and compatibility with the GR III, GR IIIx, GR III HDF, and GR IIIx HDF camera bodies.

Best for: Ricoh GR III or GR IIIx owners who want a compact external charger they can use with any USB-C power source while traveling. Skip it if: You own a GR IV — the GR IV uses the DB-120 battery, which requires the BJ-12 charger instead. Runs ~$27 — check the current price before buying.
