Powerextra 2 Pack High Capacity Battery for Olympus BLN-1, BCN-1 and Olympus OM-D E-M1, Olympus Pen F, OM-D E-M5, Pen E-P5, OM-D E-M5 Mark II

I've had good luck in the past with generic batteries for my camera equipment.Generics don't usually last as long as originals, which is fine, the problem is that these batteries in particular don't charge properly. Everytime I put the batteries in the charger they start to fail after a few minutes and the charger abort light starts flashing. I guess I got lemons.Never had this problem with Watson brand batteries. I should have spent a little extra.Update March 24, 2019So yeah, I received lemons...A few weeks after posting my review I received a message ( don't know if it was from the actual battery maker or just seller ) of apology for having such a bad experience and was offered replacement batteries. Received the new batteries last week or so and have used both of them. The new batteries are good ! I was using them to power my Olympus EP-5 and they lasted just as long as the the original battery that came with my camera (which is 5 years old by now) and charged they properly in my original oem charger.Looks like I was sent defects the first time around. I applaud them for following up and and making everything right. I would give them 5 stars for their professionalism but have to give the actual batteries 4 stars (which I consider pretty good 👍 ).

For the low price, these serve as a little insurance; when the camera's battery reaches the end of its charge, you can use these to get a few more shots. But, they are absolutely not high-capacity. The original Olympus battery (in a Pen F), though only rated at 1220maH, will keep the camera going for a couple or three days, depending on how much I'm shooting. These, supposedly rated at 2000maH, require charging after only a few hours of use. So, it's nice to have them handy for a little peace of mind, but I'll be buying another original Olympus battery for use when I want something I can depend on. I cannot recommend these.

It's on par with an original OEM Olympus battery. They fit my camera OM-D E-M5 and can be charged with original Olympus charger. The capacity is close to the original battery which is 1220mAh, but they are certainly not 2000mAh as advertised. I thought that bringing down the rating for that reason would not be helpful as these batteries are similar to the original ones in every way for a fraction of a cost.

Purchased as spares along with the OEM battery. Are decent batteries for the price point.Excellent customer service. One of the two batteries died after 6 month. I contacted Powerextra and I received the warranty replacement with 5 days. I would purchase again.

...and maybe 2 more just in case. It's great to have plenty of batteries for your camera.These are working out very well and the price is great.

Definitely not a viable replacement for oem batteries. But they’re a decent substitute for when the oem battery is charging, but these will not work for heavy shooting sessions.

I needed extra batteries for a trip, and glad I was able to pick this one, not only they saved me from not having my camera ready but I felt that I was able to take more photos with this battery than with the original that came with the camera.

My used oem Olympus battery last longer than both batteries on this order combined. The power indicator goes from a few bars to low power abruptly. As emergency backups, these are fine but I wouldn't recommend as primary.4 stars because it doesn't perform as advertised (high capacity).
