Genuine Olympus BLH-1 battery at a low price (at the time of purchase), and qualified for Amazon Prime next day delivery.I always find that off-brand "compatible" versions never last anything like as long between charges, even when they claim to hold more charge, and also suffer a marked fall-off in performance very quickly. They also often won't report the battery charge level in the camera viewfinder and often won't work in the genuine camera manufacturer's own charger.So do the math: carry two of these around to guarantee a day's full shooting (although I've yet to need the second battery despite hundreds of shots a day) and know they'll continue to work well for what can be years,

I've used third-party batteries on my other cameras, mostly successfully, but I didn't want to skimp for my Olympus E-M1 II. This is a big, beefy battery that needs to last a long time, just like the original. It also needs to interact with the camera to properly report the percentage remaining (or recording time remaining in video mode) and I'm not sure third-party batteries do that. It' s not cheap, but it should be worth it in the long run. Comes with a plastic case to prevent shorting while in your bag or pocket.

Charges quickly and seems to last longer than the battery for the older cameras. Pricing excessive though. The cheaper alternatives are not fully chipped and may have less power so I decided to stick with the premium Oly battery and grin and bear the price. I can manage with two for most day's shooting - and can charge up the battery on a longer lunch break.

This was bought for my Olympus OM-D EM-1. It seems to work in that camera, holding charge for a long time, and feeling generally solid. It doesn't take too long to charge either.The disadvantage is it's a little pricey, but from what I can tell, it's an Olympus branded battery, which are more durable than off brand batteries.

With the E-M1 II it is worth only buying the original Olympus batteries. While the price hurts compared to cheap clones, it is a much better product and came with a security case making carrying the second battery much safer (covering the contacts) and complying with air travel requirements.

Great OEM battery. A little on the expensive side, but works perfectly as expected. Some cheaper options available that work pretty much exactly the same in terms of life per charge. If you like to play it safe and stick with OEM batteries you can't go wrong with this.

The battery is fine and durable, but as most things that have just been released its expensive, no doubt there will be other manufacturers making at a cheaper price within a year or so.The battery is a spare for my Olympus OMD EM1 mk2 so to me its a necessity

I did consider going for much cheaper 3rd party battery packs, however these don't have the status communication with the camera this "official" Olympus battery has.It is annoying that the camera manufacturers charge a hefty premium hence only 4 stars.

Nothing to say. Works beautifully and totally as expected. Will easily handle a shoot of 200 shots in RAW format and recharges quickly. Haven't timed it exactly but I'd guess a couple of hours for a fun recharge. Expensive, but you get real quality.

Cheaper copy versions are available, but given the price of the camera, I took the decision to pay a few more pounds for the OEM battery with guaranteed connectivity and possibly better life. Battery delivered promptly and works well

I decided a branded battery would work better and last longer on a mirrorless camera that is battery hungry! I would expect it to work well and last a day even with all the in camera stacking shots and so far its doing ok.

Compared to a known genuine Olympus battery this looks to be the real deal - there are many fakes about. I have no issues with my battery so far, and thus give both the battery and the seller a well earned 5 Stars.

I often wonder why people will spend thousands of pounds on camera equipment then jeopardise their hobby with a cheap third-party battery. Very happy to have the original Olympus in my OM-D Em1 mkii

As usual the original Olympus items are best, I try to always buy Olympus Parts for my Olympus Items.They just always work when turned on.

Yes, I know it is an Olympus battery, I have looked at third party batteries, so why is the Olympus battery such a high price?
