I use my Olympus E 410 and I'm up to 1000 photos in RAW without using the built-in flash and LCD screen, and his burden is fast.

Comments about Olympus PS-BLS1 Lithium Ion Rechargeable Battery:
I purchased this battery as a backup for my Olympus Pen 2.
I'm a believer in remaining with camera batteries that are brand specific. There are generic batteries available but too many customer reviews have expressed dissatisfaction with their performance, regardless of camera brand. Having a battery not perform during an extended trip could certainly dampen a photo enthusiast's enjoyment of his or her journey.

Comments about Olympus PS-BLS1 Lithium Ion Rechargeable Battery:
It takes about 3.5 hours to fully recharge, however it has good longevity. Very easy to install in camera and definitely much better quality than non-Olympus brand batteries that are available for the Olympus E-620

Comments about Olympus PS-BLS1 Lithium Ion Rechargeable Battery:
I needed a backup battery for longer sessions and first ordered an "off brand" from [...]. Even after the first charge, it lasted for 10 minutes. Total. Complete waste of money. Wish I would have gone with the correct Olympus battery the first time. These are great batteries, long-lasting.

Comments about Olympus PS-BLS1 Lithium Ion Rechargeable Battery:
Original batteries tend to be more reliable in the long term than the third party batteries so I like to stick with the originals even with the inflated price.
There isn't much to say, it is a battery and it works the exact same as the battery your camera came with. You are probably a photo enthusiast so you need a spare battery and this one makes the most sense.
4 stars because it is still expensive and a little slow to charge.

Comments about Olympus PS-BLS1 Lithium Ion Rechargeable Battery:
If you are a photo enthusiast (which you are, because you own a micro 4/3's camera) you need a spare battery. This is that battery.
I like to stick to original brand batteries as they tend to be more reliable in my experience (your experience may vary! i said MY experience!)

Comments about Olympus PS-BLS1 Lithium Ion Rechargeable Battery:
Having purchased many batteries of all types and doing mounds of research, I came to the conclusion, it pays to get brand name batteries. Especially when you are using them for an expensive DSLR camera. Camera manufacturer's won't warranty your camera, with an off brand battery. It's also been my experience, many off brands don't last as long, have higher rates of problems, and just aren't worth chancing on an expensive piece of electronic equipment. Get the brand name, along with the guarantee, and end your worries.
