    I'm a sports photographer for a company of weekly newspapers where I cover high school sports at four different area high schools.

    Quality is superb. I haven't had to charge it yet since the initial charge. So far it's lasted through four basketball games.

    The battery itself is great. The only problem it did not come with a plastic protector for the connection end of the battery. This should be included with every battery!!

          Although I haven't had much opportunity to use it yet, the battery charged up faster than the original and the lower price permits the purchase of two instead of one original, so, I'll rarely be without power for my camera on an extended photo shoot.

              Bought this as a second battery for my Olympus E-30, am surprise by it as it last just as long and at 1/3 of the price as the original battery that came with my camera.

                Does exactly what it says it does - though I have only used it "in the field" once so far.

                I doubt I will have any issues - lithium batteries are fairly standard tech so I am very pleased with the purchase.

                  I was concerned with this battery because it is not an Olympus battery, but it works great.

                    Works just as well and seems to last just as long as the original Olympus product. If you need back-up juice, this is what you want!

                      Good alternative for my Olympus E-510. I used it for a while and I would rate it as good or even better than my orginal battery that came with the camera.
