Seems as good as factory [Posted on 2007-12-02] I bought this to serve as a second battery pack for my Olympus E510 digital SLR.
It sems to have the same battery life as the original battery pack that came with my camera and there is no functional difference between it and the original battery.
Don't waste your money [Posted on 2008-03-07] Took pictures at wedding in Maui. Charger said battery was at full charge but when put in camera was completely dead. Tried charging several times but again was totally dead. Relied on this battery and was unable to take pictures at wedding. Many thousands in travel expenses plus disappointed family members. If you purchase don't rely on any reliability.
Works great in my Olympus EVOLT E-510 [Posted on 2008-03-11] This battery is just as good as the original battery that came with my camera..... a reduced cost. It will last for a full day of photo shots. I average 500 - 600 shots per day.
I received the order very promptly and would recommend this item to my photo buddies.

Brand new replacement battery, dead. [Posted on 2008-04-12] Bought two for my Olympus 510, opened it, charged it, My charger was giving me the green light, but when inserted in my camera it wouldn't even turn my camera on.
Follow Up: The second one I bought charged fine, and my camera recognized it with no problem. I will be returning the first one to the manufacturer for replacement.
No difference between Olympus and Digipower BLM-1 [Posted on 2008-10-26] I already used a spare Digipower battery in my Panasonic FZ18, and when I got my new Olympus camera I naturally remembered the brand. I carry three batteries -- two original Olympus and this one --, the logic being: one in the camera, one fully charged spare and one charging. I use all three indiscriminately and see no difference in battery life between the brands, They all last around 800 photos, depending on how long the camera is powered and what energy-draining resources (such as viewing photos in-camera and using Live View) are used. And they all charge well and quickly in the Olympus original charger and in my spare travel charger (Accessory Power, bought in Amazon). So maybe I was lucky, comparing my experience with that of the two users who had problems, but my previous usage of batteries by this brand has shown me they are reliable.
