between the Olympus (I have an Olympus E-520) and this battery. Great performance! I have been using mine for over a year now and have had no issues with it.

i almost think the batteries last long than the origanal olympus battery.
having a car charger is nice. seeing mine wayne got this too.

The flexibility of this charger is what Olympus should have included with their E-Volt digital camera, instead of the corded charger they supplied.

This charger works with both 120 VAC with the built in "flip out" outlet plug or 12V DC with the included cigarette lighter plug. A European travel adapter plug (not shown) is also included in this kit.

The 2 OEM BLM-1 Li-Ion batteries charged up just fine. I haven't been able to see what the working time is for these batteries between charges as I'm still learning my way around my E-520 and not shooting it enough to put the batteries through their pace.

The cleaning kit's only function seem to have been to leak out lens cleaning fluid during shipment... it does not add any value to this combo kit, and is the only reason I did not give this kit 5 stars.

I was a little concerned at first that these batteries would be phoney but they seem to work and charge okay.

Good purchase.

I needed a spare battery for my camera as well as a charger to go along with it that i could use while being mobile. This kit more than meets the set requirements. As an added bonus the cleaning kit gets fully used. The second battery has not seen any action yet. Thumbs up for this kit.

The batteries seem to work well. Cleaning kit was no where to be seen. Wasn't expecting much from that anyway, but it was part of the package. I'd still rate this transaction pretty well.

I received these batteries promptly and in the condition advertised. They work well alongside my Olympus BLM-1 batteries. What's great about this kit is the go-anywhere battery charger (comes with a European plug adapter, too). I keep the charger in the car with my car camera, but I use the batteries alternately in my studio camera as well.

The charger itself does not require an A/C cord, as the prongs swing out of the back. It has a separate plug for use in the car.

You get two batteries and a charger for about the price of one Olympus BLM-1 from Olympus. What's not to like?

Oh, but don't buy this just for the cleaning kit. It's worth about fifty cents.

The price was GREAT for 2 batteries. Usually one battery costs more than these 2 together. Always good to have another charger, too. The little cleaning kit was a bonus, I didn't need one, but always good to have an extra.

These items came quickly and were what was stated to be, new & still in package.
