Excellent Battery
No complaints about the battery - works as advertised. I haven't been able to tell the difference between this battery and the Olympus battery.
no life battery
purchased this battery and used it for approximately 20 photos and one 30 second video and then it died. I would never recommend this battery.

This review is from: Maximalpower DB OLY LI40B/42B Rechargeable Li-Ion Battery for Olympus Li-40B,Li-42B, Kodak KLIC7006,FUJI NP45, Nikon EN-EL10,Pentax D-Li63 (Electronics)
I bought this to have an spare battery for my Olympus Stylus 550WP camera. It is a direct replacement for the LI-40B & LI-42B batteries specified for my camera (and numerous other Olympus, Nikon, and Canon models, other devices).
*Higher capacity and life than than the standard battery that came with my camera (1000 mah, vs. 710 for the original battery). In actual use lasts almost twice as long as the stock battery, despite being just 40% more capacity. I get another 35-40 flash shots, at least, with the Maximal than with the Olympus (and the camera and its original battery are only 6 months old, less than 50 charging cycles used), and proportionally more non-flash. Have not tested using VGA video/audio recording in my camera.
*Recharge time is significantly longer given higher capacity (3+ hours for the 1000 mah Maximal vs. 2 hours for the 710 mah stock, in LI-41C charger). I just today recharged it for a fourth time since purchase: the time from flat to full seems to have shortened by over 30 minutes, about 2.5 hrs. now (if you didn't know, most rechargeables [Li-ion, NiMH, and NiCad] show this "break-in"period; capacity has also increased by a small amount).
*Battery came in easy open packaging (noted in another poster's photo), and was nearly at full charge. I will update in 6 to 12 months to comment on longevity & the number of charge cycles the battery will do, but I fully expect it to be typical of Li-ion, around 350.
The verdict: a good quality replacement/spare for the LI-40B/42B batteries, with a bit more capacity. Very good value at my price, which was $5.63. There are cheaper deals for LI-40/42 replacements on Amazon at the moment, but I would recommend this as a good trade off between price, performance, and safety (some cheap Li-ion batteries overheat, burst, or even catch fire; been there, done that).

I was scared by the bargain price of the batteries so I bought 2, to make sure I was covered for battery life. I got them and charged them 2 weeks before christmas. It's January 31 today and the first battery is still at half life in a 10 MP camera. Do not hesitate to purchase this battery.

This battery has more charge than the original supplied with the camera. Worked fine after initial charging.

For the price, and what you get.. This is a great deal. Its a generic battery but about 10 times cheaper then the name brand, and I have had no issues at all with it.

Bought this as a backup battery for my Olympus FE-4000. It was a great price and it works well. I haven't fully tested it as far as how long a charge will last but it lasts as long, if not longer than the original. I gave it 4 stars for the value and becuase it works as expected. If it last a while, it will be upgraded to 5 stars. Very happy that I purchased it and I would recommmend it.

I was unsure about this off-brand battery, but decided to give it a shot at the low price. Good decision! This battery holds charge as long as my original Olympus brand one, charges just as fast, and it is indestructible. It does not look like much, but I lost it at my friend's farm in Michigan in the middle of winter. My battery was white, not black as pictured, so it was very hard to find in the snow. I gave up looking, but it was no huge loss given the price. Lo and behold, we returned in the spring after the thaw, I find the battery sitting in the wet grass, wipe it dry, pop it into my camera and proceed to shoot all day long! It survived a Michigan winter, spring thaw, held its charge, and still works great today.
