Maybe they don't last quite as long, but I have several and rotate all day if necessary. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exact fit for the Olympus OM-1 Mark II *by D***S on June 18, 2025* Exact match for my Olympus camera. Capacity is a bit less than the official battery. ### ⭐⭐ You Get What You Pay For! *by T***R on June 28, 2022* Certainly cheaper than the Olympus-branded version, but mine will not charge in the camera, rendering it effectively useless. When I took the battery out of the very minimal packaging, the charge level in-camera showed 73%. After having charged the camera all morning via the USB adapter, the charge level remains at 73%. I'll try to use the camera with this battery over the weekend, but thus far, I'm unimpressed. I should have spent the money for the Olympus version instead. ## Frequently Bought Together - Wasabi Power Battery for Olympus BLX-1 and Olympus OM System OM-1 and OM-1 Mark ii - Wasabi Power Dual USB Battery Charger for Olympus BLX-1 and Olympus OM System OM-1 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/446716814-battery-for-olympus-blx-1-and-olympus-om-system-om](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/446716814-battery-for-olympus-blx-1-and-olympus-om-system-om) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
