Failed after 2 years

The battery lost most of its capacity after 2 years intermittent use. The battery that came with my Olympus OMD is still operating at most of its capacity.
ALso, when the battery failed, it swelled enough that it was almost impossible to extract from the camera. I really hope this was an outlier.

Superb

The batteries fit my OM EM5 II perfectly. They look and feel almost identical to the OEM battery. I do find that these hold a charge better. But they are also brand new vs 8 years old.

Olympus BLN1 and dual charger

Wasabi power BLN1 batteries including the genuine Olympus batteries are charged fast with the dual charger. It is convenient for traveling also.

The package did not arrive in time

Despite 2 days delivery the package arrive only on third day, when I already left the hotel

Good...but...

The only issue is that it will not charge/recognize a good original Olympus BLN-1 battery.
I still have to use my original Olympus (5-contact) charger for that one.
