Reliable battery, but pricey
I have purchased third party batteries in the past due to their affordability, but I have found that the Olympus batteries are more reliable, even used ones. 4 stars for the high cost of Olympus brand battery(and other branded batteries).

Thankful for this purchase.
Ordered this rechargeable battery at the same time I ordered my camera not realizing a battery would also be included with camera. After reading some recommendations found out it is better to have 2 batteries when out in the field as you never know exacting how quickly one battery may need to be recharged.

Buy Only Olympus Original Equipment Batteries
I bought two extra batteries to accompany my new Olympus M5 MkIII. The reviews of this new camera model were critical of the battery life saying it was not improved, or even a little worse than the battery used in the M5 MkII, which I shot with for 5 years. I'd say the reviews are right. Olympus should have kept the same battery. They didn't because it was larger than this one.
With my M5 MkII, I encountered a bad problem with non-Olympus batteries (Watson-brand in particular) once they got older. So, it's not that this battery is bad, it's that Olympus should have devoted more design energy to a small and longer life battery.

It's a good battery.
I bought this as a second battery for my OM-D E-M10 Mark III. So far I haven't needed to use a second battery on my street shoots, as I get enough shots out of a single battery charge over the course of a day. That demonstrates the value of this battery, since my primary one is the same model.
Pros: lasts a long time; fairly quick to charge
Cons: doesn't power my portable waffle maker*; not the most inspiring color**
* Note: Actually I don't own a portable waffle maker.
** Note: Since the battery's mostly hidden inside my camera (or, by analogy, inside yours), I don't care about its color.

Upgrade battery
The new battery for my pen E-PL5 is a more powerful battery for my older camera. Happy with the purchase and good service from Adorama.

It is cumbersome,
It is cumbersome, heavy has a cord difficult to store and pack for travel compared to other rechargables.

A trusted battery
The battery does what it needs to do, and you can trust that it will not swell in your camera like alternative brands. It charges reasonably fast and last a long time in standby and through many pictures.
I was using it on a road trip over four days - hundreds of pictures, some video, reviewing, and leaving it on sleep mode - and I didn't see the battery low until I was home and the battery was already being used lightly before the trip.
I bought the battery as an extra to switch out but it did well on its own.

Doe$ the job
In years past, I've used combinations of manufacturer batteries (like this one) and aftermarket types. I haven't had any issues. However, when looking at the available aftermarket batteries and chargers for these, it looks like the aftermarket folks simply chose to ignore the extra safety features that Oly insisted go into this battery type, and continue to utilize 2-pin chargers even for these 4-contact batteries. Much as I hate to pay Oly's price for this battery, I won't be buying another brand until the other guys up their engineering game and match Oly's features.
