Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)We wanted an extra battery for our Olympus 770SW because we were going on an Alaskan cruise. Authentic Olympus batteries were about $30 each, so I decided to check out the off-brand replacement batteries. This battery recieved mostly good reviews; the only drawback was that it didn't last as long as a real Olympus battery, so I decided I better get 2 of them. I thought $5 shipping for each battery was ridiculous when both came together in a padded envelope that cost less than $2 to ship, but at about $17 for 2 batteries (including shipping) still considered it a good deal compared to $30 for an Olympus. I was wrong. My Olympus battery charger (that came with the camera) didn't want to charge them-it kept shutting off and I would have to take the battery out and re-insert it every 10 minutes or so (NEVER has this problem with the Olympus battery). When finally charged, the 2 batteries together lasted about half as long as the original Olympus battery that came with the camera. So it would have taken 4 of these batteries (at a total cost of $34) to equal 1 Olympus battery. In the end I wish I had just bought another Olympus battery-it would have saved a lot of time and trouble, and been more convenient. If you just want an extra battery to put in your camera while your original Olympus battery is charging, this is probably a decent battery for you. However, if you plan on taking a lot of pictures or having your camera on for extended periods of time, spend the extra money and buy a real Olympus battery. I wish I had.
