BM PremiumFully Decoded BL-H1 Battery for Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II, OM-D E-M1 Mark III, OM-D E-M1X, BCH-1, HLD-9 Cameras

I’ve read a lot about how third party batteries do not work well with an OM-D EM-1 MKII, but this battery works very nicely.There were no warning messages, the battery meter displayed properly in camera, and I was able to record video for 1 hour and 47 minutes before the battery died.Power2000 seems to be owned by BM Premium and I’ve had good experiences with them. This battery is no different. I fell it’s a fantastic alternative to the OEM battery, at half the cost.

The battery works well, seems to have the same performance characteristics as the original manufacturer battery for significantly less than the cost of the original manufacturer battery.

This was an extra battery for a 3-week trip to Colombia with heavy camera usage. The first one that arrived was damaged, so they sent me another just in time before the trip, which was nice. But I noticed while on my trip that the battery never truly registered as full, no matter how long it was charged - always at 82% and then drained quickly - MUCH faster than my other 2 OEM batteries. I'd estimate that from the "missing" 18% plus the quick drain, you're probably looking at maybe 40-50% usable charge versus an OEM battery.Yeah, so look elsewhere.

Unfortunately got an error reading when using W Olympus charger. Since OEM was BO.
