I don’t know why people are claiming to have problems getting the gray latch to secure the battery in place in the Olympus E-P1. The battery not only looks and feels exactly like the OEM battery, but it fits perfectly in the battery compartment. I’m looking at it right now. Fits just fine. So don’t let those few reviews keep you from getting this as a backup battery for your E-P1. I have two of these and I’m pleased as punch.

As to the life of the battery, they come with almost a full charge. About 30 mins on the Olympus BCS-1 battery charger and they were good to go. They seem to last a little bit longer, too. The label on the OEM says 1080 MAH, but these replacements are rated at 1800 MAH, so you’re getting even more juice (more MAH = longer lasting).

My final verdict? Don’t waste the extra cash on the Olympus brand batteries. These are not only cheaper, but they are almost certainly better. Buy them.
