Happy. - Most of the time I buy the OEM batteries for expensive cameras. Big advantage of this unit is the built in USB-C port. It adds so much flexibility for power in the field. So far it seems to last quite a while and you can use a charger or just a USB-C plug to charge. Really nice always having a fresh batter to deploy. Very happy. Review: Cost effective but not equal to OEM. - Cost effective for a backup. Does not last as long as OEM (maybe 80%) and battery shot count does not always reset. ## Features - COMPATIBILITY - Works with Olympus cameras that use the BLX-1 battery including the OM SYSTEM OM-1, OM-1 MARK II, and OM-3 - BATTERY SPECS - Premium Grade-A cells rated at 7.2V, 2400mAh for longer run-time and battery life - USABILITY - This battery can be charged with just a USB-C cable, but CANNOT be charged with the Olympus original BCX-1 charger; Batteries can be charged in the camera or with a Wasabi Power charger - INCLUDES – 1 battery for the Olympus BLX-1 and 1 USB-C Cable - USA WARRANTY - All items include a 3-year manufacturer warranty from Wasabi Power and 100% US based customer support in Pomona, California ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0CHT7V292 | | Batteries | 1 Nonstandard Battery batteries required.

Happy. *by J***C on July 7, 2025* Most of the time I buy the OEM batteries for expensive cameras. Big advantage of this unit is the built in USB-C port. It adds so much flexibility for power in the field. So far it seems to last quite a while and you can use a charger or just a USB-C plug to charge. Really nice always having a fresh batter to deploy. Very happy. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cost effective but not equal to OEM. *by R***L on November 18, 2025* Cost effective for a backup. Does not last as long as OEM (maybe 80%) and battery shot count does not always reset. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ No included charger on the OM3? This helps *by G***E on September 12, 2025* OM System doesn’t include a battery charger for the OM3 so you have to charge in body via usb c. Since most people have a spare usb c cable around, it’s really nice to have a spare battery that can be charged out of the body, take up no more space than the battery itself and seems to work just fine. Highly recommend getting this as a spare. ## Frequently Bought Together - Wasabi Power USB Battery (Ginger Series) for Olympus BLX-1 and Olympus OM System OM-1 / OM-1 Mark ii - Wasabi Power Dual USB Battery Charger for Olympus BLX-1 and Olympus OM System OM-1 - Peak Design Anchor Connectors for Peak Design Straps (4-Pack, 4th Generation) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/588067719-usb-battery-ginger-series-for-olympus-blx-1-and-olympus](https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/588067719-usb-battery-ginger-series-for-olympus-blx-1-and-olympus) --- *Product available on Desertcart Cyprus* *Store origin: CY* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
