BLH-1 third party batteries

[Wreckdiver]

Has anyone used third party BLH-1 batteries that have worked OK in a E-M1X and charge OK in the BCH-1 charger?

Thanks.

If you are happy with 2nd hand Olympus BLH-1 https://www.mpb.com/en-uk/product/olympus-blh-1-battery mpb have them in £17-£21 plus p&p, the photos also show the manufacturing date too.

Otherwise the EXPro as mentioned.

I bought 2 of these second-hand batteries from MPB a year or so ago. It is one of them that has failed. I have always used third-party batteries in my Mk1 cameras and never had any problems. Just that the price of genuine ones is extortionate.

Thanks guys, I'll take a look. One of my genuine batteries was fine yesterday and charged fully, now it shows 22% overnight without being used. Two of my others now won't charge to 100% but that would be normal behaviour.

Cheers 😊
