They all look pretty similar, with the exception that in the tiny print both ProMaster batteries quote a capacity of 2,250 mAh / 16.2 Wh, compared to the OEM battery’s 2,280 mAh / 17 Wh. I’m not surprised that the model with USB-C charging has a lower capacity (you have to give up *something* to make room for the charge circuitry); I am, though, a little surprised that even the ProMaster non-USB-C model also has the lower nominal capacity (admittedly it’s only a 4.7% drop, but still…).

It’s not a life-or-death thing, but I wish every gadget that included a cable was so forthcoming, it’d save folks a lot of aggravation when they use the cable for other things. Sept 12: Fujifilm has announced a new medium format mirrorless camera: Fujifilm GFX 100 II. There are three new lenses alongside it, a GF 55mm f/1.7R WR and two new tilt-shift lenses. The best quality cells are used in the production of Newell batteries. Thanks to this, the capacity quoted in milliampere-hours is real, which translates into a long operating time. Replacements one hundred percent reproduce the shape of the original batteries. Combined with properly selected plastic, they guarantee a perfect fit for the devices in which they will be placed. Protection-and-safety Lenses – The lens has dust inside that may affect images. The rubber zoom/focus ring is coming away from the barrel of the lens.

OM System says that fully charging the battery from empty, with the camera turned off, takes around 2 hours 30 minutes. I haven’t timed it specifically, but that sounds about right in my experience. Option 2: Use an External Charger The Newell BLX-1 replacement was created using lithium-ion technology. This allows you to charge and discharge it multiple times. There is also nothing to prevent you from recharging the battery at any time. The advanced technology used by the Newell brand avoids the occurrence of the so-called memory effect, i.e. “remembering” by the device’s reduced usage time. 40-month warrantyThe camera doesn’t come with an external charger, but one is available as an optional extra accessory. There’s an official OM System one available as well as aftermarket alternatives. Official External Charger Our used products are subject to wear and tear in comparison to brand new products. This also applies to accessories that are supplied with the camera including batteries which may have a lower optimum performance level/life expectancy. When the folks at OM System (formerly Olympus Imaging) released their new flagship camera, the OM-1, it came with its own new high-capacity battery — the BLX-1. As is usually the case with new battery designs, supply was tight at first. But pandemic supply chain issues (and maybe other problems) have helped keep supply tight since then, and prices for BLX-1 batteries have only gone up in the meantime. As for the convenience aspect of the new batteries, at worst, you’re swapping out a (fairly bulky and expensive) OEM battery charger for a small USB adapter that you likely already have cluttering up a drawer — not a bad trade, particularly when you’re traveling.

Think of it like driving — the driver’s attention (and a correctly operating vehicle) keep the vehicle from running headlong into a tree. But in case something goes wrong, the vehicle occupants have seat belts and airbags and other safety equipment — this gear won’t guarantee crash survival, but it dramatically tilts the odds in favor of the humans. Still, the car manufacturer isn’t going to recommend that drivers head straight to the nearest tree, just for fun. The safety equipment is very good, but it’s no guarantee. With that unpleasantness out of the way, how well do the ProMaster batteries work? Well, in short — they work in-camera just the same as an OEM battery (full battery info is displayed), charge in-camera just like an OEM battery, and charge in the external OM System charger just like an OEM battery. The new USB-C battery charged without any problems using the supplied cable and an old iPhone charger I had rattling around (5V / 1A for the win!). I’ll update this post if I experience any issues in long-term use, but for now it’s so far / so good.
