BM 2 LI-90B, LI-92B Batteries and Charger for Olympus Tough TG-6, TG-5, TG-Tracker, SH-1, SH-2, SP-100 IHS, Tough TG-1, Tough TG-2, Tough TG-3, Tough TG-4, SH50 iHS, SH60, XZ-2 iHS Cameras

If you buy a TG-5, as just did, you need a charger, since the camera doesn't come with one. Olympus expects you to charge the battery in the camera with a USB cable, which means that you are using a capable and expensive camera to charge batteries! And the camera is out of action until there's juice in the battery. It's pretty awful to run out of power in just when things are getting good so it's always good practice to have at least one extra charged battery within reach. This set seems to be well made and it works. Apparently it will charge in a car, American wall sockets and even comes with an adapter for use in Europe. I can't speak for the quality of the batteries yet, but I will say that after market batteries have seldom let me down. This is a good deal for the price.

Everything I needed and works great

BLUF: This is a great deal. It is much more economical than the OEM solution of approximately $90 for a spare battery and charger. The charger may look big in the pictures, but does have a surprising small form factor (3.75" L x 1.75"W x 1.5" T). Purchased this not knowing what to expect -- you get what you pay for type of thing. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the product was better than described. The capacity of the batteries was 2100-mAh, but were listed as 1500-mAh. This means more camera time/pictures...approximately 56% more than the OEM battery of 1350-mAh. If you trust the CIPA rating, which the Olympus TG-3 is rated at 330 pictures with the OEM battery, then the number of pictures taken with this higher capacity battery would be around 514. So, whatever the operating time is under your "standard conditions", these batteries would increase it by roughly 50%. For those of you unfamiliar with the physics of batteries: equate battery voltage to water pressure; capacity to the size of the water reservoir. More water is better, but if comes out at too high a pressure it can rupture the plumbing (electronic circuits in this case). Keeping within the manufacturers voltage rating (3.6V in this case) is definitely recommended, especially for sensitive electronics. I didn't buy this product because it included a screen protector. It's not bad, but for the long term, there are better options (e.g. Zagg). If you need one, it comes with a universal screen protector that must be cut-to-size. This product has two anomalies associated with it: 1) the battery label/markings are incorrect; 2) the charger will not charge the batteries unless you insert the battery first and then plug it in to an outlet. The first simply requires paying attention to the terminals on the end of the battery to ensure they're oriented correctly when inserting into the camera. For the camera, the orientation of the terminals are correct (+/- location), just not the "arrow" on the battery compared to that of the OEM -- the markings correspond to the charger, not the camera. The second is odd, but if you plug the charger in first, and then insert the battery, it gives a green light -- meaning it's not charging...in lieu of amber indicating it is charging.

These batteries and the charger work well with a couple of my Olympus cameras. They arrived as promised at a different address from any delivery locations I used before.

The Olympus Camera did not come with a battery charger; it had a cable that required the battery to be in the camera while charging it. Loved having the ability to charge batteries without them being in the camera, not to mention getting extra batteries for backup. I considered this purchase a good deal

I had the old Olympus camera and the battery died. I found these batteries and they’ve worked perfectly. They’ve given my rugged camera a new life. I also like the fact that instead of using the camera to charge, the charger that comes with it can charge the second battery, I can still use the camera and then I can just quickly switch out the batteries without losing any camera time.

These batteries work perfectly with my Olympus tg7. So glad I have a good charger and extra batteries at such a great price. Thanks!

This is the 2nd one of this brand that I have purchased. Both of them stopped charging the batteries after about 6 months. I thought the first one was a fluke or something I did wrong. Nope, it just craps out. The batteries are fine and will charge inside my camera. I would not recommend this brand.
