I dare not test my original Oly battery onto 3rd party charger.

i also interested to know too. Daneil can answer this question.
 

Road show at Suntex next week from Thurday to Sunday where there
is possibly EM5 battery sale from the various stalls. The price may be slightly higher.

I tried. Works fine, but I haven't really put the charged original battery to the test.

SLRR has the 3rd party battery. Comes with a charger and priced at $24. Your wish granted!!
 

In regards to the teardown (apollogies if this has been asked and answered already), are T, I, & S connected to anything?
 

Nope, i sent him a msg to clarify, this is the reply:


Yes, it can charged in the original Olympus battery charger

Best regards

Seller mentioned "camera ac adapter", which means battery in camera, adapter plugged into battery grip to charge. Not the original charger.

Sorry pal... i was just looking out for a potential 3rd party battery for the OMD... i've not even bought a OMD for myself (soon though). :bsmilie:


Good lah, waiting for you to test and confirm :p
 

Any chance I can get 3rd party batteries from any local shop before Thursday? Don't think I can get it through Ebay on time, none of the shops in funan have stock too.
 

Is the madness still on?
