This product was more than I expected. I bought it as a back up for the battery that comes standard with my camera. I wasn't expecting anything special from a replacement brand, but I was shocked. The battery was about 1/10 the price of the Olympus brand battery, yet it had the same, if not a longer run time. I fully recommend this product as a supplement to the standard battery for extended trips. In either case, the battery life on a single charge for either product was more than enough for the excursions through the many different parks at Disney world. (my initial reason for buying the camera, an Olympus Stylus Tough 8000). Many of the excursions were over 15 hours, and I never needed more than one extra battery.

A very high quality product for an inexpensive price.

The maximal power brand really is a dependable battery. It works just like the original for my olympus 1030 camera at a cheaper price. Can't go wrong really.

Hey they came fast and the right model. I have used them and came to the following conclusion.
You get what you pay for. If you want to buy a batterie for $30 with the original manufacturers stamp on it you can, and if you want to spend the same amount on 4 batteries from a no name Brand, you can do that too. The difference was; Even so the no name brand is not holding the charge as long as the original batteries do, it still makes more sense to me to have rather 3 backups, which you should have at least one anyway.

These batteries are much less expensive than an Olympus brand battery, which is what attracted me to them. I ordered 4 so that I would have ample back up power for a long trip if my wall charger was unavailable. I have used all of them at least twice. They definitely don't last as long as the Olympus battery...I would approximate that they have about 60% of the power. However, it does say on the packaging that it takes about 4 full cycles of charging and running down the battery before it reaches its maximum potential. I am hoping that this is the case. If not, it is still a good value considering the price.

Perfect fit, holds charge well so far. Great substitute for LI50B from olympus at a much more affordable price.
