Customer Reviews

good battery.. doesn't take very long to recharge either
This rechargeable battery came with my Olympus C-50 5MP digital camera, and I'm quite satisfied with it and don't feel the need to buy a spare battery. I am not a photographer that goes out taking shots for hours on end, but I do occasionally go on picture-taking sprees on pretty days or party weekends. I haven't run into problems with the battery dying on me so far, and I've had this battery for almost 2 years now. If you know you're going to be taking a lot of pictures, leave home with a full battery and you should be fine.

Good rechargeable. A little pricey though.
I have owned several digital cameras, including numerous Olympi.
I do Kite and Balloon Aerial Photography. The camera is usually several 100 feet above the ground and a pain to bring down to change out the batteries. So, I'm very concerned with battery life.

Three of the Olympi have used the LI-12B. I still have three of these batteries (one is an aftermarket clone from Thomas Distributing) and two chargers. With my Stylus 410, I was able take about 300 pictures without flash and LCD display on one charger. The jury is still out on my new Stylus 800. I can't seem to turn off the LCD display on the 800. This sucks because the LCD is big (2.5") and probably draws alot of juice.

All in all, it seems to last comparbly to the C123/dual-AAs in my Pentax Optio S55 but not as long as the four 2500mAh rechargeable AAs in the Canons.

Long Lasting Battery
I purchased extra batteries to use on my trip with the Olympus Stylus 800 digital camera. The batteries worked very well. I changed the battery in the camera after 200 shots, but hadn't seen the low battery warning yet. I probably could have gotten 400 shots out of each one. Take a few extra along for those remote trips, but you probably will need fewer than anticipated.
