I got a couple from the UK supplier ExPro, one was fine the other a tight fit in the grip. On examination I realised this was because of poor moulding tolerances so, the application of a little fine abrasive paper removed the high spots, now it fits as smooth as silk (no more than half a millimetre needed to be removed, it was that close)Hi,
I received a 3-battery set with charger from China. They seem to perform correctly with regard to capacity.
But, they are very difficult to take OUT of the grip ... no problem getting them in, and also no problem in the camera body ...
Anybody else faced this ?

Here are some pics of how I'm using the Olympus OEM charger for the OM-D.
The plug adapter from the iPad? Now that's clever.
I still haven't received my spare OEM battery on order since early June, so I purchased two generics and a charger from BestBatt. They fit the body and the grip quite well and are working ok.

Yep, I bought a spare from eB@y for a couple of dollars. I should point out that it doesn't fit flush against the wall, so if you had an old/loose socket there would be some risk of having the whole thing disconnect and in any case there is a very small bit of the blades exposed, so if you were leaving this around where small children could reach it I suppose there's a safety risk above and beyond the usual risks associated with children and electrical plugs. As long as you exercise a small amount of that uncommon common sense, it works brilliantly.Here are some pics of how I'm using the Olympus OEM charger for the OM-D.

I also purchased a pair of aftermarket batteries and the charger ("Wasabi"). They've been working great for the past two weeks, including a pretty heavy stint at the Olympics. :thumbup:
