There was a thread on the best option for a 3rd party battery last year, but since I see no recent comments I'll raise the topic again.
I purchased a battery from one of Amazon's affiliates in January, since it seemed to be one of the better options available at the time :
"EZOPower Olympus BLN-1/ BLN1 Full-Decoded Rechargeable Lithium Ion Battery 1020mAh EZCBA36 for Olympus OM-D EM-5 E-M5 Digital Camera"
My guess is that I was only able to got around 300 shots, and it's now dead, doesn't hold a charge and is out of warranty - maybe I was just unlucky.
Anyone have anything new to report in this area - is there a new supplier whose product ticks all the boxes? (or just spring for the genuine article?)
