Peter,
I purchased a pair of aftermarket batteries, but, after hearing of the
problems some folks have experienced with them, and at the urging of Chuck
Norcutt, I bought an Olympus product. I rotate my three batteries through 2
Olys, keeping one as a fully charged reserve, and have never had a problem.
