The inference to be drawn from the words about compatibility is that the
BLM-01 *can* be charged in the BCM-05 (the light grey charger supplied with
E-5). If not, they would have said so, surely? Well, no - I have not been
able to charge a BLM-01 (genuine Olympus) in a BCM-05. And they don't
mention the BCM-02, but the same restrictions must apply there.
I see also that BCS-01 has been replaced with BCS-05 with its own charger.

PS - USD79.95 is a nice price for a BCM-05. GBP71.45 over here - USD113.

See Olympus's page on the BLM-5 here
<https://us.buyolympus.com/lithium-ion-rechargeable-battery-blm-5.html>
At the end of the blurb is says this about compatibility
----------------------------------------------------------------
Note: This battery also replaces the BLM-01 battery. However, it cannot be
charged in the Li-Ion Battery Charger BCM-01 as noted above.
----------------------------------------------------------------
In other words, the batteries are compatible but the chargers are not.
At 1620mAh the BLM-5 is presumably of higher capacity than the BLM-01.
