Thanks for that link, Frank, it's many years since I saw such a review site
(and the bad news hasn't got any better).
Regarding Duracell, if not the normal alkaline type cells, be aware that a
Duracell battery is probably as much a Duracell product as a present day Kodak
camera is a Kodak product. In other words, it isn't, the brand name and the
DuracellDirect website are licensed to PSA Parts Ltd, "the leading supplier of
Batteries, Power Adapters and Chargers within Europe".

Subject: Re: [OM] Batteries for EM5
There is a German guy who tests and opens batteries for Olympus camera's.
He is not very positive about 3d party batteries and backups his opinions
with facts and measurements.
Here he tests a Duracel option
<https://pen-and-tell.de/2016/11/akkus-jetzt-wirds-kriminell/>. Short:
don't buy it. If you don't want to buy original, buy the cheapest on eBay.
Big chance it won't be worse then a premium 3d party brand one.
