anyone buying the LBH-1 batt adapter?

nightpiper · 14th October 2005

hi guys, juz casually asking who intends to buy the LBH-1 adapter to fit CR123A batts into the DSLR? apparently this adapter works with E1 & E300 too, so maybe as an emergency batt backup when overseas?

i m seriously thinking of getting one & also heard that there r CR123A rechargeables Li Ion in the market. any news on this?

thx.

i may get one just as a spare for the spare spare battery kinda thing...hehe..

but also cos i have plenty of cr123s at home... use them for torchlights....
hopefully oly does'nt price it TOO expensive....
there are rechargeable li-ion 123s, but afaik thier voltage is abit diff and also size tolerance might also be a prob...

How I wish that it uses AA batteries instead...

What rechargeble cr123 batteries does Olympus recommend?? Anyone knows.

i dun think they reccomend rechargeable cr123s....
iirc the lbh-1 with 3 cr123s was rated at 200 shots and the blm-1 at 400 shots by Oly....
i'm thinking the lbh-1 is more like a spare option rather than for common usage...

The BLM rated to provide onli 500 recharge.
