halcy0n · 19th April 2007

Hi,

Anyone know where to get a BLL-1 replacement for SHLD-2?

I bought mine overseas.

You want to get 1 together? I need to keep 1 extra as spare.

Hi,

I bought mine from http://www.dc-battery.com.au/index.php

The service is not ideal, i.e. you dont hear confirmation from them or receive a tracking no but I did get my replacement batt.

You may wanna try it out!

Cheers,
Richard

At AUD36 that is a pretty good price, considering it is SGD240 at Cathay Photo!

But those are compatible lens. Not original right?

How is the performance of the 3rd party BLL-1 compared to the $240 Olympus one?

I am using the Japanese 3rd party one... yielded 798 shots before the low battery came on...

Yea these are third party batteries. Made in China/Hong Kong I think. I haven't tried it out yet so I really can't tell. How many shots can you squeeze out of an original Oly batt?

I'd imagine it may not be all that different?

The Japanese third party costs a few times more than the Chinese made ones.

The original BLL-1 can go past 1000 in continuous shooting, 700 over shots for a day's shooting.
