Power for extended shoots
The Olympus BLS-50 is a 7.2V lithium-ion camera battery rated at 1210mAh and 8.46Wh. It supplies reliable energy for photographers who need to keep shooting during long sessions or while travelling away from mains power. The cell is designed to deliver consistent output so the camera stays ready for the next frame. It suits both amateur and professional users who want a dependable spare or replacement.
Compatibility check
Confirm that your camera model accepts the BLS-50 part number before ordering. The battery uses a proprietary form factor that fits only specific Olympus and OM System bodies. Check the camera manual or the manufacturer’s accessory list to verify the correct match. Using an incompatible pack can prevent the camera from powering on or communicating charge status.
Build and daily use
The battery housing is moulded to match the camera’s battery compartment, allowing a secure click-in fit without wobble. Its lithium-ion chemistry holds charge well during storage between trips. Contacts are recessed to reduce the risk of shorting when the pack is carried loose in a bag. No built-in charger is included; the cell recharges inside the camera or with a compatible external charger.

Questions about this item
Does the BLS-50 battery come with a charger or do I need to buy one separately?
The BLS-50 is supplied as the battery only; a compatible charger must be purchased separately if you do not already own one.
There is only the 7.2 V 1210 mAh 8.46 Wh version listed — how do I know it is the right one for my camera?
The 7.2 V 1210 mAh 8.46 Wh specification matches the original BLS-50, so this single listed version is the correct replacement for any camera that uses the BLS-50.
What does the 8.46 Wh rating mean for actual shooting time in my OM System camera?
The 8.46 Wh capacity delivers the same run-time as the original BLS-50, giving you a full day of typical shooting or extended video recording before a recharge is needed.
