Customer reviews

This cant be the right price - $279?????????
This cant be the right price - $279???????? - I can get 4 rechargeable batteries and a charger for 20 bucks.

not worth it
the batteries take too long to charge and the batteries drain energy quickly.

Not as Rapid as you might think...
The BU-500 charger included in this package uses a fixed 13-hour timer that is reset whenever unplugged. (Stated on Olympus web site) If the batteries are fully charged, the current is reduced, but the light stays on until the 13 hours are up. As my two-year old Olympus BU-100 charger (sadly no longer available, it seems) charged 4 batteries in about 4 hours, I am not sure how this one can be called "Rapid".

Compact Battery Charger
I have this charger (only in black as marketed by Energizer), Specifically, what I like about the unit is that there is no external cord; the plug is built into the unit and folds down for very compact storage. Red light at the bottom goes out when batteries are charged.
