OLYMPUS 202034 Olympus LI-42B Replacement Battery… More >>
This item was listed as “also purchased when ordering your camera”
Unfortunately my camera I bought was the Olympus 8000 and this battery was for another camera, so after opening it and trying to install it, found it wouldn’t fit.
Guess I’ll know not to purchase anything recommended by the article again.
Yes, it’s only a battery, but when you come across Elvis, Bigfoot and the Lochness Monster at a picnic your batter will be dead. So, it’s a good idea to carry a spare.
This says it is a LI-42B and the packaging says it is a LI-42B. The description specifically says it will fit my Stylus 720 camera.
BUT the actual package I received had a LI-50B which is 1/2″ too big to fit the camera or charger.
(And I had paid extra to get it by Christmas so I could use it… now I have to go out and buy one locally and pay $40.00 for some cheap imitation brand.)
My husband ordered this battery because it stated it was compatable with the olympus stylus cameras. However, it is not compatable with the new Olympus Stylus 1030SW. For the new 1030SW, you need to buy the LI-50B. Now I’m paying to return the item and get the correct battery for my camera.
Perfect match to the factory battery at a much better price than from any local retailer. Came in very handy on an extended backpacking trip where I wasn’t able to recharge – or even carry the charging unit.
