Kastar 3Pack Battery and LCD Fast Charger Compatible with Olympus

In this review the Kastar 3Pack Battery and LCD Fast Charger is evaluated for photographers who need dependable spare power for Olympus mirrorless bodies. The biggest reason to consider this kit is straightforward: it bundles three high-capacity lithium-ion replacement batteries with an intelligent, fast charger that monitors charge status on an LCD and offers a USB output for charging small devices. For travel shooters and workshop users who need multiple ready batteries and a compact charging solution, this kit delivers convenience and measurable runtime improvements over single-stock batteries.

Key Features

• High capacity battery: Each 7.4V 2100mAh lithium-ion cell provides extended shooting time compared with many factory lower-capacity options, reducing mid-day battery swaps.
• Ultra-fast charger: The charger supports 4.2V/8.4V output at 1.0A, allowing batteries to be charged substantially faster than a slow trickle charger.
• LCD charge monitoring: An integrated LCD displays charging status, battery capacity and voltages so users can see progress at a glance.
• USB output: The charger includes a 0.6A USB output to charge phones or small USB devices while batteries charge, adding versatility when traveling.
• Wake up and wide input: The charger includes a wake-up function for over-discharged cells and accepts 110-240V for worldwide use, plus compatibility with 12V car power.

Who It's For

The kit is best for Olympus camera owners who use M-D E-M1, OM-D E-M5 / E-M5 Mark II, PEN E-P5 or PEN-F bodies and want multiple spare batteries for extended outings, shoots, or travel. Enthusiasts and pros who prefer carrying several ready cells and an intelligent charger that reports state of charge will particularly appreciate the convenience.

Photographers who always prefer only OEM-labeled batteries or who require the fastest possible professional charging speeds from a branded OEM charger should evaluate whether a manufacturer-specific charger meets their workflow needs; otherwise this kit offers broad compatibility and useful features for most users.
