REYTRIC Upgrade 2-Pack BLX-1 Batteries Compatible with OM-1 - Longer

In this review the focus is on whether the REYTRIC Upgrade 2-Pack BLX-1 batteries and dual USB charger are a practical replacement for the original BLX-1 cells used in OM System OM-1 cameras. The bottom line: photographers who need reliable extra runtime and a travel-friendly charging option will appreciate these batteries for their 2000mAh capacity and built-in protection; the package replaces two BLX-1 cells and adds a compact LCD dual charger that charges both cells from USB sources.

Key Features

• Full compatibility: The batteries use the same chip design as the BLX-1 so they work with OM System OM-1 cameras that accept BLX-1 batteries without error messages.
• Higher capacity: Each 2000mAh 7.2V battery offers longer run time than many stock cells, reducing the need to swap batteries during long shoots.
• Dual USB charger: The included 2-channel charger accepts 5V/2.1A input and outputs 8.4V/0.5A to each bay, allowing simultaneous charging from wall chargers, car chargers, or power banks.
• Smart LCD display: The charger features an LCD that shows charging status so it is easy to see when each battery is ready without guessing.
• Safety protections: Built-in over-charge, over-discharge, over-voltage, over-current and over-heat protections help protect the cells and the camera during use and charging.
• Complete kit: The package contains two replacement batteries plus the 2-channel charger, giving everything needed for extended shooting or travel out of the box.

Who It's For

This kit is best for photographers who shoot all day or travel and need a dependable set of spare batteries that integrate seamlessly with an OM System OM-1 body. The increased 2000mAh capacity suits event shooters, landscape photographers, and vloggers who dislike frequent battery swaps.

It is less suited to users who require official manufacturer-branded accessories for warranty or service reasons, or photographers who need ultra-high-capacity specialist cells beyond the stated 2000mAh rating. Also, those without a USB power workflow may not fully benefit from the travel-friendly charger design.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Good runtime from 2000mAh cells that typically extend shooting time compared with lower-capacity replacements.
• Dual USB charger with LCD is convenient for travel and can charge both batteries simultaneously from common USB power sources.
• Integrated safety circuitry reduces risk of over-charge or overheating during charging and use.
• Package includes two batteries and a charger so you have spares and a charger in one purchase.

Cons

• Not an official OEM battery, so users preferring original-brand accessories may choose to look elsewhere.
• Charger output is 0.5A per bay, which is adequate but not fast compared with some higher-current chargers.
