My Positive Experience with a Third Party Battery

The SterlingTek LI-42B battery is a substantial improvement on the Olympus model. Generally because it takes a fair bit more charge. This battery takes 1300 milliamps per hour compared with the Olympus version’s 740. It takes somewhat longer to charge, however the additional capacity means it lasts for a lot longer, and you can get more pictures taken during one cost cycle.

This is very important to me, as I ensure it will certainly be for many others. I go on regular hunting vacations. Whilst I’m away, I like to take a ton of pictures. Both of the surrounding animal and plant life, and of my buddies to remember the event.

Memory is not a complication, since my Olympus has 2GB of internal memory and carrying a few spare SD cards is no excellent problems. However, battery life is a limiting element. When you’re carrying 100lbs of food, camping and hunting equipment, the last thing you wish to do is to add to the load with a spare.

Due to the fact that our trips are over the weekend, I would discover I would run out of battery life mid-day on a Sunday, or have to genuinely limit the amount of photos I was taking to make it through to Sunday afternoon. I was missing out on wonderful shots, not simply since my video camera was passing away on me, but since I knew I had to preserve the battery life or danger failing to see also better shots later on.

So I browsed all over the web for a more powerful battery, and took care of to find the STK LI-42B. Preliminary impressions were good. It showed up immediately, was safely packaged and it matched the build quality of the initial.
After a decent cost (you must always charge batteries before you utilize them in my opinion) I took it for a little trial run. After around 100 shots, I still had a ton of battery life left over.

On my first hunting trip with the brand-new LI-42B, it did definitely make it with till Sunday afternoon, with moderate to regular use.
I am delighted with my purchase. It’s not often that I’m totally delighted with electrical products, however this battery actually lives up to exactly what’s guaranteed. I have even discovered that as a result of the added self-confidence in the battery life, I’m utilizing my video camera more.

And with using the camera a great deal more, I’ve discovered that I have actually improved immeasurably as a professional photographer. This isn’t really just due to the fact that the volume of the pictures has actually increased, which permits me even more to choose from. It’s also due to the fact that my skill as a professional photographer is improving. I’m paying even more attention to lighting, angles and framing of the shot than I ever before did previously.

And due to the fact that I’m not panicking about battery life, I find I’m even more composed when taking each shot. This results in far better pictures. I’ve even managed to win a couple of competitors in hunting and fishing journals.

If you find that the standard battery supplied with your Olympus does not fairly deliver enough capacity, then I can gladly recommend this variation of the battery as an excellent purchase. It’s well worth the money.
