Frequently asked questions

FAQ on the BLS-5

What is the difference between BLS-5 and BLS-50?
The BLS-50 is the newer original battery from Olympus/OM System. In many cameras the two are interchangeable – but according to OM System, not in the OM-D E-M10 Mark III, E-M10 Mark III S, E-M10 Mark IV, E-M5 Mark III, PEN E-P7, E-PL9 and E-PL10: only the BLS-50 fits there. Baxxtar offers the BLS-5; we don’t have a suitable battery for these cameras.
Does the battery fit my OM-D E-M10 Mark III or Mark IV?
According to OM System, no: only the BLS-50 fits the E-M10 Mark III, Mark III S and Mark IV – there is no Baxxtar BLS-50. The E-M10 and the E-M10 Mark II use the BLS-5.
