Revainrating 4 out of 5

Batteries are great, floaty a little cumbersome.

Since I can't seem to find the proprietary cables for my Olympus TG-1 I just got this battery charger with two batteries. Performs the job admirably. The floating strap was a benefit, but it's a little awkward to use when you're out kayaking and want to snap a quick picture of things heading through the rapids.

Pros
  • Improves overall camera performance
Cons
  • The charger may be bulky or difficult to store when not in use

batteries and the chargers seem fine

Good - the batteries and the chargers seem fine, and they are the main reason I bought this.Bad - the floatation strap is ridiculously huge and yet under-capable (it doesn't fit well on any body reasonable part, and there's not enough float material to actually hold the camera above water); the screen protector slides off the camera LCD with ease, providing no real protection.

Pros
  • works as expected!
Cons
  • The batteries may quickly drain while the camera is in use

It was great to have a backup battery

So thankful I purchased this before our trip. It was great to have a backup battery. I was able to use the charger with an exchange plug in Australia. Batteries were always charged and ready to use. Never worried about not being able to take my photos because the backup was always ready for use.

Pros
  • Can save you money on battery replacement costs
Cons
  • The batteries may lose charge quickly when not in use for an extended period

Pretty much exactly as expected.

Got this in anticipation of a Caribbean vacation. Actually quite lucky, as I forgot all the chargers (including this one) at home, and was pleasantly surprised to find that I didn't forget the batteries.

Pros
  • Ideal for hobbyists and professional photographers too
Cons
  • The bundle may not include a carrying case or pouch for easy transport

I'm happy to say that the batteries worked flawlessly

I read the few issues some people had regarding the charger, but I went ahead and ordered it anyway. I was more interested in the spare batteries, anyway. I'm happy to say that the batteries worked flawlessly, and yes.the charger worked for me as well. I didn't have any issues with the fit of the batteries, and both batteries charged perfectly. The float is bulky, but it does it's job well. It's enough to lift a heavy TG-3 to the surface, and the orange color is handy to see in an emergency.

Pros
  • Can prolong the life of your camera
Cons
  • The bundle may be too complicated for some consumers to use without assistance

Still happy after months of use with my TG-2

I have been very pleased with this battery & charger kit. It works great and easy to use, just pop in a battery, plug charger in and after the light turns green unplug and done. After 9 months of use with an average of well over 1000 pictures a month and many times (no clue as to how many) of charging with no problems. I I I

Pros
  • Camera & Photo
Cons
  • The batteries may be prone to leakage or other damage if mishandled

Works Great in my review

It’s a strange charger, it comes in 2 pieces. It’s a charger plus an adapter! It works fine, no problems. The extra stuff is an added bonus to this purchase.

Pros
  • Increases your shooting capacity
Cons
  • The batteries may not fit properly in the camera if not inserted correctly

Works with my TG-2 for my opinion

The battery life in my TG-2 is good but I'll be traveling where I will want to take lots of pictures and won't always have the opportunity to re-charge the batteries so I ordered a spare set. So far I've been very happy with these batteries and the charger.

Pros
  • No
Cons
  • The charger may stop working altogether after a short period of time

As advertised: my feedback

The item was well priced and received in a few days. Batteries work well with my camera. The float strap is nothing special but it floats the camera. Would buy again

Pros
  • Provides enough power for video recording
Cons
  • The batteries may not work properly with certain camera settings or features

Good Price on my review.

The arrows as to which way to put the batteries in the camera are backwards, at least for my Olympus Tough TG-1. Flipped it around and it worked fine. I have only charged them and verified they worked to this point. Will use them on vacation soon so if they don't work I will post more. The float strap is much bigger than I thought. The end to attach it to the camera seems like it would come off easily, so I will probably attach it to the camera with a climbing clip so I don't lose it in deep…

Pros
  • Value for money
Cons
  • Batteries don't hold a charge near as long as the original….

Did not work properly

Received the product promptly in time for a vacation trip.The charger does not work to charge the battery unless you put several layers of paper under the battery and rubber band the battery into the cradle to hold it while it charges.Have run into an issue trying to return the order because of the following.Put the two batteries in the charger before we left and they were already charged. So I thought.I placed the batteries and charger in our checked bag so we wouldn't have issues going…

Pros
  • Can make for a great gift for friends or family members
Cons
  • The batteries may require multiple charges to fully reach their maximum capacity

Good deal, works as expected

Haven't really had a chance to see how long the batteries last, or test the buoyancy of the float, but everything seems to be good especially considering the price.

Pros
  • Saves time and money by not having to buy batteries separately
Cons
  • The charger may not indicate when the batteries are fully charged, leading to overcharging

Handy assorment for new TG-2 purchase

Since I intend to use my new camera during salt water fishing, having additional batteries and a camera floatation device provides insurance that I'll have plenty of backup power and won't lose the camera if and when it eventually goes overboard. The batteries included in this package last longer than the OEM.

Pros
  • 6.6 x 5.6 x 2 inches
Cons
  • The bundle may not be a cost-effective solution for every consumer

Worth the money in my review

Haven't tried the car charger plug yet, but the battery charger and extra batteries were just what I needed. The charger may be bulkier than expected, making it difficult to store!

Pros
  • Reduces the risk of missing important events
Cons
  • The charger may be bulkier than expected, making it difficult to store

A Must-Have! good for me

The TG-1 has only an internal USB charger, so whenever you need to recharge the battery you have to plug the camera in. I bought this for my vacation/family reunion a couple months back. It is really reassuring to know you have extra batteries that are charged and ready to go. So I don't have to worry about turning my camera off to conserve battery, I can just leave it on and shoot away! No more missing great candid moments waiting for my camera to turn back on!

Pros
  • Fully charged batteries last a long time
Cons
  • The charger may be noisy or disruptive while in use

Worth the price. for my opinion

Everything works as expected. The strap even keeps the camera from sinking, but barely. It also has a clip on it so you can take the floater strap off easily. Batteries have been good and has similar performance to the stock battery.

Pros
  • Can help improve your photography skills
Cons
  • The bundle may not offer any customization options or add-ons

Batterly Life Absolutely Awesome!

The batteries hold a very good charge. I was amazed at the number of pictures I could take before the battery went dead. As an experiment, I decided to keep shooting until the battery went completely dead. I filled an entire 16GB memory card with mostly photos. I took a handful of 2-3 minute videos, but most of my test was with photos on the highest resolution setting, and the flash forced on. I zoomed in and out a good amount of the time.I don't know if this is normal or not, or if it's the…

Pros
  • Simple and convenient to use
Cons
  • The batteries may be difficult to remove from the camera once inserted

Good Value in my review

When I am traveling, it is important to have more than one battery for my camera as well as charger other than my camera. Often my travels take me to destinations where I cannot charge everyday. The charger allows me to charge the batteries either by outlet or in the car. I can then charge 2 batteries at once by using my camera to charge the other battery. All has worked well. As I plan to use my camera around water, the floating device was an extra bonus.When I received my initial package, it…

Pros
  • Comes with extra accessories such as a cleaning cloth and carry bag
Cons
  • The batteries may not be as reliable as other brands or options on the market

Wall Charger Issue in my review

Everything came as advertised but had a slight issue with the wall charger. I could not charge the batteries without being plugged into the camera due to the looseness of the batteries in the charger. It would only charge if I manually held the battery in place while charging. No issues with the batteries working and the floating wrist band, just the charger. Still a great deal, I just happened to get a faulty charger. I would still recommend this bundle. Too great a price to complain!

Pros
  • Can be used in a wide range of shooting scenarios
Cons
  • The charger may only work with certain types of batteries, limiting its versatility

Keep Taking Photos!

This was a very handy addition for my Olympus TG-4 camera. Although the items are labeled Vivitar, they all work great. The batteries may not fit snugly in the camera, causing connectivity issues!

Pros
  • Works as expected
Cons
  • The batteries may not fit snugly in the camera, causing connectivity issues
