OM System BLX-1 Rechargeable Battery

The OM System BLX-1 is the battery for the OM-1, OM-1 Mark II, OM-3, and OM-5. At 2280mAh it gives the OM-1 a rated endurance of ~520 shots per charge. A spare BLX-1 is recommended for full-day wildlife or sports sessions — the OM-1's 50fps burst and computational photography modes drain the battery significantly faster than standard shooting. The BLX-1 is also used by the HLD-10 battery grip for the OM-1 and OM-1 Mark II.

📝 How suitability scores are calculated GearScore™ genre scores are calculated from this camera's verified specifications — autofocus, sensor, weight, weather sealing and more — weighted by what matters for each type of photography. Where a spec sheet misses something (e.g. a manual-focus rangefinder for street), we apply a documented editorial adjustment. Scores are not based on customer reviews. See our full methodology →
