Olympus UC-92 Battery Charger

I bought this so I can charge a battery out of the camera and continue shooting with another battery. I like that it uses USB so I can charge it from a battery bank, a car charger, or a wall charger anywhere in the world. The USB cable is short and tucks into the charger, however I wish it was not permanently attached and could be replaced if damaged, or when needing a longer one. I do carry a 3' USB extension cable that gives me more reach when I need it.

A handy charger to have1 On the TG7 you can charge the battery in the camera using a USB cable, but this little charger is good because you can charge another battery simultaneously. It works well and I can recommend it.

Stopped working after a month. The concept is great. I was able to use this charger with the USB outlet in the car and from a battery pack so I always had one battery charged while the other was in use. We were on a month-long trip and this charger performed almost to the end. Almost. Literally 2 days before coming home it stopped working. Just died. I contacted the company and was told that because a month passed since purchase it's out of warranty, it cannot be repaired, and because it's out of stock I can no longer buy it. Not even "sorry our product did not live up to your expectations" or "unfortunately....". Just straight up: it broke, you're SOL, bye. I gave it 2 stars because for the time it worked it made the trip so much easier. So if you're going on a 26-day trip, this charger is for you. If you expect more than a month of use out of it, good luck.

Although the battery can be charged while in the camera, I want to be able to charge an extra battery while using the camera or to be able to recharge the backup battery while recharging the battery in the camera. My only complaint so far is that the USB cable is very short (about 4 inches) and is permanently attached to the charger so it cannot be swapped out for a longer one. It can be awkward to use depending on the location of your USB port. Other than that, this was easy to use and works fine. Very lightweight and easy to carry.

This is a solid little charger for your Olympus Tough camera's batteries. I've got two issues with it: 1) The price -- still pretty high for what you get 2) The cable -- I wish the charger had a USB-C socket instead of a USB-A cable, the world is rapidly moving away from the old USB-A interface (will soon be a real issue for travel) Granted, some of the price premium for this item comes down to functionality. It supports all three contacts on the battery, while cheap 3rd-party chargers only supply two (power & ground). The third contact, BTW, is for the battery's internal temperature sensor -- so this charger will protect against battery temperature runaway, while the cheap chargers will not. So while I grimace at the price of this charger, it's worth not burning my house (or hotel room) down.
