Finally replaced battery charger for my BLS-1 Olympus batteries. The old one was lost by the friends of mine somewhere in Spain. The new one is a quite interesting thingy – the universal battery charger made by Enkatsu (I have used some Enkatsu LiIon batteries and they are very good, sometimes even better than original branded ones).
The universality of this charger works pretty simple. All you need is a charger base that is universal and an “optionally required” plate that is designed to fit your particular type of batteries. It makes chances to find needed charger in the next door retail outlet much fattier because it’s easier for retailer to keep in stock a pile of cheap and relatively small plates for almost any camera brand than a designated chargers.
For example, you can grab a Delkin universal charger at Amazon and pick any of a dozen+ plates to fit your DSLR or EVIL or camcorder battery. And if you have two or more different types of LiIon batteries to work with, you can save some space in you luggage by bringing just one charger and a different plates for you stuff.
