EM-5 Battery unobtainable

Hi Guys,

I've been trying to get 2 spare BLN-1 batteries but there appears to be no reliable forecast for their availability. The local Olympus-pro dealer says there is a capacity problem - according to Olympus. He couldn't say whether it was a battery capacity problem or a supply-chain capacity problem. Can anyone shed some light on this issue?
