You might want to check out the Wasabi charger/2 battery kit:

On Amazon the Olympus BCS-5 charger sells for $33 (Olympus $60) and 2 BLS-5 batteries $38 (Olympus $120), for a total $71 (list $180). It frankly amazes me what Olympus charges:

In 2012 I bought the Wasabi charger with 2 batteries for my E-M5. Still have them. Yesterday I ordered these 2 batteries for my new E-M10:

These batteries can be charged with the Olympus E-M10 charger so, unlike the E-M5, you don't need 2 chargers.
