I've now got two OEM BLS-50 batteries for the E-PL6 but I find myself recharging the batteries twice a week.
I have 4 batteries for my E-M1 and I often charge one or two daily.
Does so much charging shorten the life of the batteries?
Rechargeable can be recharged a few hundred times before becoming useless. The more often you charge, the sooner they will be come defunct. But so what? They don't cost a fortune.
I've been worried about that since with my other cameras I dont recharge batteries more than once a month.
You're a worry wart.
I had a thought- with my E-520 I had bought an Ownuser Grip which allows you to use AA batteries with the camera. I see that Ownuser made a grip for the E-620 camera also, and according to B&H the BLS-50 battery is compatible with the E-620 so I should be able to reverse engineer the E-620 Ownuser grip to make the AA battery holder part usable with the E-PL6 shouldn't I? I'm thinking of buying that grip just to see if this will work or not. Thoughts?
I don't see an advantage in AA size rechargeables over the OEM batteries. To get the proper voltage, you have to put the AAs in series. What capacity do you expect?
Do you really want to make your E-PL6 larger and heavier?
The increase in capacity will be worth it, in other cameras in which I've used Eneloops, the capacity of these batteries was far greater than Li Ion batteries (in some cases 2000 or more shots before I had to recharge) and they are also rated to over 2000 charge cycles before they become defunct.
I found it on sale in two places.

edit: the first grip might be a different one since the one on sale at Gladsbuy mentions it holds six AA batteries (like my E-520 grip) while the one on ebay says it holds eight AA batteries. Hmmm, which to get? I have sixteen Eneloops batteries so I have plenty for either grip.

The Fujifilm X-T5 is the company's latest classically-styled APS-C mirrorless camera. It gains the 40MP sensor and AF system from the X-H2 but in a body with a more stills-focused slant. We've been putting it through its paces.
