out of interest what do you mean by terrible

I haven't checked the number of shutter activations, but even after using the camera fairly sparingly for a few hours I have to replace or recharge the battery. Both batteries also seem to lose their charge just leaving them in the camera.

That sounds about normal, about 3 or 4 hours for all m4/3s cameras except the GHs.  You can play around with saving methods but IMHO it's a waste of time, much easier to have a  couple of spares in your pocket.
