Do they charge in the Oly charger because most if not all 3rd party batteries (I`ve seen in the UK) do not .

Really?

I've got four generic cheap batteries from ebay, all from different sellers, and they all charge no problem at all.

My experience is the same as Adam's, I have had to buy a 3rd party charger.

PS. Adam beware, a lighter weight battery will have very little capacity - despite what it may say on the label.

If they do then I want one !! (at 3rd party prices of course, not sold as an original)
