Title: NOT AS GOOD AS OLYMPUS OEM BATTERY
Review: I purchased 2 Targus LI42B batteries in 2007 to complement my OEM battery for my Stylus 740. I take LOTS of pictures at car racing events when I travel to the point where battery life becomes the weakest link. With all 3 batteries charged in the morning, I went through both Targus batteries in 2 hours (1 hour each...best case!). The ONE Olympus battery would last me over 4 hours. The same thing happened the next day. The 3rd day, I used the OEM Olympus battery first and I went easily into the afternoon and only needed to swap in one Targus at the very end of the day. Now, 2008 one year later, the Targus battery (I lost one) didn't last 1/2 hour. The OEM went 3+ hours and still showing charged in the green zone. I'm going to buy another battery, it'll be an Olympus OEM. Yeah, its pricey, but if it works like the battery that came with the camera, it'll be worth it. If YOU by this battery, I'd advise to make sure it's NOT your PRIMARY battery.
