I'm paranoid about camera batteries. I always carry a couple of spares. When I bought my GRII, I intended to buy at least one spare Ricoh battery but neither Amazon nor B&H had them in stock at the time. I have had past experience with Wasabi batteries so I didn't hesitate to buy these. In addition, the Wasabi batteries come with a charger--something that is not included with the GRII.What's to say? These batteries work well. I have them in rotation with the original Ricoh battery and I cannot tell the difference in use. They fit my GRII perfectly. Mine have shown no tendency to swell. They seem to power the camera for about the same time in use as the OEM batteries. I keep a close watch on the amount of charge left in my batteries and I always recharge them before they are totally discharged. While I don't expect them to go through the same number of charge cycles as the Ricoh battery, they are a good economical substitute. When they finally die, I probably will replace them with another pair of Wasabis.As for the charger, it's a great little gadget. I own several of these chargers for different brands of cameras and they all have various branding printed on them--Wasabi, Vivitar, STK, Maximal Power, etc. They appear to all be made by the same manufacturer or, at least, made to the same specifications by various Chinese makers. They all work well and charge batteries efficiently. They make for excellent travel chargers since they dispense with the cord many companies still use. In some cases, they seem to be better built than the OEM battery chargers that came with the cameras. I have no complaints about the charger at all.

This is an early review, meaning I haven't had a chance to put this product through its paces of a period of time, but I wanted to address an issue that I saw mentioned in a number of other reviews, which indicated that the battery was not quite the correct size and was difficult to remove. I have the Ricoh GR II, and I can tell you that these batteries are the exact same size as the DB-65 OEM battery that came with the camera, and they fit perfectly - they slide in and out without problem and have the same amount of wiggle room as the DB-65. Also, the charger works great. I received the camera on the same day as this charger, and the battery that came with the camera was completely depleted. According to the manual, it would have taken 5 hours to fully charge the battery using the supplied USB charger, but using the Wasabi charger it was charged in well under an hour. The quality also looks fine, and batteries are held in the charger with a satisfying click.I have nothing to report on the longevity of these batteries compared to the DB-65, but my first trip out I had a Wasabi battery in the camera and it seemed to last a long time. I'll update this review once I've put them through their paces.All in all, considering the Ricoh-branded equivalent of this product would have set me back around $160, I'd say this is a great deal.
