Included with the charger, a USB cable, a USB plug and a 12V (cigarette lighter) connector is included. Everything is well packed in a handy little box.
The charging cradle is blue / black, and smaller and lighter than the original Olympus charger. It has a Micro USB port and can be charged using the included USB cable either to the notebook, at the power outlet using the USB Power Adapter or in the car with the car adapter.
I have now tested a few charge cycles and can not tell the difference to the original charge Schade of Olympus. Both charge the battery at the same speed. I have an EPL tried 5 camera and the original battery and a compatible battery No Name. Both are easily loaded with the charging of MR Trade. A small LED on the charging cradle indicates to me when the battery is fully charged.
The advantages of this set are the one in the lower dimensions than the original charging cradle. Secondly, I've been through the USB charging cable for charging more options, either on the PC / laptop, to a battery bank or in the car or at each outlet. Optionally, I can use my phone charging cable with Micro USB plug. Cables and connectors I can also still use for other devices.
I therefore prefer this charging cradle before the original and can recommend them to anyone. The price-performance ratio is super.
