'Kapaxen' Brand Batteries for E-M1........or?
Feb 18, 2018 17:08:27 #
A few years ago I picked up a couple of 'Kapaxen' brand BLN-1 batteries and a battery charger for my E-M1. Came as a package at what I remember was a good price. Batteries charged in my Olympus charger too. Anyway, batteries and charger are still working fine, but one of my original Olympus batteries has started to go. I went looking for that Kapaxen brand, but could not find that battery listed. Anyway, I would like to get a few reliable replacement BLN-1 batteries and hoping to save a few bucks over cost of 'originals.'. So first off, anybody know if the same folks are making a battery under another name (OK, I know they come from China so that may be a pointless question). Alternately, since my experience with Kapaxen was fine, but since I can't find them, another brand suggestion would be welcome.
Thanks!
Thanks!

I have had good luck with Wasabi brand for my Canon cameras. I do not know if they make them for the one that you need.

https://kapaxen.com/ give a look and see if you can locate what you are looking for. Seems as if Kapaxen discontinued producing BLN-1 batteries?

As an FYI, their phone number is just a place holder. I tried the cell but it went to VM but today is a holiday

Just tried the cell number. Don't bother to call. It connects you to an online child care service . Their 800# is just a non-functional place holder. If this company is even still in business, there doesn't seem to be working way to contact them

Hey guys- did some more digging and found that a new battery company called :Best Batt" is at the same address. Here's their info: (800) 968-6639 www.BestBatt.com. Just spoke to them and they do have most of the common photography batteries in stock. For my D7200, they have the EN-EL15 for $19.95 so a good price.
Hope this helps

I talked to someone there too. When I asked about Kapaxan batteries, he first said that they (bestbatt) used to sell them. Then he said his were made by the Kapaxan. Guy sounded pleasant enough, maybe a little confused? Also the customer 'reviews' posted on the site ran the range from great to lousy. So: anybody use their products?

I have their $72 Kapaxen offering for the $300? MH-26 Nikon charger for the EN-EL 18a/b battery for the d850 grip. Works like a charm. Has roughly 20 reviews on the site. Most are positive.

When I called them, the guy who answered was not the "sharpest tack in the box" and when I told him about UHH and that folks were looking for his batteries, he was quite surprised. The Hillsborough location is just a warehouse in an industrial park here in NJ and he said that "Kaye" really is the person who handles phone calls.
Since Kapaxen's webpage only shows the same address as BestBatt, let's just assume they are an importer and leave it at that. Since it is already 10 pm and I had nothing better to do, I did some more digging and found that Kapaxen is part of a company called Boenn Technologies at the same address. they've deen around since 2010 and no BBB complaints. They sell on various websites like Amazon, etc. At the price they sell for and the mostly solid customer feedback I saw, I figure they are at least as good and maybe better than the 3rd party stuff you find on eBay.
