yes.

Almost certainly not, but there are no perfect guarantees..

yes. (O:

yes, it is a measure of the battery's working capacity, and generally,
the more mAh, the better..

>or should it be the same as the olympus battery supplied with the
camera? (1090 mAh)
As long as it is not wildly different, and as long as the battery
really is a Li Ion battery, you should be ok. The ones I have bought
are ok, if a little overrated, but occasionally you hear about one or
two that refuse to be charged - somehow the Oly charger rejects or
doesn't recognise them.

Given the price of them, I think it is a worthwhile chance to take.
But pick a reputable supplier..

1090 mAh means that the battery can supply 1090 mA (a little more than 1A)
for an hour.Or a smaller current, for longer, of course.I have no idea what
your camera is like, but for my Kodak the manufacturer recommends either Li
or NiMH, but it is working perfectly up till now with ol'cheapo NiCd batts.

I'm in Oz too, and have bought from ebay.com.au - can't remember the
name of the firm I bought from. Just look at the number of sales/lack
of complaints for the seller, and you should be ok.
