I can't vouch for it from personal experience but it does get good reviews:

A caveat from one who always seems to have several different batteries to 
charge when traveling.

With one charger, one may need to get up in the night to change the battery, possibly twice. This looks like even less fun with the above Lenmar than dedicated chargers, adjusting contacts bleary eyed in the dark.

When I was first using non-coded batteries for the E-M5, I found to my surprise that it's an advantage that they require a different charger. I can charge both Oly and Wasbi battery at the same time.

When RV traveling, mostly without hookups, I have an inverter with lower drain than the built-in one and a USB output, a three outlet AC tap and a 12v dual outlet adapter with two USB outs. It looks like a snake put up front while I make dinner, but charges lots of things at once and is usually done before bed. If not, I can just leave it on overnight with the second batch; the no-load drain is very low.

PESO:

I'm planning my next trip to Honduras in about two weeks.  If I take the
M240, MM, and my new Fuji XPro1, that means taking three separate battery
chargers with their assorted cables and cords.

As above, I would take all three chargers and a multiple AC tap that accommodates all three at once. Charge 'em all at once and get it over with.

All Charged Up Moose
