Can you charge a Progo in the Oly charger (E-M5)?

Yes. I've done it many times, that was the point of buying for me. Never have had a Progo charger. I don't know if the slightly lower number of shots I tend to get from the Progos is related to that.

I read a lengthy treatise (probably an Amazon review) about small voltage differences between OEM and Halcyon batteries for the GX7 which concluded that using each with its dedicated charger gave slightly better life. But you know, with three batteries in hand, I'm good either way, as I've never actually needed the third.

The advantage for me in the third party chargers is that they have additional 12v inputs, so are simpler to use in the RV. Much lower drain than an inverter.

I have the Progo charger, but was wondering if either could do double-duty in a 
pinch.

I have no clue about the other way around. "Should" work, but who knows until you try. I can't imagine it would harm the Oly battery.
