LI-90B Compatibility Chart: 13 Bodies and the Models That Do Not Fit

The LI-90B covers 13 bodies, from the Tough TG-1 to the Stylus XZ-10; the most common buying mistake is not capacity but boundary cases such as TG-3 → TG-7 / LI-92B. The table below lists every compatible body by series, followed by the models that take a different cell. Always trust the marking on the camera or in the battery compartment: similar-looking packs are not necessarily interchangeable, and LI-90B / LI-92B should still be checked against the contacts and firmware of your body.

By CIPA standard the TG-6 delivers about 340 shots per charge (250–300 / 0°C 70%). Real-world figures fall with viewfinder use, bursts, flash and low temperature, so budgeting around 70% of the rating is safer.

One important clarification: the original LI-90B is rated 1270mAh and its successor LI-92B 1350mAh. Both share the same shell and contacts, and OM System confirms the LI-92B works in every LI-90B body; the UC-90 and UC-92 chargers accept both. The TG-1 and TG-2 shipped with an LI-90B, while the TG-3 through TG-7 shipped with an LI-92B — but all of them accept the LI-90B specification.

Full compatibility list

All 13 bodies below accept the LI-90B or a cell from the same family, grouped by series. “Compatible” means the compartment and contacts match; it does not guarantee that older bodies can exploit the full capacity of a high-capacity pack.

Which models do not fit

This is where search results most often mislead. Packs with similar names and near-identical shells frequently belong to entirely different systems, and forcing one in can damage the compartment.

How to check before ordering

The reliable check is the model printed on the bottom of the body or inside the battery compartment, matched against this list. On a used camera, also confirm that a previous owner has not swapped the battery door.

To pick by model, start with the specifications and stock status on Olympus LI-90B 1100mAh, then browse the full article set in LI-90B; if your body belongs to a neighbouring system, NP-BX1 has the side-by-side explanation.

FAQ

How many bodies take the LI-90B?

Our list contains 13 bodies, from the Tough TG-1 to the Stylus XZ-10. It is grouped by series, but still check the body marking, since a later generation in the same line can switch cells.

Is the LI-90B interchangeable with neighbouring models?

LI-90B / LI-92B shares one shell and contact layout, so those cells fit each other. However, TG-3 → TG-7 / LI-92B, and those bodies need their own cell — never judge by shape alone.

Will every body on the list benefit from higher capacity?

All of them run normally, but older bodies set their cutoff and fuel gauge to the original specification, so extra shots do not scale linearly and the percentage may read conservatively.

How do I confirm which cell to buy?

Read the model on the bottom plate or inside the battery compartment and match it against this list. If the marking includes a suffix or a “for use with” note, follow the manual rather than the capacity figure.
