[Leica] M8 battery

[vick.ko at sympatico.ca (vick.ko at sympatico.ca)]

Pros for non-Leica:

- dirt cheap

- some actually work fine


Cons:

- some didn't register with the body's battery meter (i.e. showed "dead" but 
was actually working)

- be sure to check the "mah" milli-amp.hour rating, and the precise voltage. 
 Make sure it matches Leica's specs.  

- you will feel like you washed $100 down the drain, if you wash a Leica 
battery in the laundry like I did.  Worked fine after except it wouldn't 
register on the M8 meter, just like my off-brand battery.
