Subject: [Leica] Bad luck with Hong Kong battery

After both Dr. Ted and Tina said that they had had good experiences 
with M8/9 batteries from Hong Kong, I ordered one. I charged up that 
battery and put it in a drawer. A month later, I put it in the Leica 
and found that it was dead. OK, I thought, a month is quite a while, 
though Li ion batteries are not supposed to leak current. I recharged 
it and put it in the camera. Two days later, it was deader than a 
doornail.

I guess I got a lemon. Will have to order another one or two; damned 
if I'll pay Leica's price.
