Subject: [Leica] My last aftermarket battery just died

I have 3 genuine Leica batteries for my M8 and all are still working just 
fine.  I bought my M8 4 months after they hit the stores, bought the 2 extra 
batteries with the M8.  I guess I have gotten my moneys worth out of them.

Cheers,
Gene

If you paid $10 each and you went through a dozen, then you just broke even 
vs the $120 battery. If you paid $15, which is more likely, then you would 
have been ahead with the $120 battery. No brainer: get the genuine one.

P.S. I had to pay $135, if I remember correctly. Where do you get them for 
$120?

Question authority and the authorities will question you.
