Me too. The original batteries that came with my M8 still work better 
than any off-brand battery I've bought.
Even an off-brand *charger* died on me. Sheesh. The Leica batteries and 
chargers cost twice as much but last much more than twice as long. I 
need to muster the emotional strength to get rid of my dead ones.
