Much discussion and many opinions about batteries. This is an old subject I have seen many times. The only thing I can say for sure is don't ever use your tounge to check the charge in your battery, OEM or aftermarket.

Boy we had a long debate and discussion here before on this topic. In conclusion, folks are using aftermarket batteries with good results, and saving money. One popular brand was Wasabi. Hey most of these OEM and aftermarket batteries come out if China, and could very well be from the same plants with just different labeling, who knows.

I have great success using OEM and aftermarket batteries in my Sony cameras without any problems. BTW the charging and length of battery power was comparable between the OEM Sonys and the Wasabi in my case. Cheers

There are several reports listed that confirm that over the long haul OEM batteries deliver better value on cost per frame. So much for aftermarket batteries. This report included Wasabi.

Back to getting what you pay for.

I have tried Wasabi Batteries in my Fujifilm XT 1 with mixed results. They tend to swell and be difficult to extract. I will be buying only OEM batteries on into the future. I advise not to risk it. If you do, remove the batteries When the camera is not in use.

I think the cases on non OEM batteries account for this and the lighter weight.
