Battery backup options

[ePIC]

What's your opinion on generic backup batteries? They're so much cheaper than the ones that you can buy from the original company that I'm tempted.

I've never tried it because I've always been afraid it would get too hot and damage my camera. I guess you have to weigh whether the risk is worth it.

I bought a generic battery off of Amazon for my laptop, and it worked just fine. I don't think it lasted as long though. Even with that in mind, the price deferential made it worth it in the end.
