There could be an issue with these batteries if you are using them...

Good post.
I recall reading recently about a problem with counterfeit batteries causing damage, I think they were exploding. Maybe it was cell phones. The mind isn't what it used to be. |

Yeah - thanks John
The real alternative (and Nikon do charge a premium for their EN-EL1'a) is to go for a reputable photographic chain's copies - they'll pretty much be the same thing but cheaper.

Yeah, it was a problem with 3rd party batteries in Nokia phones. Nokia made a lot of noise about it of course, then reports came in of similar/same problems with Nokia batteries. |

Jessops in the UK sell BP-511 batteries (for Canon EOS-series and some G-series) with higher capacity than the originals - I use two of each in my battery grip, and I haven't noticed much difference either way. But for the price of two Canon batteries, I bought three Jessops batteries! (I've lost one since, but that's a different story).
Extra good cause my DV-cam (Canon MV-600i) takes the same batteries ;)
