When I remember the Nikon battery recall it was kind of reassuring
that Nikon stood behind their batteries as well as their cameras.
Somehow there was no news report on their supplier recalling batteries
or companies using the same supplier recalling batteries. If your
third party battery overheats and melts some plastic or worse on your
very expensive camera will the camera manufacturer stand behind it?
People will buy third party insurance policies for their cameras but
save $20 on a look alike battery. Makes no sense to me at all. Cheap
insurance.
