I don't think that saving few pennies on the battery and then accidentally having to deal with the issues that may arise is worth it.
hmmm, this sounds like a truism - issues may arise either way, so i don't think buying brand names is a clear predictor of risk; and it's not just "pennies" so there's an opportunity cost - on what else of greater benefit could the difference in cost be spent?
in my case the two ebay batteries i bought last November have been problem free and the capacity difference is not evident in moderate use; as i mentioned then, their rated capacity is 1400mAh, or 75% of OEM; capacity was not my goal - i rarely ran my one battery down, but i wanted to have a spare to carry and a third to allow for when one is charging; for a net price of about $5 each, i met my goal and saved about $80
the seller was "power-alternatives", but no D-Li90s in stock currently; those for whom higher capacity *is* the goal might consider the 2800mAh models going for $8.50 each right now on eBay
