Steve, I wasn't suggesting a general theory. I merely indicated my own
experience. It follows from my experience that OEM batteries/battery
grips are preferable.

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
