Hi! I have an Olympus cam which uses a lithium ion 42B proprietary battery. Anyway, since I don’t like the idea of having just one battery pack, especially for long trips, I saved up for another one. Unfortunately, the nearest convenience store only sold a generic one. It’s made by this company called SDV. The dealer gave me their website: http://www.swisscophoto.com.sg/battery.htm

Anyway, just would like to know if there are any negative effects of putting non-Olympus batteries in an Olympus cam? I mean I’ll only use this as backup (i.e. when my primary runs out of juice and at least my camera stays active while it’s being charged) so I already know that it won’t be as powerful as an original battery.
Other disadvantages?
Thanks
