Hi,
I just bought an Oly C-8080 camera and am now looking into accesories. I'd like to pick up an extra battery or two but am not sure what to buy. An original Oly battery runs $40+ and I have seen off-brand batteries as low as $10. Do the off brand batteries work as well ??? Is there any risk in buying them ???
The original battery has specs of 7.2v and 1500 mah. I have seen replacement batteries with the exact same specs and also some that are 7.4v and 1700 mah. Is there any risk using a battery with the higher voltage and amps ?
Please let me know if anyone out there has had any problems with off brand batteries or if you have any words of wisdom about the subject. Thank you.
