It was only a matter of time. In reality, as long as the OEM batteries are
reasonably priced there is no need for a secondary market of cheep
imitations. But as history shows, without the secondary market of cheep
imitations OEM batteries are overpriced.
I bought two imitation BLM-1 batteries for my E-1. There was no way I was
going to spend something like $70 apiece at the time when I could get the
imitations for half the price.
That said, I will acknowledge that the OEM has been a better performer and
the aftermarket ones are starting to deteriorate in performance.
