Thanks for that link. Here is the translate version

I have not had great luck with non-OEM batteries. Without proper control 
circuits to protect the battery and the charging process, it is easy to 
over-charge a battery, which will reduce its life and run the risk of fire. 
This risk increases with the age of the battery, or in a case where the battery 
has been nearly fully discharged.
