    Question 3rd party battery e-500 blm-1

    I'm thinking about buying some 3rd party batterys for my new E-500. What I'm wondering is if they can damage my camera and if they are any good. I've seen them on ebay from around $8 to $25.

    And another thing will it void my warrenty?

    Hi,

    Yes they can damage your camera.
    Here's some information about clone batteries

    I have a clone for my E-300 from aboutbatteries.com which seems to be OK, although I tend not to leave it in the camera for long lengths of time.

    Hope this helps.
    Kind Regards.
