Sony V mount or cheap Chinese battery?

[swaneon]

I plan on getting a battery system to power the blackmsgic cinema
currently I bought this

And getting either the 12v or 15v adapter plate but then I came across this

I was wondering if I should return the song vmount and get a few of those instead?

I would always use a genuine replacement battery - or one from a reputable company like PAG or the like.

Every cheap Chinese battery I have tried has low capacity and fails pretty fast and, in the long run, works out more expensive than the real thing.
