Batteries for GH-1

I have one hong kong $12 battery and one 'from-the-US, cells made in japan' $25 battery waiting for mondays delivery of the cam. Will report after being the guinea pig.
 
Hi guys

I am looking to buy genuine battery from B&H but realised the US model number is DMW-BLB13 whilst the Europe and Australian is DMW-BLB13E. After asking the question B&H recon that it may be different ampage which Pana doesn't recomend in risk of buring out the camera.

Has any EU or OZ buyers bought the Non *E model for their PAL cameras?

I did see that all the 3rd party suppliers say their batt is compatible with both models but then you can only use theirs if the firmware isn't 1.1.
 
yeah the specs are identical, and even the AU Pana site says the model is DMW-BLB13 not DMW-BLB13E so Pana has some explaining to do.
