Lithium-ion batteries can explode and catch fire. The only two batteries i trust are Panasonic and DVXuser batteries. I went with the DVXuser batts due to the excellent user feedback & I saved a 100 bucks.

The batteries on ebay are tempting due to the low cost, but you really don't know what your putting on your camera IMHO.

I used eBay batteries for my DVX all the time back in the day. I personally never had a problem.

I have owned three of the Ebay batteries for the last two years. They have about 80% of the stamina of an original battery for less than a quarter of the price. The fit may be slightly looser, but the connection is just fine. I have been very pleased with them.
