Has anyone used these that can offer up an opinion?

Here's what I'm talking about.

I know you can get the 5600's through the forums here for $79... but you could get three of the ebay one's for the price of one of those.
 
I actually have 2 DVX User 5600's but I ordered a 6000 mah battery from ebay 2 days ago to go with the Varizoom LED light I'm ordering tonight. I don't know if the battery I bought was any good, but I only paid 30 bucks for it and I have my 2 DVX User batts and the panasonic 5400 so if it does not work out I won't be too upset. If it works good i might buy another at that price. Here is the one I bought.

I'm trying to order batteries off of ebay too, but for whatever reason I ordered three times from THREE different sellers with high ratings and none of them actually shipped me the battery. All of them gave prompt refunds, but this is really pissing me off.
 
I got an email from the seller of my battery stating that it has been shipped. I hope it's true.
 
I have about four similar batteries through ebay.co.uk (5600).

Have to say they have worked a treat and are one hell of a bargain. I have been using them for most of this year and only get through about a battery and a half per cam for wedding shoots. LCD is out for most of the duration as well.

Did get one duff one which was replaced very quickly.

Think i calculated you get about about 6 or seven of them for the price of one panasonic. crazy.

I'm considering buying a cheap ebay battery also. I've read about the warnings about random voltage, possible explosion, etc., but after searching these threads and ebay feedback, I can't find anyone who has actually had a bad experience with these cheap ebay batteries. Please share your horror stories, if any.
