Yeah man, that is not the stock battery. Don't EVER use that shop again. You are very, very, very lucky to have a working camera under warranty.
It's no surprise, however, that people continue to use these crooked stores when magazines continue to let them advertise in them. I would file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau regarding the battery just for the hell of it. As others have said, the accessories you got are likely junk. I would be very careful about the filters in particular. I wouldn't put anything near the lens of your new camera that might not be kosher.
No one is trying to make you feel silly here, either. Enjoy your camera, don't put much stock in your extended warranty and have fun! Just stick with a reputable store from here forward and sleep a little easier as a result.
