Third party batteries for the HMC

[NEEL]

Does anybody have longterm experience with third party batteries for the HMC?

Here are some I found doing a quick research:

I have the IDX, works great but no numerical time remaining indicator. Talked about it here: http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/showthread.php?t=174439&highlight=battery

I would not buy from a third-party unless it has an established reputation.

Both of these are popular 3rd party brands... there really isn't many others.

Thanks! actually my expertise is lithium battery, but sometimes third-party gets cheap battery from my native China and repacks them and sells for a ridiculous amount of money! I will have faith in fellow videographer here if they are happy!
