Oem Batteries
What is the difference between OEM and Generic digital camera Li-Ion batteries?
I see ads for "generic (non-OEM) Compatible Li-Ion Batteries" costing about $16 compared with the manufacture's batteries costing $40+.
There must be a significant quality difference. Right?
As someone said, OEM, means the battery is made by your camera manufacturer and for your specific camera.
In short, of course you pay some premium for brand name when you get OEM, but that's not the only difference. OEM batteries usually have some circuitry to prevent overheating, overcharging or voltage spikes, they also communicate with the camera to report charge level and other parameters. While generic batteries may tell the camera about the charge, they could miss other things, etc.
I answered a similar question in more details regarding a specific type of battery, but it all applies to most other generic vs. OEM cases, so please take a minute and read my answer here:
