I've had good luck with the Wasabi batteries sold from Amazon.com. $29 for two batteries and a charger.A question please
I would like to buy more batteries[spares], but i was thinking if i can buy it from ebay, any experience here about it? Like how long it takes for shipping? And how genuine is the battery? Price?
I saw that, another member from another site linked me to that, but i was thinking more about original or say OEM one than 3rd party even it is very good excellent product.I've had good luck with the Wasabi batteries sold from Amazon.com. $29 for two batteries and a charger.

And that is why i asked this question, i was looking for only OEM battery, i placed that on B&H 1 week ago, but i didn't pull the trigger to buy yet as i have other items to fill and also waiting for budget, now the budget is available and the items i want to buy are also filled, but still i don't want to go with more than 1 battery yet for that price, and if you are telling me that those ads on eBay are mostly spams then i prefer to avoid, even they are so cheap but i better save it for OEM Genuine one than cheaper more quantity and not sure they are genuine ones.Tareq,
I don't recommend buying other than the OEM Lithium-Ion batteries for any camera. The battery for the a7/a7R is a $39 item from B&H. Lithium-Ion batteries are nasty little devils and I don't trust any advertised on eBay unless OEM from a reputable retailer. YMMV.

Seems to be a nice and inspiring place to work, Matt.From my office deck.

I have two OEM batteries and two Wasabi. I've been testing them, comparing their charge longevity and such. They are identical, far as I can tell. It's up to you to spend nearly 3x as much for Sony branded batteries if that's what makes you comfortable, never mind the 'free' charger thrown in. I understand the comfort issue.. Sometimes it's worth it. I don't think it is in this case, but that's me.I saw that, another member from another site linked me to that, but i was thinking more about original or say OEM one than 3rd party even it is very good excellent product.

I may go with one from B&H now, and later i save more and buy another 1 or 2 if needed, i am planning to buy more SD cards which i have only one new i bought, so later i want to buy more than i can think to buy one more battery, just i hope i don't regret i passed those cheap choices on eBay if they work flawlessly as well, and even that of Wasabi sounds working perfectly i still don't want to buy 3rd party or non-OEM batteries.
