D800/E - Pearstone Batteries - Any Good?

My D800, bought in December, also came with a Pearstone battery. It charged OK and seems to power the camera OK but I found that in the Battery info menu item, the No. of Shots since last charge counter never got above about 5. It kept gratuitously resetting to zero. Searching on the Internet I found this not an uncommon problem. I lost confidence in it at that point. I still have it but probably won't use it much. You hear about battery overheating issues with lithium batteries etc. I just bought another Nikon battery.
