Canon G9 X (G9x) third party battery NB-13L warning thoughts?

I just picked up the Canon G9x for its tiny size and 1" sensor. I do like the camera but do not like the NB-13L battery warning when using generic 3rd party batteries. I have a battery I bought from Ebay that I used without problem in the G7x. On the G9x I must dance through two warning screens but the battery then works fine. As seen on other forums, here is what is displayed on the camera with my answers:

Battery communication error. Does this battery display the Canon logo? NO

Canon does not guarantee the performance or safety of this battery. Continue use? YES

My question is has anyone found a third party battery that does not display these warnings? I do not like the slow down of having to double click the screen every time when using the generic battery but am too cheap to pay $50 for the OEM battery.

Any thoughts?

Thank you
