Reading through this thread there are warnings regarding non OEM batteries and while I understand my experience has been very different. The only batteries I've had problems with were OEM batteries and both were Canon.

I've bought non OEM batteries for every camera I've owned beginning in 2007 and never had a single problem. Until recently I purchased only Wasabi brand and they've been very reliable. They seem to last as long as the OEM batteries but I've not actually counted the number of photos for OEM and non OEM.

I was gifted these batteries with charger and I've had no problem with them. If I had to chose a battery that takes more photos it seems to be these. It may have to do with the USB charger which takes much longer to charge then the OEM charger.

Yeah, as I wrote in a concurrent thread, I've had great luck with all of my batteries thus far (knock on wood!). There's a list there of a lot of them...

However in the RC sport (Radio Controlled vehicles), the batteries get the snot beat out of them. Puffing up is a regular occurrence (esp the LiPo chemistry) due to hard use and hard charging. Fortunately I haven't had any Li-ion mishaps, but I do charge all my RC batts on a ceramic plate away from anything flammable.
