I wonder if Nikon and others have circuits in thier devices that if the required battery does not have a certain chip in it, that it blows them up??
Batteries are frickin getting as bad as ink jet carts. For my Amateur Radio HT, the Yaseu battery costs like 80 bucks, but if you crack it open, it just has 3-4 Li-Ion AA sized cells in it. Is Li-Ion that expensive?? Somehow, I doubt it.
