About batteries that you can use with this camera
It has been found that counterfeit batteries which look very similar to the
genuine product are available in some markets. Some of these batteries are
not adequately protected with internal circuitry to meet the requirements of
appropriate safety standards. There is a possibility that these batteries may
lead to fire or explosion. Please be advised that Leica Camera AG is not liable
for any accident or failure occurring as a result of use of a counterfeit battery.
To ensure that safe products are used we urgently recommend to use only the
Leica battery BP-DC10 (→8).
