I'm still using two Leica batteries and four Hong Kong batteries. All
work fine and indicate correctly with 1.201. The Hong Kong batteries
($19.00 per pair, including shipping) seem to have about 10 to 15%
more capacity than the Leica batteries.
Everything works well, and the AWB is now a lot better than on any
other digital camera I have used.
