Subject: [Leica] M8 batteries after 1.201 firmware

i have one of these 1700mAh off-brands and an m8 with v1.201 firmare.
the battery goes into the m8 showing 3 bricks (full) but loses
about 1 brick per 20 shots and is blinking hollow by 68.
then i turned the m8 off and back on and the thing showed all 
full again.  odd.

can't say for certain if this is the result of v1.201 or not, 
since i only recently tried the camera on a long weekend 
vacation.
