Sure they could.... If I am correct that the non-OEM batteries are really
off spec batteries from Leica production, then they too would contain the
chip.....
The Catch 22 in the small OEM world......
Scaring the wits out of users is cheaper, has no code bugs, and is as
effective... Look at the responses we are getting here!
Guys, it is a battery, not a Nuclear Power Plant!

I know they could imbed a read-only chip in the battery for identifying
same. I'm just convinced that they are not doing that. In fact, I regard the
idea as ridiculous. Furthermore, it would not take a genius to counterfeit
such a chip if they had done that.
