Hi, all. While browsing our local specialised IT shops here yesterday, I chanced upon a few shops selling purportedly OEM Fuji batteries rated at 6000mAh battery for the X-A1!
Has anyone seen or used similar such high capacity ones? The shop assistant popped it into a HS35EXR and HS50EXR and showed it in action - and it fits the same into a X-M1 (took a few shots) too. But, I didn't buy it when I realised that it is 5 times more powerful than the standard 1260mAh Fujifilm battery and he made me uncomfortable. He claims it can last 5 times longer than the standard battery, and on the packaging it says "No memory effect". I didn't buy it in the end because the Sales guy was very pushy, dropped the price from a high $80 to $60 then $50 and I felt uncomfortable with the whole affair. But another shop that I glanced by also sold the same OEM battery from Japan.
May I confirm the existence of such OEM batteries truly exist (not a scam that it is rated at 6000mAh) and any possible side effects?
Many thanks in advance (I have 2 batteries, but I heard of people running around with 4 or 5 due to the battery life for extended shoots).
