That's not to say it's impossible, but is it likely? Surely if it was a genuine problem there would be plenty of threads about it happening with first hand experience being quoted. After all, when things go wrong the Internet is normally the first place people head to to vent their anger. On another note, when I bought my car it came with an expensive manufacturer recommended battery in it. Since then I have added a cheapy replacement battery when it was time for a new one. No damage so far although the manufacturer and the dealer obviously recommend I only use their expensive battery to avoid damage. Thing is, they can't refuse my warranty in the uk for me not using their battery. Further to that, it's unlikely I'll need to as again there's little evidence of such problems actually happening. Now I agree that your increasing the chance of poor quality if you buy a £5 battery from a seller in china on eBay, but if you stick to decent third party names I'd suggest using a non-official battery shouldn't be too much of a risk.</blockquote>
