Adorama D2h battery- any good?

[jorgemonkey]

I just picked up a D2h, and I'm looking for an extra battery. Nikon's battery is about $99, while Adorama has their own generic one:

for $50. I know Nikons battery has a chip for their advanced battery management or whatever they call it, but I care about will the battery work when I need it to! Thanks!

I'm very wary of third party batteries ever since the exploding batteries that plagued 3rd party replacements for the D70/100/50 batteries. I personally only use Nikon batteries as a result, and I recall reading, but won't stand by it as fact, that Nikon will not repair under warranty if a 3rd party batt causes a problem with the camera.

Honestly I'd think you're better off with a Nikon batt...actually, shoot me a PM, I've got a spare that i'm going to upgrade to the new version...
