About batteries that you can use with this camera
It has been found that counterfeit batteries which look very similar to the
genuine product are available in some markets. Some of these batteries are
not adequately equipped with internal protection to meet the requirements
of appropriate safety standards. Using such batteries may lead to fire or
explosion. Please be advised that Leica Camera AG is not liable for any accident
or failure occurring as a result of use of a counterfeit battery. To ensure that
safe products are used we urgently recommend to use only the Leica battery
BP-DC15 (→13).
