If your trying to decide between a knock off vs. an "official" garmin battery, I would probably stick with garmin. Battery life in some garmin units is not the best compared to others, so putting an copy cat may be a frustrating idea for even shorter battery life. However if there is company that has a better and pushes it out further I would go that rout. Don't think that does exist though.
I am just throwing out what I would do. I would stick with factory I guess.
What price savings do you get with the ebay vs. official?
