It has been found that counterfeit batteries which look very similar to the genuine
product are made available to purchase in some markets. Some of these batteries are
not adequately protected with internal protection to meet the requirements of
appropriate safety standards. There is a possibility that these 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
