Many guys in the wedding forum are getting defects on lenses because of the use of 3rd party batteries.
The voltages are not as well controlled as the Nikon batteries, and IMO it's not worth the risk. If you had a D7000 series or a D600 series and cheap glass, go ahead. But when you are using 200 2.0's, 105's and many other high-quality pieces of glass with sensitive electronics, it's best to just go with reliability over cheapness.
Batteries are fairly cheap anyways. You only need 2 or 3 with 1 extra per used body.
Having quite a bit of experience with electronics, even slightly higher voltages than what the electronics are meant to run with can be very damaging!...Show more →
I'm not sure how much I believe that, not saying you are a liar or anything. Typical IC circuits run at 5V and the low power stuff at 3.3V, especially something with space is a premium like in a lens. The main battery is 7.0-7.4V so that means there's a voltage regulating circuitry somewhere in the body to reduce the voltage. So I don't see where higher voltage is allowed to get to the components in a lens, let alone the body.
Voltage regulation in sensitive electronics like a DSLR is very critical and I'm sure the manufacturing has designed some good voltage regulation circuitry.
