All of the grief that Leica has inflicted on their loyal customers, and the batteries being the straw that is breaking the back of the faithful is funny to see as an outsider.
You'd think SL3 bodies just randomly wiping memory cards or M6 reissues scratching film would have been the big stinks. I have a feeling that all the same people that have complained about any of these issues (or batteries) will try to be first in line for the EVF M though.
Do OEM batteries not exist?
OEM batteries are made by Leica, which is what I’m talking about. If you're referring to third-party replacements, they don't exist for Leica M cameras.
I do believe there are third party batteries for Leica M9, I had looked if it existed when I bought my M-E type 220, just in case I would need one, I was afraid the OG ones would be too old even if unused on top of being scarce and pricey as hell.
I don’t know for the other models, but since I ponder of one day buying a M10, it would be nice for a not so old camera to be able to power it for sure.
