guys, any one of you using octopus battery for ur a55 or a33? does it have any compatible issue? i emailed one of the seller for this battery, he also not dare to gurantee it. He said that Sony makes their product in such a way that you are forced to buy original Sony accessories.Sony users are always facing difficulties with third party accessories. In the end, they will go back to buy original sony products. Even for Sony DVDplayer, always find it very hard to read "pirated" DVDs, this is the problemwith Sony products. 
i received my 3rd party battery from hk..it does come out the message 'does not compatible with this model' occasionaly .. after take out battery, put it back and switch on, the message gone .... but really inconvenience 
.. 
and who know this way wont solve the problem in certain emergency hour ? guess the original battery is the way 
i did bought Octopus battery for my a380. Performance quite good, can match with Sony original battery. Just 1 problem, camera is not able to accurately show the battery level on the camera display, in other words, although battery level is left 2 bars, the camera can be turn off due to battery exhausted. Other than this problem, the battery work flawlessly. and bear in mind, a Sony original battery = 3 and half Octopus battery i received my 3rd party battery from hk..it does come out the message 'does not compatible with this model' occasionaly .. after take out battery, put it back and switch on, the message gone
.... but really inconvenience .. and who know this way wont solve the problem in certain emergency hour ? guess the original battery is the way
