Stop The Third Party Battery Warnings?

[ddegner]

Are there any good tricks to remove the "The operation and safety of this battery cannot be guaranteed. Continue use?" warning with third party batteries?

Let's step back from the rage inducing logic that Sony took the time and effort to make their product worse via firmware, and share any tips.

First, the main screen now blocks out the battery percentage, but you can still see it by hitting the "focus assist" zoom-in button.

Anyone else?  Are there any 3rd party batteries that now work without the warnings?

Anyone know third party batteries have the chip to get around these lockouts?

Didn't know about this. I usually buy original batteries when they're on sale on Amazon or similar places, but third party batteries do seem like a very nice option, considering that sometimes you can get 2 even 3 for the price of just one Sony.
I take care of my equipment a lot, and I do prefer to use the original ones, but didn't really know about this warnings, that is indeed very annoying.
How do they perform comparing those with the OGs?
Sorry if this is not helpful at the end.

There is no work around that I know of. You can still use the battery, just have to click ok to acknowledge that the performance is not guaranteed. It should only pop-up once every time you turn on the camera.

These are regulatory warnings. They have to be there when using non-OEM electrical parts. Sony doesn't manage or regulate third-party designs and quality control, thus requiring extra precautions from the user in the form of this warning message.

From my humble experience as a previous power plant engineer, third-party electrical parts are a risk that is never worth it for electronics. You might save $20-$40, but the damage can be in the thousands, and a lot more if a fire starts. With original batteries, you can hold the manufacturer liable for damages from defective equipment. You might remember the Galaxy Note 4 battery incidents (and the pain we go through at airports thanks to them).
