Gold battery, lol. Type BL-5J clearly meant to sound genuine.

Some 3party batteries don't have the very important built-in protection circuit, for example. So, without knowing for certain, I won't trust them. But that's just me

Yup. Using any third party battery voids your warranty.

Although sometimes you need to resort to unofficial solutions like Badcaps.net I'd not do this with new device under warranty with a good battery. Instead, buy a second official battery, or buy a 3rd party battery when your primary battery has gone bad, or wait for a battery with a brand name and good track record (and therefore good name to defend) such as Mugen.
