Spend an hour or two at a busy SE service centre and see how many people come in with phones damaged by leaky/melting/exploding batteries. I did and it was an eye opener.
As previously indicated, you may get a decent off-brand battery, but you are more likely to get a crappy one.

It takes about 40 minutes to charge my HBH-600 from empty red to full green.
But will something "bad" happends if i don't take it "off" charge?
(I have obviously a little brain - 'cause i sometimes forget to take the charger off when i go to bed....)

blackspot, yes the current LiPols we use now are hybrids... but they are more stable than LiIons which have been known to explode due to their gas emissions.
rufo, no, nothing bad will happen... your headset switches to 'trickle mode' when the battery is fully charged.
The big difference between a quality battery and a cheap knock-off is voltage stability and heat tolerance.
Poor chemicals and materials will cause voltage irregularities that can damage sensitive electronic devices. They also don't have the same charge cycle capacity so they will die sooner than oem batteries. Not to mention the safety hazard they pose since some of them don't seal their chemical components in properly. These may leak out and corrode your phone, cause a fire, or explode.

So if russian roulette is one of your favorite hobbies, be sure to get a knock-off battery as well  |
