Sony NP-FZ 100 Batteries, Fraud copies or Original?

I bought two of these batteries from eBay, but now I am hearing alarms go off as something does not seem right.
If these are copies then they are the best I have seen so far but does anyone know for sure if they are?


The tell-tale signs for me are –

*They have the same serial numbers.
*The hologram does not show when turned at a 45-degree angle - left and right where the original ones are supposed to.
*Holograms have 5 dots on each one, bad manufacturing.
*Holograms also displaying strange symbols – I cannot display them as YouTube will not allow angled bracket symbols for some strange reason?



I am concerned as these batteries are to be used with a Sony A1 and I do not want to void the warranty even if they are advertised as original Sony NP-FZ100.
I am seeing these batteries being sold and turning up in large numbers not only on eBay, but also on Amazon, Alibaba, and even unscrupulous sellers on the high street.


Are there any Sony battery specialists out there and if so, what is their professional opinion?




Thanks in advance.
