Will my phone's warranty
be void if I use an accessory manufactured by another company?
If the accessory causes a problem with the phone, then the warranty
is void. Many second party accessory suppliers and manufacturers reduce
the cost of the accessories by eliminating safety circuitry, reducing
strength, increasing tolerances and trying to use off-the-shelf components.
Some accessory suppliers offer to pay for the cost of repair if their
accessories cause the problem with the phone. Mitsubishi has tried
to reduce the cost of accessories the last several years to discourage
the use of second party accessories. Mitsubishi Wireless Communications
Inc. (MWCI) does not endorse any second party accessories.

Are second source (non-Mitsubishi) battery packs as good as Mitsubishi's?
Some are and some aren't. The heart of a battery pack is the cells inside.
In order to save money, the cell manufacturer supplies these cells without
labeling them. The consumer can't really see who the cell manufacturer
is or the rating on the cells. Most second source cell manufacturers
will meet the cell's specifications, but the following should be considered:
A. How long is shelf life? If you can fully charge a battery pack,
leave it set without using it for 72 hours (at normal room temperature),
then use it and still get the same talk times/standby times, chances
are it has good shelf life.
B. Durability is how many times the battery can be charged and
discharged. Each charge/discharge cycle will deteriorate the capacity
somewhat. There's not a real good test you can do to determine this.
This is where the reputation of the manufacturer plays an important
part.
C. Capacity is the amount of charge a battery pack can hold.
