Does anyone know the risks of using non-OEM batteries?

The DRM engages and instantly incinerates your Steam library. Not just the downloaded games.

I think you're thinking of the Switch lol

Nah, nah, nah. If you use non-genuine parts in a Switch, a group of well-dressed Japanese men arrive at your door. I've never seen one of these visitees again to find out what happens after.

The risk is it going "spicy pillow" rapidly.

I recently had a lipo go nuclear on me (full spontaneous fireball), so I'm currently a bit risk adverse on rechargable lithium batteries right now.

Maybe there is ram on the batteries? /S
