   they don't lock batteries.   
      
   *any* battery can be used.   
      
   the problem is that many batteries overstate their health status so   
   that they appear to be better than they actually are. providing false   
   information is not helpful to the user, so unless the battery can be   
   authenticated as genuine, that information (and only that information)   
   is not displayed. *everything* else works as expected.   
      
   this has been explained to you before.
