Whats you guys opinion on non oem batteries?
It's not necessarily about shooting the life out of your battery in one sitting. It's just nice not having to wait for a battery to charge while you want to be out taking pictures.
So im new to all this photography thing... My previous camera was my iphone and a 15MP point to shoot camera I just purchased a D7100 the kit that comes with the 18-105 lens, i also purchased 2 32GB sandisk extreme memory (45 ones), and got a case for it i want to mostly take family picures, like at the beach, cruise, party, etc, etc...
So what else do i need? some one recommended an extre lens 50mm f1.8g or 35mm f1.8g... So what you guys think? Anything else i need?

It only takes an hour or so to fully charge a battery pack. Just pop it in the charger before bedtime or while you're eating breakfast.

Arghhh Fine!
You don't need a second battery pack it's a waste of time, money and resources.
But you should invest in a inverter for the car just in case.
If you're heading out on a vacation and you won't have an option to pick anything else up, start shooting now and get some practice in
Since you have the 18-105, I'm thinking the 50mm 1.8G would be the way to go for another lens... and then don't buy anything else until you know what you're doing and you figure out what you want.
Off the top of my head, 3 things can and will go wrong.I really can't see needing an extra battery for chasing the family around the house or beach. I mean the factory battery is good for a 1000 shots? I run around town at night taking long exposures (30sec or longer) with my D7100 all the time which drains battery power and never need a second battery. If you got the extra cash, go for it but if you don't, use that money on good solid comfortable camera strap. Chances are you're going to use that strap more than a spare battery...at least until you start taking 200-300/30sec star trail shots.
Somebody asked about 3rd party batteries: Wasabi Power EN-EL15 can be found on Amazon.com for $24. A great batter at 1/2 the OEM price... highly recommended.
