I am curious as to how Nikon can stop aftermarket batteries from being used in their cameras. If a battery manufacturer makes a battery for a specific Nikon camera and it fits and works, what is Nikon going to do, send out an electric signal making the camera reject that battery? I don't think so. Nikon may not like aftermarket batteries being used in their cameras but I am not sure they can do much to stop the practice.

If a chip is put in the camera to recognize the battery they can certainly program it to shut down if a generic battery is installed. Of course some company will find a word-around.
