Now before anyone says "DO a Google search", I have tried that with little success, and here on the Hog, it seems the last post addressing the problem was from ~ 2017.
I have a "famous name" manual for my D 7500, which states that the author could not get any 3rd party battery to work in the D 7500.(?)
I replaced my alleged "factory" battery with a 3rd party unit...one of a pair my wife gave me a couple of Christmases ago, "just to see". So far, so good...it hasn't let out any of the Magic Smoke that makes our cameras work so well.
I have more than a half-dozen batteries, obtained from different sources, and for some reason, I have kept those for my D 7100 separate from the others. I am wondering if they all might not power both of my cameras with no problems? If I load a battery, and the "battery status" window reads 100% charged, and age as new, the battery should work just fine, right?
I have 3 EN-EL 15s,(no suffix) 2 Ravpowers, An EN-EL 15b, and a no-name CX-EN-EL15. I'm not sure if any one of them are "genuine" Nikons. They look good, but the differences between "genuine" and "fake" are so small, and manufacturers are surely smart enough to correct the flaws in the years since 2017. OR?
As needed, I plan to replace the batteries, hopefully with Nikon units, but other than from Nikon, which are co$tly, how can a person be sure of getting the genuine article from a local camera store or on line?
