This is like printers.if you don't replace the ink with original stuff the printer won't work.that is illegal
There is is class action lawsuit against this this printer company. By the way,they also make camaras.whats the deal.you can buy a printer for $80.00and when the ink runs out it'll cost you $75.00 for the ink.in 6 months or less your ink will disappear even if you don't use the printer. where did it go you ask.well the printer uses it to clean or clear the print head.i did not know till a year or two ago.

Please keep us posted on this one. I bought a ProMaster EN-EL18 replacement at my camera store as a spare when Nikon batteries were not available and it was all that was in stock. It was fine at first, but now doesn't charge past 98%. This means that it doesn't reset the picture count, and probably is not counting charge cycles (or however it keeps track of battery age). It works fine and without error, but discharges much faster than my Nikon batteries (even the older, non-revision ones) whether under load or just sitting in the camera. The interesting thing is that the store was selling it at the same price that they normally charge for Nikon batteries, which is discounted from the list price but higher than most here report paying for 3rd party batteries. $59.95, I think.

I just saw that I made a typo in this post. The ProMaster replacement that I bought was an EN-EL17 replacement, not 18.

Hedgehoggers always use OEM camera batteries!


Been using third party batteries for at least 10 years in my Canons and now in my Fuji. Haven’t hurt a camera yet and never heard of it happening.

Yes, sometimes a little underpowered but, hey, I can buy at least four third party batteries for the price of OEM’s. Takes just seconds to change out.

I'm going to blame this on the medicine I'm taking for my worn-out knee. We all know that the D500 uses the EN-EL15 battery.
