[QUOTE="Photowyzard, post: 68768, member: 8344"] LOL OK, but if your Japan connection tells you something good, please share it. If a battery came with it, I might think there was an issue. You get two trays, both EMPTY. One for AA Batteries and the other for the EN-EL15 battery. You have to buy these separate. The AA batteries fit in the grip. The EN-EL 15 holder only holds ONE battery, the other stays in the camera and you have to REMOVE the grip to remove the battery. That is why I said this was a poorly designed grip. On my D90 grip, you open the back door, take out and charge the expired battery while the charged one stays in the camera. Or, take them both out and replace with two fresh batteries. Great design, no need to remove the grip. I think I paid $170 delivered to my door with an extra battery! At the time, a great deal from BH in NY. This D800 grip requires you to remove the grip so you can remove the battery from the camera to recharge it. Not impressed with the design. [/QUOTE]
