    Batteries - the cheap and the expensive

    Hi All, I was away to buy a new battery for my D7100, when i noticed a huge price range! Does anybody have any knowledge of the quality of batteries out there? The likes of Currys sell a Nikon En-EL15 for 67GBP and a Duracell for 24GBP. Amazon sell others for just 15 GBP! ​Cheers
