Nikon batteries are ‘grade a’ batteries. That is, they are as good as what the label says they are. Grade b and down get tossed into the bin that get aftermarket labels applied. By paying for aftermarket batteries, you’re asking for low grade batteries. It’s a roll of the dice if you get a grade b or a grade d. I’ve had an aftermarket battery overheat inside a camera before. That’s when I stopped using cheap batteries in my expensive camera. IMHO, it’s worth a few extra dollars up front getting what you know is good quality from a reputable Nikon distributor like Adorama or B&H, (I’ve also had fake Nikon batteries sent to me from Amazon). FWIW, Nikon has made aftermarket batteries useless in their newest cameras, they don’t work at all.</blockquote>
