[QUOTE="Fortkentdad, post: 343511, member: 24285"] So true I too was taken in once on eBay for a "genuine Nikon" -it wasn't. If the price is too good to be true - it isn't true. It does work but not taking any chances. There are a few websites that post how to tell the difference - it is in the print and fine details, but I had two genuine ones and side by side you can spot the very subtle differences. ON the other hand asking $100 for a battery is just plain ridiculous and begging for trouble. Why Nikon gets away with this is crazy. I now buy Wasabi off of Amazon. Pay about half of Nikon's price (or less) next purchase will be a pair with charger for $69 instead of $99 each (Bestbuy.ca's current price - more at the local camera store). For a EN-EL15 for my D610. Same deal on batteries for my D5100. Been using Wasabi for few years now, no problems at all. Backed by Amazon. No pretense - these are 3rd party clearly identified - but perfectly usable. [/QUOTE]
