[QUOTE="Nikonitus, post: 681416, member: 10962"] Guys, once bitten - twice shy...!!! I did the 3rd party battery thing with a D300 I had when they came out. I used them (them = camera and grip) straight after I bought them and at that stage they worked well for about a month, then came charge time and from minute one they gave all sorts of troubles. First they wouldn't charge, then they would, then they'd half charge in the standard charger and even when they did charge up, the camera would show differing battery life in the camera's indicator,, then,, the genuine batteries stopped charging and started playing up just like the 3rd party units. This all happened over a period of a few weeks or so. I was ready to throw the whole lot in the trash when I phoned the local camera shop and they said to bring the camera in, which I did. They saw the batteries and said "these are your problem", then put my genuine batteries in one of their chargers and left them there for quite a while - seemed to be charging ok, then he took it out and put it into my charger. I said "it will charge for about 2 or 3 minutes then stop" but they kept charging for about half and hour (I was busy looking at other cameras while this all happened), then he said "I'll bet things are back to normal now", so I took it all home and sure enough he was right.. During the time he was charging mine on the counter top, he explained about chipped batteries and 3rd party units confusing things within the charger and camera and said "Stay away from them".. That was when I first learned about the Nikon way.. I have avoided 3rd party stuff (well, at least with Nikon anyway) from that moment on, just for the assurance... Nikonitus [/QUOTE]
