[QUOTE="Paliswe, post: 829117, member: 48977"] With the Z6iii, no battery charger is supplied, according to new EU rules. So I tried to comply with EU and charge my camera via USB. It turns out it only work when the cable is a USBc <-> USBc and that is supplied with the camera. But the cable is only 60 cm so I had to buy a longer cable. Then there's next problem. The camera only charge with a charger that can supply 27W and supports 5V och 9V. Another turn to the shop and buy a 220V -> 5V/9V/27W adapter. Now the camera charges! I have been traveling the last month and found it rather boring to charge the camera (not be able practically to use it while charging), despite the fact that I have two batteries. So now I have decided to buy a separate charger. I found one cheap that charges two batteries, Jupio for just 299 SEK (27,50 USD) but I found it rather suspicious when it only talked about EN-EL15 batteries without specifying a, b or c. Nikon is very fuzzy about this. After extensive research I found that it only charges EN-EL15-batteries of Jupio brand! So Jupio was no option anymore. I searched Nikon's website which gave rather vague information about their chargers for their EN-EL15 batteries. They have a charger called the MH-25a which will charge the EN-EL15a but then it didn't say anything more. They like to talk about what it can do but never what it can't do. Since it doesn't have a "c" at the end, I kept looking. Finally I found the MH-34 which explicitly said it would charge the EN-EL15b and EN-EL15c! That one uses USBc <-> USBc cable and I have already bought an adapter. Now I have ordered one from Nikon directly, since my ordinary "photo shop" don't have it on their website. Nice with regulations from the EU but it's not always the best way to solve problems! [/QUOTE]
