Vertical grip on 3200 ..what batteries ?

some time ago I posted about using a 5100 grip on a 3200 and I have used this no problem for 12 months ....I have one original and one non coded battery...

Now I saw an add today for a grip basically saying you cannot use two coded (ie genuine) batteries in the grip...

Any one using a grip with two coded batteries?

PS this is a generic grip Nikon dont make one.

what's wrong with using 2 genuine batteries? Im planning to get another battery for my grip (photolex 3100)

It is now concluded that there is no problem BUT the original question was asked because an advertiser was trying to reduce costs by supplying one of each..

The 3rd party coded batteries at about $15 are fine

Thats right....3rd party replacement batt is way cheaper, will try to buy 1 soon

be carefull uncoded EN EL 14 batteries for the P7000 will work if you use an original as well but really you want a coded one that says D3200/D5200 etc

thanks for the tip....actually the main reason i want to add another battery to the grip is for the additional weight. 3200 is quite light for me..

It is still pretty light with the vertical grip, but the added size really makes it more manageable with heavier lenses.
