FWIW, that recall is dated here: http://www.nikonusa.com/en/Service-And-Support/Service-Advisories/index.page
as being two years old.

No problem for me, here: this letter is "L". My backup, clone battery also works like a charm (costed me 25$, and it's capacity is declared as "2550mAH").

It has since I remember that announcement made by Nikon when I purchased my D800E.

Jack we should just make this as a sticky since it applies to several camera bodies including the D600/D610 although they should not be affected with the newer batch batteries.

I was just thinking maybe it is not so urgent any more.

One of mine is on the list just found out

both of mine are clear

Mine's fine. My Chinese generic has been fine too, although doesn't last quite as long as official.

I think when they're ready to pop you're most likely to get that while charging and it happened to one of my chinese batteries for my 5100. All it did was freak the charger out (and it blinked very rapidly) and the casing bloated a little bit. Tossed it into rubbish and used the other 3 perfectly fine.
