SMALLRIG 2400mAh Replacement USB-C Camera Battery for Nikon EN-EL15C, for Nikon ZR, Z6 III, Zf, Z8, Z7, Z7 II, Z6 II, Z5, D850, D810, D810A, D780, D750, D610, D500, 2.5H Fast Charging

I have a Nikon Z6III and this battery works great. It's significantly cheaper than the OEM battery while still offering the same level of performance. The charge and function is on par with Nikon's and I haven't had any problems with it. My favorite part of this battery is that it can be charged using a standard USB C cable. This means you no longer need to travel with your Nikon battery charger. Using USB C to charge is not only convenient, but it also charges fast. I purchased 3 of these batteries mainly for travel, but I like the performance enough that I use them at home just as much as my Nikon batteries.

Agree with other reviewers that this battery depletes at a slower rate and lasts longer than the nikon battery. The type C cable plug is the best for emergency charging or simply field charging without a charging "box". It is recommended that you cycle the full charge to fully depleted three times to activate the "memory" of the battery to hold a larger charge, so it reads in two of the three battery manuals I have, so I do it. I have no issues with the lights, red charging and green charged, however long it takes, especially when building the memory where it may change in duration. These batteries are a money saver and are good quality, not cheap junk like some out there, and are fully compatible with my Z6III camera.

As a working photographer, I’ve trusted Nikon batteries for years—so I was cautious about trying something different. After running this SMALLRIG EN-EL15C for over a year, I can honestly say it outperforms my OEM batteries. Runtime is actually a little longer, and I’ve never once had a charging warning pop up on my cameras. It just works. The USB-C charging is the game-changer. I can top it off from my V-Pro battery, or plug it into solar USB pack when I’m off-grid. No wall outlet required. I bought a blue and orange one to keep track of one and 2. However the bright orange shell makes it easy to spot if it gets dropped in the field—a small but thoughtful detail that saves headaches on long shoots. If I need to replace (probably because I lost it) I'll get another orange. The build feels solid, and it hasn’t let me down in desert heat, dust, or long days of sports and real estate work. If you want more flexibility than OEM without sacrificing reliability, this battery earns its spot in the kit. It’s become my go-to for everyday and remote shoots alike.

These are fantastic. They last as long as the Nikon original batteries, but they can charge via a built-in USB C port...which is FANTASTIC! Compatible with my Nikon Z7II, and, apparently all other Nikons that require EN-EL 15c batteries. No error messages. They have an LED which tells you when the battery is finished charging. Also, their bright orange colors make them easy to find in my camera bag. They're half the price of the Nikons, which tells me Nikon batteries are a rip off! Now, these are all I use! Why only 4 stars? I did get a battery that had a bad LED indicator.

Purchased for use in a couple of different Nikon Z cameras (Z6II & Z8). Works fine in both, no problems. The built-in USB-C charging port is a big plus, don't have to drag a camera-specific charger along when traveling, just use the phone charger or similar, or even charging ports in vehicles. Only downside is the LED indicator lights up red (which is fine), but doesn't turn green or go out when the battery is finished charging. Hopefully later batteries for this brand will address this. Haven't done any testing of the OEM vs. the SMALLRIG battery, so can't comment on runtime.

I, like many was hesitant to use aftermarket batteries in my Nikon camera. But, Nikon has teamed up with Smallrig for a few products like cages/handles. The orange batteries work with the Z8, Z6 III, and Zf without issue. One major benefit with these batteries is the USB-C charge port. This means you can charge your OEM battery in the MH-25a and this one with a USB-C charger. The battery life is about the same, even though these are rated at 2400mAh vs 2280mAh in the OEM ones. And best of all, these typically sell for 60% less than the genuine batteries so its a good value.

Camera: Nikon z7ii This is the worst battery I have ever used in 8 years of photography. I was on a 10 week backpacking trip to Asia and Korea was my first stop, they made me throw out batteries due to flying restrictions and threw away 2 good batteries to keep this one and the battery broke the first time I used it. My camera just shot off and I thought I broke it as this battery was freshly charged. It now wont even charge on my charger and through USBC charger it charges but doesnt work.. It just simply doesnt work, I thought I broke my camera. I am pissed this battery sucks, I sent the company an Email hopefully it was a dud. I will change review if new battery works!

Batteries work great. Usb-c charging is very convenient. I do take pride in accepting the Dumb Consumer award. Last night I took the batteries out of my bag, placed the covers on, and charged them over night. When I woke up the charge indicator was still red. Charged them for 2 more hours, still red. When the orange covers are installed on the battery, the green fully charge indicator will appear red through the orange plastic cover. Light colors - Orange - not fully charged. Green - fully charged. Picture 1: Both are fully charged. The on on the left appears to be not charged but the orange covers makes the green light appear orange. Picture 2: Both batteries are fully charged but looking from an angle the green light on the battery closets appears more orange. Picture 3: All three batteries fully charged but the gray battery (another brand) fully charged indicator is a much brighter green even at an angle. I like both batteries. The orange of the Small Rig batteries are easier to find in any color bag interview, except orange. I would and have recommend this battery. (Apologize the pictures were cropped a bit)

Great batteried. I use this with my Nikon Z8 and Z6III. No issues at all. Easy charge with a USB cable is a plus.
