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

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.

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.

This battery worked great as a backup battery for my Nikon Z7 and Z6ii. No compatibility issues and seems to last as long as the Nikon brand batteries. The USB-C charging ability is helpful in an emergency also.

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.

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)

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.

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!

I was searching for compatible batteries for my Nikon Z6 III. My previous third-party batteries wouldn't get recognized at all. These batteries intrigued me with the built-in USB-C connection. I loved the idea of direct charging as opposed to using another bulky charger. I also bought a second one. The functionality has been perfect, and it has an equal battery life compared to Nikon's official batteries.

Fonctionne très bien. Bonne autonomie. De plus, le chargement par câble usb C est très pratique.

Houdt lading goed vast

Fonctionne parfaitement avec un Nikon Z6

Bardzo dobry akumulator. Używam go już kilka miesięcy. Działa bez problemu z Nikon Z6 III. No i te gniazdo USB -C. Genialne rozwiązanie.

This is a 1st class product, used in z8, very well built, packaged and now have a battery that I can charge in the car anytime. Brilliant!
