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.

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)

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.

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.

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.

You hear it all the time "Don't use 3rd party batteries cause blah, blah, blah...." and I am here to tell you to squash that noise and pick up a few of these batteries right now. First off, USB-C CHARGING!!!! Yes please... my entire kit is now USB-C chargeable and as a travel videographer, that benefit cannot be understated. No more needing to carry a separate en-el charger, the cable that charges my phone/Osmo Pocket/GoPro/etc,... can now charge my batteries on the go. These actually have a higher capacity than Nikon OEM, and I do actually find a bit of extended use with these, as well as faster charging times, it seems. These do NOT give you any battery warnings and are fully compatible with the Z8 and its battery read outs, and I am on the latest Z6 and Z8 firmware as of 7/12/24 when writing this. I have not had one single issue with these at all. I own 5 now and I leave the Nikon batteries at home now and just grab all the blue ones I can see!

I bought this to replace an OEM Nikon EL-EL15 battery that wasn't keeping the charge. I chose this because I am familiar with the Small Rig brand, higher capacity and because of the usb charging. The information said this was compatible with OEM Nikon batteries. I have a Nikon D500, D810 and Z8. The D500 and D810 have battery grips. When I put the Small Rig battery in the battery grips of the D500 and D810 both cameras do not turn on. I get the battery "not charged" icon even though I charged it. However it works if I removed the battery grip and insert the battery into the cameras directly. The battery does work in the Z8. I can charge the battery in the Nikon charger. I am satisfied with this Small Rig battery and will tolerate the inconvenience of removing the battery grip every time I use it. Interestingly Small Rig's website says the orange version of this battery is for the mirrorless Z camera and DSLR camera but the blue version which is what I bought is for DSLR's.

Houdt lading goed vast

Fonctionne parfaitement avec un Nikon Z6

Funciona bien en una Z6ii

La batería comenzó funcionando bien, ha pasado justo un mes y ya no se carga, no aumenta mas que una sola raya de batería, pasado el mes ya no es posible devolver

Great battery for Nikon users especially Z6 cameras. Was a bit dubious about ordering as I have heard numerous comments about third party batteries not working in a Z6iii. Well this one definitely works with a Z6iii. Comes in a nice little box with a USB-A to type C cable. The beauty of this battery is that it can be charged directly with the cable plugged into it, you do not need a charger for it. Why oh why can all batteries not be like this.
