After market batteries?

[Kristian Armitage]

Hey guys,

I hope this is in the correct forum.

But I am looking at buying a spare battery for my Nikon D5200, I've seen on eBay these decoded batteries?

Is it worth buying genuine Nikon batteries for twice the price? Or will the cheap Chinese ones work?

I was looking at this one;

Any feedback welcome

Kris

Cheaper ones will be generally fine as long as you are sensible ... I would probably look here: http://www.7dayshop.com/products/7d...digital-camera-battery-1200mah-7DAYEN-EL14NEW

I've got to agree with Gramps the 7dayshop ones seem to be fine, I had four with my Canon 50D and never had a problem with any of them in three years.

You get what you pay for, charge does last as long, battery probably does last as long, but you could buy 3 third party batteries to one genuine one. would rather get from a repertable seller like 7dayshop
