Some sites selling replacement batteries for Nikon DSLRs state that the batteries are "fully decoded." Are these fully decoded?

I am not sure about the term "fully decoded" but this battery has worked successfully in a D3100 for several hundred pictures so far.

I don't know what "fully decoded" means. What I can tell you about this battery is it works in my Nikon D3100. I recently shot about 650 pictures with this battery in the camera, and over 500 of them were in burst mode. When I finished, the battery was about 1/3 discharged. The battery will recharge in about an hour in this charger whether plugged into a wall socket or in the car.

Yes, I purchased 3 batteries like 1 year ago and they work like my original Nikon Battery, very good batteries I can recommend it 100%

No they're not, that's why I was skeptical myself, but I've already used them for several photo shoots; they totally work as long as my old batteries whatever the brand name is. But yeah they're not canon.

I bought two of this battery about one year ago. I am convinced that the batteries I received are true Canon batteries. The two that I ordered came from "Kellards" and that reseller's price is substantially higher than the posted price from this reseller.

All of the packaging, hologram, etc appeared genuine and the battery has performed as a new Canon battery should, i.e. takes a ton of pictures before needing a recharge. i have no reason to suspect it is not genuine Canon.

These have been working fine for me. They have lasted as long as a true Nikon battery.

No. It also doesn't seem to hold a charge like a genuine Nikon battery. I won't buy them again.

I'mm not sure what you mean or why you ask this. The batteries work fine in the camera and are the same make and quality as the originals that came with my camera.Hope this helps!

the D800 reports, and actually most Nikon Bodies with separate batteries pack do report the remaining charge of the battery/batteries installed in the battery grip MD-12. Now the reliability of this number may be questionable. But the 2 Smatree batteries I have seems to last quite a long time. Actually I never really ran one down, although I have a big lens, with VRII, GPS unit and other accessories.

Very good question and I wish I asked that before i purchased. Initially, both batteries worked in my "D3200" but after a few uses now only 1 works. Spend the extra $ andget the Nikon batteries...

The battery is original (Nikon brand), but is the battery only, it doesn't include any charger.

I received my batteries in November, and they were chipped (decoded). They show the full battery info on the E-P5. I understand older batteries were not chipped, but it appears to no longer be an issue

The batteries work great with my D3200, had them for about a month now with no problems. Glad I got them

Most everything about Nikon seems over priced. It is a swell battery, however. Want to trust your $1K+ camera to who knows what?

Yes, it appears that the image is of the Nikon batteries with the logo blurred out. The actual batteries that I received are not labeled with any log. They are strictly labeled on the back with EN-EL15 lithium battery. No manufacturer logo or name. I have used the batteries and they fit just like the Nikon original and I have not had any issues with longevity. They appear to match the Nikon product very well.

Mine's worked perfectly since day one. On one occasion several months ago the camera didn't recognize the second battery, but unplugging and reinstalling the battery pack cured that. Actually, I think I forgot to turn off the camera when changing batteries. Just make sure the camera is turned off when removing or reinstalling the battery pack. I'm very happy with this unit. I'll admit I do use ONLY Nikon brand batteries, though. I've learned over the years to be a bit skittish about third party brand batteries in my Nikon DSLR's.

I'm not sure about the seller's identity and association with Nikon. However, the battery I received was identical in brand, size, and model to the original battery that accompanied my Nikon D800.
