Does it work with the latest firmware(A:1.01 B:1.02) ? I heard someone report the 3rd party battery is not compatible after upgrading the firmware.

I use it with a D5100. My FW is A:1.02 B:1.01. The battery works just fine. camera functions as normal.

It works as well as the original Nikon battery in my new D3200, with or without the two battery grip

I returned the battery because it didn't fit the Nikon battery charger. Don't know about the firmware, but it makes since that it wouldn't be compatible. After waiting 6 months to get the battery from Amazon, I finally gave up and bought it a new one at B&H photo in NY.

I haven't upgraded firmware, I used the battery with the firmware from factory.

I had the same issue. Camera refused to operate. Said it was not a Nikon battery after firmware upgrade.

Thanks for the link, Repro. I'm in the process of ordering a battery as I type this. According to the reviews of the battery, all zs3 owners/reviewers are reporting success with this battery no matter what firmware the camera has. Thanks again for the info.

The revised firmware version does work, according to New Harbor. The first firmware version, of which I am a recipient, does not. New Harbor contacted me directly and immediately when they discovered the problem and offered to swap out my flash for one that works with the T3 series. Should you receive one that doesn't work, I believe that New Harbor will work diligently to rectify it. However, I'm also satisfied that they'll have the issue fixed on any flash you order from them.Hope this helps,Robert~

I purchased a couple of these maybe 2 months ago and they were both C1 with 3.01 firmware. Probably no guarantees that's what you'll get today though. I have an older A1 which seems to work the same; but, the drivers are different and are NOT interchangeable.

Nothing useful to add unfortunately. I have just bought mine, charged up the battery, and now it keeps turning itself on and off. I was going to try leaving out the battery, but will also try a firmware download, as suggested. Thanks.

I've got the firmware update and I've had the battery replacement for about a year and a half now and so far I haven't had any issues with it. My Zen gets used quite frequently as well. Hope this bit of info helps out.

Hey, I have 1.1.3 6D, and the STK works completely fine. It works fine, the only problem which isnt a big issue for me is that it loses charge faster than the Canon batteries, but its not weak.

Did you try to update the firmware? My firmware version was very old out of the box, and the device keeps freezing and crashing and disconnecting. But after updated to the latest version, it works perfectly! &#128076;

Not sure if this will help or not. I bought the same battery for my Nikon D3100 some time ago and it worked fine. Nikon then released a firmware upgrade for the D3100 and apparently this upgrade stopped the Wasabi battery from being compatible. Fortunately (for me) I read about the incompatibility before I knew that the Nikon upgrade was available so never installed the new firmware. I suspect that something similar has happened with the D5100.

I've never updated the firmware and still haven't seen any issues with battery life. Typically, on a 10-day vacation with daily pictures etc I'll see the battery start to go low on day 5 or 6. Maybe you got a unit with a defective battery?

I've got an email from Vendor shortly after my purchase informing to install latest firmware to work with T3i. Hope this help.

This was my biggest beef. For such an expensive item and in todays world we should be able to get firmware updates. I am not aware of any way to update the firmware. I hope someone can prove me wrong. I do own it despite my concern.

If you email the company you bought it from ( via Amazon ) they should be able to help. Be aware the site is in Chinese so you'll have to ask in advance for a translated link... I hope this helps. I don't recall the link nor did I save it but I was sent one... It wasn't really an update... they took the firmware back one step and it seemed to help though it has not totally corrected the problem. My camera will work fine for a while then go through a phase of restarting and losing connection. I have to unplug it, count to 30, and then plug the ac adapter in again and it will work again for a while. Very problematic with no apparent resolution available.

Firmware is the operating system that runs your camera. You can find your version by going to menu > setup > Version Disp. It should be Version 1.1. I have tested this battery on Version 1.1 and it works just fine.

It has been functioning fine in my Y510p for the past month since I updated the firmware to 1.7. They say any firmware older than 1.7 has a bug that will eventually make the card fail and be unrecognized by any PC.

I have firmware version 1.1.3 and, as I remember, I didn't get any error messages from my 6D, but the battery was just so unreliable (would suddenly lose all charge) that I gave up with it after a few weeks and it has sat in a drawer ever since.
