\"nikon-enel15-jpg\"<\/a>Strange things seem to be happening with older versions of the EN-EL15 battery (D800, D750, D610 etc.) with the D500<\/strong> camera and, for once, Nikon are doing something about it.<\/p>\n

The problem seems to be that with the launch of the D500<\/strong> Nikon decided to modify\u00a0certain calculations performed in the battery electronics and as such, only the more recent batteries would show correct charging values on the D500<\/strong> – this is the only camera body effected. It’s easy to check if your battery will have potential problems – on the battery label \u00ab\u00a0Li-ion\u00a0\u00bb is printed just above the serial number. If this is \u00ab\u00a0Li-ion20\u00a0\u00bb you don’t have a problem – any other number is an earlier battery could exhibit problems with the D500<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The solution is actually quite radical – anyone with proof of ownership of a D500<\/strong> (A bill, for example) can simply send their EN-EL15 to Nikon who replace them free of charge. ALL their EN-EL15 batteries<\/strong> – I have 5, so I contacted the SAV at Nikon France and they reassured me that, yes, I could send ’em all in for replacement. This is actually quite handy as some of my batteries date from 2011 and any battery gets old…so now I have 5 brand new batteries dating from 2016.<\/p>\n
