D850 with EN EL 18
Pistnbroke:
I have D850 with third party grip and EN El 18 batteries one by proplus and one by subtel europe..works fine and gives 9 fps,
The shot counter in the battery does not reset to zero when charged on a dual charger which is a replica of the Nikon unit.
Does anyone have third party batteries or charger giving this symptom?
Thanks in advance
Frank Fremerey:
how do I read the "shot counter in the battery"?
I have two PATONA and a double charger: https://m.ebay.de/itm/2-AKKU-EN-EL18-PATONA-inkl-Dual-Ladegerat-Ladegerat-Nikon-D5-Digital-SLR-/351740337553?ul_ref=https%3A%2F%2Frover.ebay.com%2Frover%2F1%2F707-53477-19255-0%2F1%3Fff3%3D4%26pub%3D5574631662%26toolid%3D10001%26campid%3D5338243305%26customid%3D291201535e79f5c5fdbf857a3505fc1f%26mpre%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.ebay.de%252Fitm%252F2-AKKU-EN-EL18-PATONA-inkl-Dual-Ladegerat-Ladegerat-Nikon-D5-Digital-SLR-%252F351740337553%26srcrot%3D707-53477-19255-0%26rvr_id%3D1803024324644%26rvr_ts%3D0a6c91a61680ad7946b59f61ffca7933&_mwBanner=1&_rdt=1&ul_noapp=true
Birna Rørslett:
As far as I'm aware the "shot counter" is in the camera, not the batteries ...
The batteries do have a longevity indicator, though, in form of a scale from 0 (fresh) to 4 (nearly depleted, the battery should no longer be used and in fact might die without further warning).
Matthew Currie:
The D7100 battery indicator in the menu also has a shot counter, and it seems that the problem is mainly in the batteries themselves. Nikon batteries always reset to zero, but third party batteries sometimes do and sometimes don't. Since I rarely bother to check, and rarely use a third party charger, I haven't dug deeper or tried to figure out why the issue is intermittent, but it seems the batteries themselves are mostly responsible.
Pistnbroke:
I think Birna that you will find that if you have a EN EL 15 and put it on the charger for 10 sec it will re set the shot count .So I think we can conclude its in the battery / Never experienced this with the EN EL 15 3rd party or not
Just interested to find if its a battery chipping problem or a charger not causing the reset ..otherwise it does 9 fps for minimal cost …..
