Does this grip recognize third party en-el15 alternate batteries?

The grip recognizes the 3rd party battery that I have. It's a great grip - solid, nice feel. My Nikonian brother says that it looks and feels like the Nikon brand grips that he has owned (this is my first Digital Nikon so I will take his word for it.)

I first ran into some issues where when I had a Nikon battery and a third-party battery at the same time, it the camera wouldn't recognize that a battery was in place. I believe I solved this by putting the Nikon battery in the grip and the third-party battery in the camera. There's also nothing that says you NEED to have a battery in the grip to use functions such as the vertical shutter button, so you could always just use a single battery inside the camera body and leave the grip empty. You *should* be able to finagle the order so that you don't have any issues, though. The grip itself is fantastic in build quality, and I highly recommend it.

This batteries are EN-EL14 replacements.. I guess they should work, but i havent tried using them on the camera directly, thats cause im using a battery grip...

Jess,You should be able to use the same screw used for the original grip. Check to see that you have it aligned right?

Thank you for your reply. I have used other than OEM batteries with other devices and in some cases the battery level indicator in those devices would not function properly. Glad to learn that this is not a problem with the Wasabi replacement for the EN-EL12. Best wishes for the New Year.

Mine was a legit Nikon Grip. I think third parties make grips for it but dont claim they are made by Nikon, unless you know something I dont? I read the other answer and mine was none of that. I also bought from Beach Camera through Amazon, they are a solid company I bought many Nikon items from!

Mine has worked perfectly as well since I bought it - no issues or problems at all. Not sure exactly what you mean by 'replacement pack' of batteries - I have only used the Nikon brand batteries in this grip, and like Chad K. posted - stay with the name brand for batteries. You won't be disappointed.

The grip I received was counterfeit, a fake and it is not a Canon product. This came direct from Canon when I sent it to them because it didn't work properly. It takes 2 rechargable batteries.

do a search for d5100 battery grip - there are several options. I am not sure if this one will fit your model, though the images look very similar - your best option is to go with one that is labeled for your model - then you know it will work. price ranges is similar - $20 - $52 new.

My Anker has worked fine. I haven't heard about third-party batteries not being recognized.I have an early 2008 MacBook Pro. I don't know if that makes a difference. Prior to this battery, I had gotten them from Apple, but since last year they've considered my model "vintage," and they don't support it anymore. I just assumed I couldn't get another battery from Apple for it.

Thank you for your time. In regards to your inquiry, the battery grip is not an OEM Nikon grip. As depicted in the listing, the grip is manufactured by XIT.

The lithium battery and charger that comes with the G15 is labeled Canon. In the expanded accessory kit the second battery is generic and says, "For Canon NB-10L..."

I can confirm what Denise typed below. If you look at the grip handle -- where it contacts your palm -- on the MK2 there is a deeply set phillips screw that is removed to change the battery. I just spoke to a support person and asked "how do I change the battery?" He asked if there was a button or a screw, and said that it was changed to a screw because they'd had inadvertent releases of the battery on the older version. Our unit is new out of the box, but for a rechargeable battery that should last 4-5 years, I'd say go with the screw! (i.e. go with the MK2!)

Im not sure what indicator you're pertaining to but the camera recognizes both batteries through this grip.

The one I received, which arrived quickly, matched my Rebel T3i perfectly and was a snap to set up. i have been using the 2 LP-E8 Li-ion batteries becasue they recharge very quickly. Have been using the grip for about 8 months I think without any difficulties or problems.

i bought two of the "Nextop-2 Packs Nikon EN-EL9 Brand New 1800mAh COMPATIBLE Battery for Nikon D40, D40x, D60" from here on amazon for my d40x which has a aftermarket battery grip and have been extremely happy. they outlast the standard nikon battery and i have had no compatibility issues with them whatsoever. i don't have an aftermarket charger and have been using all the batteries with the nikon charger that came with my camera.

I am not sure what the name is the the grip and the batteries work Great with my D7100. One of the best purchases I have made for my camera.
