This is a review of "K&F Concept 2600mAh EN-EL15C Battery Compatible with Nikon Z8 Zf Z7II Z7 Z 6II Z6 Z5 D850 D810 D810A D780 D750 D7500 D7200, USB C Fast Charging Battery"
I've tried a few K&F camera accessories and all have been well-designed, great quality and well-priced.
This battery ticks all those boxes too. And I love this type of battery - I have the Smallrig version too, this one is equally good. It should only be a matter of time before Nikon realise that they need to adapt the OEM batteries to allow for direct USB charging like this - means one less thing to pack when going on a trip.
Recognised immediately by my Z7 and Z8. Seems to last as long as the OEM versions too.
And I like the distinctive colour scheme!

Great USB-C chargeable battery for Nikon cameras. I'm not sure if it will work with the latest cameras with authentication chips, but it works great in my D7000; I no longer have to carry around a bulky charger with me and can just use it with any USB-C charger. Battery life also seems good. Overall a nice battery.

This battery works incredibly well with my camera, offering extended usage times that are noticeably better than standard options. The fast charging feature is especially convenient, allowing me to quickly recharge during shoots. It fits perfectly and works seamlessly, but the price is a bit on the higher side. While it’s undoubtedly a quality product, it might not be the most budget-friendly option out there. That said, if you’re looking for reliable performance and longevity, it’s definitely worth the investment. A solid choice for anyone serious about their photography gear.

I got this battery for use with my Nikon D500 and D7100 DSLR bodies.
The main attraction of this battery for me was the ability to charge directly via USB C port on the battery. And it works fantastically well. Why don't all DSLR batteries include this feature??
The battery feels robustly made in terms of construction quality.
The battery works just as well for me in both my Nikon DSLRs as the originals do. It also has a fair bit more juice built in with its 2600mAh capacity rating. There are no problems with my cameras interpreting the remaining battery levels or battery age so compatibility is good.
On the face of it, the price point may seem a little high for a 3rd party battery, however it is a good quality battery, plus the USB charging convenience and additional capacity make it good value for money in my opinion.

Love the fact that this can be charged via a regular USB cable and it is not a gimmick it performs well in the camera and getting excellent battery life so far. Very happy with it.

Like any K&F product I have ever5 ordered this doesn't disappoint, it is recognised by my charger - you would be surprised how often 3rd party batteries are rejected - charges at a decent rate and performs as far as I can tell inline with the OEM batteries.

This K&F Concept EN-EL15C battery is a great alternative to the one that Nikon sells. Not only is it considerably cheaper but it also can be charged through USB-C. This is really handy as I still haven't gotten a charger yet (Z6 III doesn't come with one) and have to charge my OEM Nikon Battery inside the Z6 III via USB-C.
I had issues getting another third-party battery to work with my Z6 III but this one worked without any issues. So far, this is a good Nikon battery that I can recommend.
