Wstson has the generic, much cheaper, but I have found that they ultimately do not have the same lifespan of charge cycles, and hold less charge quicker. Not sure why, but it is a pretty well known thing with the aftermarket batteries. The amount you save isn't worth it to me.

Quoted:
Looking for a 2nd battery for my D7500. I thought the batteries from my D7000 would work.......but they don't. Where is a good place to get the correct battery, without spending $50??? Depending on the camera, aftermarket batteries may or may not work anyhow. They are chipped on top of circuit protection, so it depends on a lot of things. Personally, I just run OEM. Makes life a lot easier in case of something happening and warranty/insurance is needed and I can say it is all OEM. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: That's kind of the going rate for name brand OEM camera batteries across the board for current gen stuff. You can get offbrand ones, but they don't last as long or usually have the same mAh despite saying so. Mind you, the ones for my D850 grip, the D5, etc are $150 a pop, so it could be worse.

An aftermarket battery decides to pop and nuke your camera, well...get on the phone to China and listen to them not caring.

Honestly, seems like an odd thing to quibble about.

I have never purchased an additional OEM battery for any of my 4 Canon DSLRs. Wasabi batteries have worked just fine for me. Try Amazon.
