I have just had an e-mail from my dealer in Fareham telling me of the problem with EN-EL15 batteries Batch Nos 9 digit is either E or F. I have 3 batteries for the D800 so checked at once and found I had on marked with E and had noticed that this battery overheated when recharging. It has now been taken out of service and my dealer advises me it will be replace by Nikon UK on my return from USA.
Graham - doesn't help you much but I received an email from Nikon UK to check my batteries and found I too had an 'E' battery - Nikon expect to replace them in the first week of May - we get a new one delivered and hand the bad one to the bloke at the door!
Sorry to hear you had such seriously uncomfortable problems with exposures with the bad battery - I reckon a word with Nikon might confirm or otherwise that it could be due to the faulty battery - keep us posted on that one.
Following your travels and images with the D800 with interest and it's good to hear your positive comments.
