Think we can conclude most of the really cheap batteries are probably of Chinese origin, the two I have from German supplier are still going strong, the one I ordered on Tuesday arrived yesterday (Wednesday) in a plain white van, 24Hr free delivery. o.O

I charged it on arrival and it registers 100%, new battery on the D3 battery monitor.

One of the two original D200 Batteries I bought in August 2007 failed yesterday, it had been in my D200IR camera for a few weeks, I put it on charge but it was rejected by the charger. I won't attempt to revive it, although I may open it to see what it contains...

If I do open it I will share my experience and pictures to save others having to do it!

That's 11 years, almost to the day since I bought that first D200 camera to replace the D1. It's the first D200 battery to fail on me.
