Looking for reliable aftermarket battery (D3200)`

[DrPizza]

I searched through the old threads, and it seems that most people have had good results with SterlingTek.

Apparently, SterlingTek doesn't have a battery for the Nikon D3200. Though, oddly, they have a charger for the battery. Or, my search skills are bad.

Anyway, are there any other "generic" battery manufacturers that people trust? I know I'd rather not take my chances on ebay, especially plugging a lithium battery into a charger and leaving it. Seems that ebay is filled with counterfeit products that actually cost more than generics (since they put money into trying to copy everything, right down to the hologram sticker, and since they apparently get away with it).

Nikon battery is $70. Generic from Adorama is $35. Why risk it? But if you do simply buy from a reputable company and trust their buyers. Next firmware update you might lose the ability to use the 3rd party battery.

Wasabi and Maximal Power batts have done fine in my Nikons and Canons in the past.

I've also had good luck with Wasabi batteries.
