Nikon issues service advisory for EN-EL15 batteries

Nikon has recalled EN-EL15 batteries in lots marked E and F

This just in: Nikon have issued a service advisory (recall) of certain lots of EN-EL15 battery packs. The EN-EL15 is used in the following cameras:

  • D800/D800E
  • D7000
  • Nikon 1 V1

The affected lots are marked E and F. The letter can be found on the 9th digit on the lot number of each battery. All other lots are fine, according to Nikon.

If you have an affected battery, you can call Nikon USA at 1-800-645-6687 and request a replacement. Nikon will deliver free replacement batteries and pick up the old ones free of charge.
