Received very quickly, it shows the external characteristics and functioning of a true original battery: fast charge held in the appliance off time, number of views. I'm not expert in false even surface holograms and cardboard packaging can be forged, but the operation is identical to that of the battery delivered with the case. Nikon probably not only manufactures its batteries, but its specifications (no pun intended) must be higher than that of alternative brands. And the price is very well placed for such a battery, by contribution to a store.
