I just got this battery, perfectly packaged; and very well before the stated time, it is .. She still had 65% of its charge and is well recognized by the system of my D7100. I complete his duties with the MH-25 original charger provided by Nikon with my camera and I repost to give further notice after field use. PS, this is fait..charge is complete (100% with the MH-25) and after about 300 shots and a lot of use of the rear screen, touch-ups etc ... it still has 70% .. it is looking good but it is still early to rave about.
