About this deal
I kind of fixed it by always putting the battery in the camera but the build quality was still very poor compared to the Nikon ones and very flexible on the camera. All that was to say that saying Duracell, or Nikon, or whatever on the label doesn't make it a good battery.

I have never had an issue with 3rd party batteries and in fact I don't even try to keep track of which battery is in my camera at any given moment. The reason I want one is because I had a D3, and I miss the vertical grip and button, as I do Portraits and weddings, it handy .The unit arrived in a small cardboard “Meike” branded box and contained the DR750 Grip, EN-EL15 battery holder, AA battery holder and a nifty wireless remote (more on that later).
On checking the Meike grip, it certainly has the gasket around the contacts array, but doesn't around the battery compartment opening. I haven't been through some complete charge and discharge cycles yet so maybe just some inaccurate display. I haven't figured out what to do about this yet, but when I tried to use the camera with the default setting in f4 rather than AF-ON I got way too many pictures with a fuzzy subject and a sharp background. Never put yourself in the heartbreaking situation of running out of power in the middle of that once-in-a-lifetime photo opportunity again. Make sure the battery is inserted in the correct orientation, following the markings on the battery.
I've set the camera to use the battery in the body first, then the battery in the grip, I'm just checking to make sure it changes over correctly* ( down to 3% in the body battery). It accepts one additional EN-EL15 lithium-ion battery pack to increase the camera 's battery life or, alternatively, six AA batteries can be used in conjunction with the included MS-D14 AA Battery Holder. Always keep a spare battery on hand, especially when shooting for extended periods or in remote locations where charging facilities may not be readily available.
