Will my MH-26 battery charger (SN 120701455) that ...

Will my MH-26 battery charger (SN 120701455) that came with my D4 camera properly charge the newer EN-EL18C batteries? The EN-EL18 battery that came with the camera is an 10.8V/2Ah battery. The EN-EL-18C is rated for 10.8V/2.5Ah. The extra 500mAh would be nice but my current charger needs to be able to fully charge the battery.

Asked by: John
Don’t know if this is THE battery Nikon has for the D6; but, I have a D5 and it will work. Have batteries from a D4, D4s, and now a D5- they all work great.

For people in the reviews saying "DON'T give up, it WILL eventually charge." what's the method I should be trying?
Asked by: Justin
For anyone curious, I DID end up finding a solution (after I calmed down, lol). It DID involve me buying more stuff, though. I bought a Wasabi charger for en-el18 batteries and after charging this battery on the third-party charger for LITERALLY less than two minutes (I have trust issues with 3rd party stuff) I swapped my battery over to my Nikon MH-33 charger and it finally started charging.
