Impressive, included batteries DO work with Z6iii

Nikon shooter for 25+ years, a few months ago I finally made the jump to mirrorless with a Z6iii. Bought this because I wanted a modern, USB-C powered replacement for my MH-25a. I'm pleasantly surprised at how nice the charger is. Works exactly as expected. I've charged an old EN-EL15, a couple of Nikon OEM EN-EL15C's, and of course the two SmallRig 15C's included. Charges quickly and camera reports 100% charged. The charger does require a USB-C charger with PD, which most modern USB-C chargers have. But old ones may not and you can't use an old USB-A charger with a USB-C cable. The charger also does not function as a battery bank like some others do. I wasn't expecting it, so I wasn't surprised that it doesn't. The SmallRig 15C's *ARE* compatible with the z6iii, at least on the current v2.0 firmware. They aren't quite as many mAh as the Nikon OEM's (1940 vs 2280), but they seem to work fine in my Z6iii and will be nice "backups" for my OEM 15C's.

First Impressions: Good

Another third-party dual charger just quit on me after three years, so a Small Rig alternative came at the right time. A touch more sturdy than the other unit, good charge-in-progress lights and does the job in good time.
