Full details

Troubleshooting
Battery does not charge via USB-C
Ensure the USB-C cable is securely connected to both the battery and the power source. Verify that the power source is active and providing sufficient power (5V 2A recommended). Try a different USB-C cable and power source.
Camera does not recognize the battery or shows 'incompatible'
Confirm that your camera model is listed in the compatibility list for the EN-EL15c battery. Ensure the battery is correctly seated in the camera's battery compartment. Try cleaning the battery contacts.
Battery life is significantly shorter than expected
Ensure the battery was fully charged before use. Check camera settings, as some features (like continuous live view) consume more power. Extreme temperatures can also affect battery performance.
Battery is physically stuck in the camera
Gently try to dislodge the battery. Ensure the battery was inserted correctly during use and was not forced. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
