Good to have on hand at its price
To be honest, I dislike The En-EL14 batteries for Nikon cameras as much as i do the NP-Fw50 batteries for Sony. These batteries have always had terrible battery life in my use cases. So having multiple batteries was always a must, to ensure that i was never up a creek without a paddle when i needed it most.
K&F has always done a good job with their series of batteries. I have tested their batteries across multiple camera brands and i have never had any issues with any of them. The only thing that can be said is that these do not give you the full battery life that the OEM will offer but the reduced battery life to cost savings over the OEM is worth it in most cases for me.
I used these batteries in my Nikon D5600 and D3500. I noticed more of a difference in performance in my D5600 battery life when compared to OEM than with my D3500. I took both cameras out with me while i walked around getting shots of nature for the day. It was about 95 degrees that day so i expected the batteries to die much faster, which did not happen. The batteries held up well in the higher temps and gave me a sufficient amount of shots. In most cases, i would never take over 300 shots when birding or anything of that nature but did on both cameras just to better access the batteries.
The biggest area that i noticed a difference in was when i left the batteries fully charged in the camera bodies and coming back 2 days later to one at 52% and the other at 39% when i had never seen the at much of a power drain on my OEM batteries when i left them in the body. Not sure why that happened but i know now to never leave those batteries in the body if i want them fully charged and ready to go.
Overall these are good batteries that fall slightly short of the OEM. It is also hard to find new OEM batteries, so amongst the deep sea of third party batteries, these are some of the better ones i have used.
