Nikon En-eL15 Battery: Real Vs. Fake

In this video I made a side-by-side comparison between a genuine Nikon En-eL15 battery and a very good counterfeit. I received this counterfeit item from Adorama, February 2019, that was being sold as a genuine Nikon product. It was extremely disappointing as Adorama is supposed to be an authorized dealer of genuine Nikon merchandise.

CORRECTIONS:
1:48 The REAL batteries will come in a box WITH a white bottom, I stated that the fakes would have a white bottom.

Addendums:
The hologram sticker on the box should turn green as well like on the battery when viewed from a shallow angle.
Others have also mentioned a “tap test”. Apparently fake and 3rd party batteries sound hollower or don’t sound as solid/dense as the real batteries. In my testing the batteries sound identical.
