Nikon starts recalling certain battery models due to electrical issues

If you have an EN-EL15 lithium-ion battery from Nikon in your hands, drop it quickly, for you don’t want to suffer the consequences of a possible short-circuit malfunction. Users of the Nikon D800, D800E, D7000, or Nikon 1 V1 advanced camera model stand to get affected by this problem, and those who happen to have purchased a stand-alone model should also be wary. Fortunately, Nikon has already started recalling EN-EL15 lithium-ion batteries in order to protect its users from harm. To find out whether or not you have a defective battery unit in your hands, take a look at the serial number and look for the ninth digit on it. If it’s either an E or an F, then you need to get in touch with Nikon to return it as soon as possible. You wouldn’t want to have to deal with a burning or exploding rechargeable battery, do you?
