USB-C port in camera batteries?! 🔋⚡

In this video I'm looking at 3rd party alternative Nikon EN-EL15c batteries by LLANO. The interesting feature is that they have a USB-C port integrated into each battery as a secondary way to charge them. With camera makers not including dedicated battery chargers anymore, this gives you an easy option to charge one or more batteries outside of the camera while the camera itself can continue being used. All that you need in that case is some sort of USB charger. LLANO sent these batte ry to me at no cost, but they had to agree to my collaboration terms which did not allow them to have any input into the video and they were not allowed to preview it.

Update 5/16/2025: I just used one of the Llano batteries at an anime convention. 27% battery remaining after 1202 photos with quite a bit of idle time because I have the standby timer disabled. Though, I tend to switch the camera off when I don' think I'm going to use it for a bit. Used it for around 6 hours.
