Not sure exactly which cameras are compatible but D4, D5 and D850, maybe D800/810?

Normally with Nikon the versions of the battery are intra-model compatible but the later versions have additional power management features and sometimes extra power.

I have EN-EL15 and 15a. Did I miss something or did they just jump over 16's and 17's? Never-the-less, I am sure they will be very reasonably priced

The battery number relates to its capacity, shape and dimensions. The EN-EL4 is used in the D2 and D3. The EN-EL18 is a very similar shape to the EN-EL4 but the contacts are on the opposite side, it is also a lower voltage. The EN-EL16 and the EN-EL17 have not yet been produced. Of course the price will be reasonable, as long as someone else is paying! Expect something well over $200

Those for a big D cost well over a Hundred..but 200 quid..there are camera`s for less than that.

I have heard Good things about PATONA ,...and sounds like a good deal too. Still wanna have a go at DIY refurb for my D3S and X camera`s.. But I`ll wait until they`re at 4 as I wanna know how lang they will hold up.

I have a policy when buying third party batteries from Amazon, they need 5 star reviews and plenty of them. Patona's EN-EL18s have 5 stars but only two reviews. The one I bought was an Ex Pro which I gave 4 stars because the battery door is slightly loose. I think the price for a Genuine Nikon battery is unacceptable, but I would like another one, may be next time I am in B&H. As to "There are cameras for less than that" Indeed there are cameras smaller than an MH22/MH26 and my Nikon 1 isn't much bigger than an EN-EL4/18.

Think we can conclude most of the really cheap batteries are probably of Chinese origin, the two I have from German supplier are still going strong, the one I ordered on Tuesday arrived yesterday (Wednesday) in a plain white van, 24Hr free delivery.  I charged it on arrival and it registers 100%, new battery on the D3 battery monitor. One of the two original D200 Batteries I bought in August 2007 failed yesterday, it had been in my D200IR camera for a few weeks, I put it on charge but it was rejected by the charger. I won't attempt to revive it, although I may open it to see what it contains... If I do open it I will share my experience and pictures to save others having to do it! That's 11 years, almost to the day since I bought that first D200 camera to replace the D1. It's the first D200 battery to fail on me.

2007-2018=11 years. Outside the normal lifetime of a Lion battery but not unheard of. I have had a few dead batteries from the EN-EL3 range (D300, D200, D90, D70,etc) but they were cheap clones 3 of 12 in my set. Also some EN-EL4 batteries (D3, D3S, D700 grip), two of 8 in my set.
