How do you get it to use the 2nd battery - I have one at 5% and the other at 99% and it keeps on shutting down with low battery ...

Never used one but there should be an item in the menu giving you the choice if which order to use the batteries. If it's not recognising the second battery as it sounds like that might be the case, it's possible there is a bad electrical contact between the body and the MD80, judicious use of the eraser tip of a pencil might clean the contacts, very carefully, for preference a glass fibre brush to scrub the contacts clean. Also try reseating the second battery.

Are the two batteries the same? Some of the EN-EL3 batteries are not compatible. Clone batteries are frequently only chipped to work in camera not battery pack. Have you checked the type of battery specied as being used in the CSM Menu?

From the Nikon USA web site The MB-D80 Multi-Power Battery Pack adds extended shooting capability. The MB-D80 can be powered either by one or two Nikon EN-EL3e rechargeable Li-ion batteries or six AA batteries (alkaline, Ni-MH, lithium, or nickel manganese). The UK site says much the same. Note that its says EN-EL3e batteries, suggesting that earlier variants aren't compatible. Just as an aside, in my world an MD80 weighs in at about 63.5 and 72.6 Metric Tons and doesn't attach to a camera. You can find the manual here https://www.nikonimgsupport.com/na/NSG_article?articleNo=000027049&configured=1&lang=en_SG

Yes it seems like over engineering.

Came across this a while back with the D200. It was a first time then but it is more and more common now. My V1 and D600 can use any EN-EL15 but the D800 seems more picky and needs an EN-EL15a, and the D500, D850 and Z7 only work with EN-EL15b. I need to make sure that any new batteries I get in the EN-EL15 series are only type b so they can work in all my Nikons.

One of my batteries is Nikon the other is aftermarket. If I take out one it works perfectly on the other, but when I fit both the camera chooses the battery with the least charge. This sort of makes sense - run down one battery and then switch over to the other but it doesn't do that and I can't find any method to direct it to use one or the other. As for using 6 aa batteries in the md80 - yes they work but last only a few minutes - this with brand new good quality fully charged rechargeables
