The jump procedure can be brutal, especially if you jump a battery charged over 5V with a 9V battery; you probably damaged it a bit.

Some of them are old enough that the original pack is "well-loved" enough (poor runtime) I don't want to run it because of how often I need to swap it and avoid THIS problem.

| Both are from 2014 so likely original to the camera and one of them is either a Korean import or a high-grade knockoff meant to pass as a Canon battery. Nope nope nope, they're already from 2014 AND one is suspicious. Now yes, I may need to keep these for the return period but once that's over I can discard them without consequence. I may run the real pack-in 2014 battery until it's too old, but I will not be using that knockoff. | |
| + | |
| + | I also recently ran into problems with an a6000 which came with 4 batteries (3 clones/1 OEM Sony). One of the knockoffs swelled in storage outside of the camera so I was able to catch it and mark it as bad; there's a 2nd one that may be going out I no longer trust being a knockoff with similar failure signs. 50% dud rate and it's on the cloned packs. Why in the world would I trust these things when the camera itself wasn't cheap? I'll run them until they die (and note them as coming from THAT camera) but no way would I take them out unless I was using it as an emergency spare with my 50% problem rate and it's just the clones!!! |

| Check to see if it's swollen; the D5300 is old enough this is enough of a concern enough I would pull any battery over 5 years out of service as a precaution as it leads to this problem. [br] | |
| Yeah, my rule for cameras is brutal: | |
| * New: 3 years have a new battery ready at all times/5 end of service (recycle w/ 5Y note). ***Ex: If I bought a full frame Sony mirrorless camera to properly use my Minolta glass and the LA-EA adapter in 2023, I would consider it "due" for a new pack in 2025, but run the old pack as a reliable backup until 2025-2026, depending on wear.*** | |
| * Used camera w/ battery: Shoot with it immediately, but I'm considering it a "Replace ASAP" situation with no exceptions (buy 2, run 1 as main/2nd spare, used pack non reliable backup as long as it runs acceptably). ***I treat these as consumed as a precaution against this issue. I may not do it mid photo shoot, but if I'm on the way back near a Best Buy I'm buying new packs at the end.*** | |
| * ***Jumped unregulated (emergency fix): 1 year replacement/3 year max service (Ex: 9V/AA or AAA holder)*** | |
| ***The reason for this wide gap? For used cameras, I don't know the age of it and most people do not weigh the risk of expansion vs. the time wasted on hacks like this, so I play it safe. It's easier to consider it "consumed" and act accordingly by buying two (but use it as long as it holds a charge safely as a non production pack). For jumped packs, these can be a liability to a point I will do it in a jam and only for 5-15 minutes max and go back to a correct charger -- accepting it does some pack damage/if it fails, EOL.***[br] | |
| I would rather replace the battery before it happens and be criticized by others for being picky about it because they had to spend 5 minutes waiting on me to replace it then find out it developed a problem, especially with many using softcell bare cells on a BMS. | |
| If it is, what you may be able to do (with caution!) is stick a thin tool with removable adhesive on it/permanent if you scrap it with the card attached will also work after unlatching the battery to get it out. After getting it out, pull the camera out of service until you have a new battery. DO NOT REUSE IT, it failed. Out of service>permanently attached card.[br] | |
| A cut plastic card (like a spent gift card) should be enough, so avoid metal at ALL costs unless you run out of options. You also want to avoid the SD card slot area, if it's anything like the Canon DSLRs where they're both there. | |
| This is an EXCELLENT EXAMPLE why I discard used batteries: | |
| [image|2756495] | |
| + | [image|2756525] |
| + | |
| Both are from 2014 so likely original to the camera and one of them is a certified knockoff meant to pass as a Canon battery. Nope nope nope, too old and the fake is a liability. Now yes I need to keep these for the return period but once that's over I can discard them without consequence. I may run the 2014 real pack until it's too old but I will not be using that knockoff. |

| + | Check to see if it's swollen; the D5300 is old enough this is enough of a concern enough I would pull any battery over 5 years out of service as a precaution as it leads to this problem -- yeah, my rule for cameras is 3 years have a new battery ready at all times, 5 end of service/replace now, previous spare becomes the main and new battery is the spare. I shorten it to a replace in 1 year/3 year max service life if I got the camera used and do not know (if I don't buy a new one after buying the camera and use the one it came with until it's getting tired), or I jumped it to get it to charge -- simply because it can do some damage being mostly unregulated and an EMERGENCY fix. |

| + | ***The reason for this wide gap? For used cameras, I don't know the age of it so I consider it "consumed" and act accordingly (but use it as long as it holds a charge), jumped packs can be a liability to a point I will do it in a jam and only for 5 minutes max and go back to a correct charger -- accepting it does some pack damage. For a new in the box camera I bought new, I will run 3/replace, 5 EOS and replace EOS with old battery being the new old pack to avoid expansion problems.***[br] |
| I would rather replace the battery before it happens and be criticized by others for being picky about it because they had to spend 5 minutes waiting on me to replace it then find out it developed a problem, especially with many using softcell bare cells on a BMS. | |
| If it is, what you may be able to do (with caution!) is stick a thin tool with removable adhesive on it after unlatching the battery to get it out, then pull the camera out of service until I could get a replacement and recycle the battery. I would rather have the camera out of service temporarily if this happened, even once.[br] | |
| A cut plastic card should be enough, so avoid metal at ALL costs unless you run out of options. You also want to avoid the SD card slot area, if it's anything like the Canon DSLRs where they're both there. |
