Can I use a EN-EL18A, EN-EL18B, EN-EL18C, EN-EL18D battery instead of a EN-EL18?

The EN-EL18 / EN-EL18A / EN-EL18B / EN-EL18C / EN-EL18D batteries share the same shape and contacts, so they fit the same cameras. Older versions hold less charge, and some newer bodies limit features such as in-camera USB charging or the fastest burst with an older cell, so check the camera maker's compatibility note.
