My Z30 does charge with the charger and USB C cord from my Samsung Galaxy S24+. I'm not sure how long it will take for a full charge, but the charging light is blinking and the battery is showing the "charge" icon.
Sure we can, if it becomes an issue.
Have you tested that battery pack on the Z50ii? Only rated at 15W when Nikon specifies 27W. I believe the Z50 is rated different from the ii.If you get a USB battery pack it will charge all your devices, and its USB-C port will charge even the most power hungry of new Nikon cameras. You can even use your existing 20w charger to charge up the battery, since you seem pretty determined to keep that one.
$18 at Best Buy. Will charge a Zf or your Z50 II, along with a couple other things in its USB-A ports at the same time. If this doesn't work, then the camera is at fault.
Well, two cases just with me. And another user reporting a similar issue too. Did you read my bit about how it could be related to an isolated batch, rather than across all cameras? Bear in mind also that the number of people who have bought a Z50ii and who post on here is going to be a tiny fraction of all people who've recently bought the camera. I'm in the UK; I doubt more than a few thousand Z50ii's have been sold yet, total. If the issue is isolated to a certain manufacturing batch, then it is entirely possible that it's affected a very small number of buyers, perhaps a few dozen. Of all of them, it is also possible I may be the only one who posts on here. The vast majority of camera users/photographers never go near forums such as this.
Did you not read the thread properly? All chargers and cables have been tested, most of the relevant equipment passes the requirements stated in the instruction manual, and none of the tested equipment has an issue elsewhere. What you do for a living is entirely irrelevant here, as you've not been party to the process of elimination that I have undertaken to try to ascertain what the problem is. I would like to ask why you and others are still trying to assert that the problem is me/a charger/a lead, rather than the camera. You're making assumptions based on your own imagination, not on fact. This is not helpful.
So now we have another case. It's not just me. I wonder what people will make of this one?I charged my Z50ii battery in camera with a general cable I have used for my rechargeable torches etc.
It worked perfectly first time, but no matter what I do, the charging light doesn’t even glow now, and it won’t charge???
so I just charge batteries in my old Z50 charger

"general cable" doesn't mean pd compatible, etc. I think this makes our point more than yours.So now we have another case. It's not just me. I wonder what people will make of this one?I charged my Z50ii battery in camera with a general cable I have used for my rechargeable torches etc.

Well I have, and I have explained such. Please read the thread.
This is a camera. Two cameras in fact, displaying a similar problem.
Sorry No idea !!?
I don't trust in camera direct charging, as the camera is unavailable, and any AC source is vulnerable to lightening strikes. Using a stand alone charger shows up immediately if the battery requires recalibration or is faulty (one of my oldest ENEL18c failed earlier this month after countless charges).I would love an answer

My guess is the cable was marginal, and on the edge of being usable, but also possibly tripped/fried something in the process. Of course, without knowing the specs/etc, there's no way to actually know.So if the cable is inadequate ( and it could very well be) — WHY DID IT CHARGE PERFECTLY FROM ZERO POWER FIRST TIME IN 3 hours, but now same cable gives NO CHARGE OR ORANGE LIGHT??
I would love an answer
Thanks,

What you did with both cameras is use a charger, and possibly a cable, that wasn't up to spec, then, after a few occasions the camera failed. Only then did you carry out fault finding. The cameras (Which were previously working) on both occasions will no longer charge. So the possibilities are you have been given 2 cameras, that had the same fault... or your using the incorrect charger has caused the same problem on 2 cameras.
Well, there are now two different people here reporting the exact same problem. So, maybe OP’s experience does in fact “make sense.”
I don't have a Z50 II yet I strongly suspect their charging circuitry is the same or similar.Have you tested that battery pack on the Z50ii? Only rated at 15W when Nikon specifies 27W. I believe the Z50 is rated different from the ii.If you get a USB battery pack it will charge all your devices, and its USB-C port will charge even the most power hungry of new Nikon cameras.
