For my Coolpix B600, I want to have a spare battery or two for long days on nature trails.  Lots of EN-EL12 listings on Amazon, such as this:

https://www.amazon.c.../dp/B00WFFX8L6/

 

Not sure if I can trust this and not even sure if I can trust an Amazon listing that uses the word "OEM" to indeed be OEM.  

 

What is a reliable source for a genuine EN-EL12 battery?  Are my suspicions incorrect and are these random listings reliable sources of batteries for my camera?

The genuine EN-EL12 seems to be on backorder everywhere. B&H and Adorama are safe places to order from. They have booth OEM and third-party, but they are open about which is which.
 

Nikon USA have a list of Authorized dealers. https://cdn-6.nikon-...uth_dealers.pdf

Ty - I like B&H, but they are out of stock on the OEM.  I just realized that my Coolpix S9100 uses the same battery, so I already have one extra. I should be fine carrying it and a portable battery pack and the USB cable in my backpack, but will end up getting one more battery.
