We know. You tell us so often. I have a Nikon. That’s why I buy Nikon batteries. Canon ones don’t fit.
I only had one Nikon in my life and I left it at my old residence. However it was a cheap model so I have no experience with the $400-$500 Nikon line and how they compare with the Canon.

Don’t buy off brand cheap batteries. They could damage your camera. Always stick to well known manufacturers.

FWIW, I've been using aftermarket batteries for about 13 years. No issues, however I would never charge any Lithium battery in camera as problems are more likely to happen during the charge cycle.

That said I do not use my cameras for video, nor do I view images for extended periods of time on the camera screen. Those are two operations that will put an extra load on batteries. And this is Canada so the cameras seldom see ambient temps warmer than 80° F.

I only charge in camera when it's connected to the Mac. I also rarely use my Powershot for video, as my Vixia is much better designed for this task.
