The last time I was out with some Photog friends, I ran into a guy with a Nikon D810. He had this battery in his MB-D12 grip:

It is NOT a Nikon Battery. It is a DSTE EN-EL18A 3900mAh Full-Coded Battery Pack for Nikon D800 / D800E MB-D12 Grip for $56 SHIPPED to your HOUSE in Canada!!
I have talked about DX.com on PN before as I have ordered items from them in the past. Long shipping time but the stuff they send is nice quality for the price.
Go to the Website and check this out. In the past, I have warned a lot of people about not putting garbage batteries in their grips. This battery seems to be fairly good quality from my experience holding it. See pic above. They guy who owns it has had very good results with it, lasts a long time and he is pleased with his purchase!
Plus, it is a fraction of the Nikon battery, in terms of price. $229.95
