I used the camera for 1 hour taking pictures and then the battery showed me less then half icon. I have Nikon EN-EL12 3.7.V 1050mAh 3.9Wh. Normal?

I don't believe that it is. I used mine to video almost the entire Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Parade and then all of the fireworks after plus lots of pictures taken in the park before and after the parade. I did make sure it was fully charged before I went to Disney but I still had plenty of battery left when I got home.

This is normal behavior if you are using the charger that comes with the camera. That charger is for charging batteries; it does not provide power to the camera. There is a separate AC adapter available that you can plug into the camera to provide power. That adapter is model number EH-62A from Nikon.

I use one (EN-EL14A) on my D3200 and it performs well. I have been using it a couple of months, maybe charged 10 times. I would guess that I get about 40% more pictures with this battery compared to the stock Nikon battery (EN-EL14). It depends if I am using the internal flash a lot or not. As for charging it, when the camera warns me that I have a low battery, I just put it in the stock Nikon charger until the charger until it indicates charge. I would recommend it and the price is goof too.

Hello Scott! I'm sorry to know that it's not working, hope you return it and get a new one or refunding your money. I'm using the battery for some 6 months or more and it's working fine so far with my Nikon D3100. I'm switching from the original battery and the replacement ProGo battery to have always a fully charged one available, are you using only the Progo?

It doesn't take much time to charge the Nikkon's battery (less than 1 hour for sure!) and as it is lithium it lasts a lot of time. Of course it depends on the quality of photos you're taking. To more pixels and to higher quality the camera needs more battery and memory. When I bought this camera it came with 2 lithium batteries and a grip which enables you to add 4 AA batteries. If I were you I would buy a back-up to make sure you don't run out of battery while taking pictures. Photographers advise to do it. I hope this information will be useful to you.

It is genuine. I bought the EN-EL5 Nikon battery for my Coolpix p5000 as a second battery before going to Russia. They are hard to find. Local stores didin't have them in stock. Glad I did. One ran down a charge in the middle of a wonderful tour, so I used the backup. Nikon told me if you don't use the Nikon brand you will void your warranty. There are others that will fit if you want to take the chance. I recommend having 2. I was also told that when you charge the battery that has to be done inside the camera, to remove your memory card first in case the battery should leak. You won't ruin pix on the card.

I took 146 photos and used about 1/3 battery, however, I used a LI-50B battery and it only used 1/3 of its battery.

Not sure. I like it I had the same camera for a year and a half and I took about 7000 pictures. I it was getting a little loose on the knob for changing settings and the battery door had to be taped shut so I bought a new one

No i have been having problems with my battery also. In the manual it says that there is a small light that lights up when it is charging..i plugged it in accoarding to what the manual says and the light has never turned on. I charged the camera over night and it will only turn on it it is plugged into the charger....anyone have any advice on this?

There is a little delay. More on some settings than others. I would say the battery life is good but I would recommend having a backup. I haven't had the camera for long and I'm no expert so I don't know what would be considered normal usage. I have shot over a hundred pictures on one battery and that is with some playing around with the camera also. Hope this helps.

OK, the battery I found was recognized by the G1 that I have with firmware version 1.4 and the original 14-45 lense. The battery I received read full charge when installed and I haven't charged it yet. It took @180 shots before the battery indicator changed, which makes me suspicious that the it will read true. Some circumvent the indicator to by pass the ID sensor. The battery "feels" a little lighter than the oem.Here is the link to the battery I got:DMW-BLB13 Battery For Panasonic G10 G2 GF1 GH1 1300mAhDon't trust the link 100%, it comes up differently at times. The battery I got was the Eforcity DMW-BLB13 for the G2, G10. I got mine directly from Eforcity.

I had a similar problem (battery wouldn't hold a charge). I purchased another replacement from Amazon and still the same problem. I sent the camera to the Nikon repair facility in Long Island NY and they sent it back in the same condition with the note that I used a non-Nikon battery. I played that game and ordered a Nikon battery, charged it up and, you guessed it, same problem. Sent it back to Nikon with the Nikon battery and got it back with the same condition. My assessment? That repair facility is staffed by idiots who are unsupervised and I purchased a Sony camera to replace the Nikon. End of story.

Maybe I just got a "lemon" but mine doesn't hold the charge at all. Compared to the original battery which came with the camera, its run time is perhaps 40%.

And you said you ARE using genuine Nikon batteries? I read where some of the cheaper batteries do not have a chip that nikon cameras read as an authentic battery. A lot of the grips are having problems with "non-chipped" batteries..... Just a thought

I have not had that problem. I would suspect that the battery is not good. If you have not had the camera very long, check and see if you can send the camera and battery back. Or maybe check with some place in your community that tests batteries to see if the battery is the problem. I don't mean to insult your intelligence, but I have done this before. Are you sure you are inserting the battery the correct way?
