I would like to get an extra battery for my D3100. Has anyone bought a non-Nikon replacement battery?

You definately need more than one battery for this camera. They drain faster than I have ever expereinced, esp. in cold weather. They do charge quickley though.It is the only weak point of the camera that I have come across -not bad , and for the price ...amazing! I have not tried aftermarket batteries in this camera but I use Vivitar batteries in my Olympus Stylus with no difference.

if you want to save couple of bucks then buy a 3rd party battery but if you care about your camera, then just get the genuine nikon battery. Its better

You need to call the manufacturer. From what I can remember, the proper manufacturer makes the batteries for Nikon with the Nikon chip. They then make their own battery and charger also with this chip. I'm 66 and this is my daughter's camera, so to the best I can remember this looks like the proper set up. I also remember the battery held a longer charge, and when I did get the right one my daughter said it worked great. I've always loved photography, and that is a great camera. Mike

Yes to all. You will likely want another battery as a back-up and a larger memory card. There are many battery brands, other than Nikon, that are significantly less expensive.

I don't think its the right cord for the d3100. Check a camera site for accessories for that camera.

It is a CON. The battery is used for other Nikon cameras with good results. Remember that these batteries take a couple of discharge cycles to reach their full potential. You can but extra chargers and batteries on the web which is the first thing I do. Then I always have a backup.

I was informed by reading info and some chat that if your model is not listed in the info of the battery it might not work. my wife has the d3100 and it took a little time to find this replacement . good luck, it's out there.

Adilah, I've never had to worry about the purchase of an extra battery, I just make sure to charge my camera once the battery indicator shows "low battery". Also, if you remove your battery from the camera, you'll be able to see the type of battery required if in the event you do choose to purchase a secondary battery.

i bought two of the "Nextop-2 Packs Nikon EN-EL9 Brand New 1800mAh COMPATIBLE Battery for Nikon D40, D40x, D60" from here on amazon for my d40x which has a aftermarket battery grip and have been extremely happy. they outlast the standard nikon battery and i have had no compatibility issues with them whatsoever. i don't have an aftermarket charger and have been using all the batteries with the nikon charger that came with my camera.

It is in fact the original Nikon battery. I read comments that talked about other people getting a knock off battery. I inquired with Amazon and they assured me it was the battery as shown. It is my understanding that if you click on others listed like buy used for less you will get and after market battery. I'm very happy with my purchase, I hope this helps. Michael

I believe Nikon hasn't really changed the battery size or configuration. I have a D3100 and it works for that.

If you Google Nikon D3200 battery, this is the battery (ENEL14) the D3200 camera. This is the same battery as in the D3100, and it works just fine in my D3100. The charger doesn't appear to be 220v compatible. It is 1500mAh, which is 1500 milliamp hours.

They work great for me, no problems at all. Although I'm using a d3200, your cameras calls for the same battery. If you have any reservations send the seller an E-mail, as long as you're buying from somewhat of a camera accessory vendor. They would know from any backlash from other buyers.

The extra battery in the kit is not a Nikon product, it is made by a company called Power2000. Please note that only the camera, the case, and the cleaning kit in this bundle are Nikon brand products.

Yes, I purchased 3 batteries like 1 year ago and they work like my original Nikon Battery, very good batteries I can recommend it 100%

I am not sure, I have the D3200, the replacement batteries are great for helping when the Nikon battery is charging and for days. It is not as strong of charge as the Nikon battery. If needed for just normal use while waiting on the Nikon to recharge it is great.

I bought this exact battery and it is indeed a real Nikon battery in a Nikon box with care and charging instructions! I bought it as a spare, installed it in my D3200 and it works just as the original does!

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?
