Generic battery Trying to decide if i should buy an generic battery for my d5000. Can any of the ones sold on Amazon damage my camera? Anyone have any luck with a generic battery?

I bought my backup battery on Duracelldirect.com. I have NEVER had a problem with it, nor can I tell any difference from my NIKON battery. It was priced right and it had a warranty. Completely satisfied.

John I have had my Kodak Camera since March of 2005 and wouldn't trade it for anything so I know how you feel. My original battery would not hold a charge either. I'm told that this will happen eventually with all batteries if kept long enough. I purchased from Amazon a new Kodak KLIC-5001 Lithium-Ion battery and have not had a single issue or regret. I suggest that if you love your current camera that much order yourself at least two while you can. Do it now before it's too late. Good luck and happy clicking.

Hi Meghan, I doubt anybody would take time to compare and find out how long it lasts. To me, they are the same. I have been using generic battery as long I can remember. No problem so far.

Purchased 2 of these batteries for my Nikon 1V1 (It said they would be compatible with my camera). However, my camera rejected them (I am paraphrasing here but it indicated I should install the proper batteries for my camera.) I purchased a couple of Wasabi Power batteries for Nikon En-El15 and the first thing I did was test them in my camera. The camera accepted each one without a problem. They just arrived a couple of days ago and I have a fully charged battery in my camera already so I don't know the battery life of these batteries yet.

Yes, this is a Nikon battery. There are less expensive "non-Nikon" ones out there that are very high rated, but I paid extra just to get the Nikon brand. The one con that kept coming up with the other brands was that the battery didn't stay charged as long. People were saying that if you fully charged the other brands and just let the batter set there outside the camera, it would loose most of it's charge in a day or two.

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?

Check to see if you model battery for the D5000 is supported by one of their chargers.

No, the D5000 takes an EN-EL9 or EN-EL9a (longer life) battery pack. Not sure why Nikon made different battery packs for the D5000 and D5100.

I have used my replacement EN-EL14 extra-capacity battery on my D5100 for a year and a half with no problems. The stock Nikon charger that came with the D5100 continues to charge both the original and the extra-capacity batteries properly. While I cannot speak for everyone, the extra-capacity replacement still works as good as new and outlasts the original battery and the stock D5100 charger has no issue charging either battery. I've charged both batteries at least 10 times.

I used MH-25 chrger which came with D7000. I was not availble to chage this wasabi en-el15 replacement.I'm not sure how other people are satisfied. Maybe they are using other charger. From day one, I could not use this battery. I rather get original nikon en-el15.

Very good question and I wish I asked that before i purchased. Initially, both batteries worked in my "D3200" but after a few uses now only 1 works. Spend the extra $ andget the Nikon batteries...

A representative of the company that makes the battery in question, explaining that it truly does work in my camera. The explanation soundedreasonable and I appreciated the call. I have not needed to use the battery so can't tell if it works, but will try it in the future. Thanks for asking. MP

I'm glad someone brought this to attention. I also have a battery (Power2000 FOR NIKON EN-EL14 7.4V 1500mAh 11.1Wh) that doesn't work. Although it worked for the first two months after I received my kit, I noticed that the camera was not taking it after I would insert and turn on the camera, the screen would say: "! This battery cannot be used. Choose battery designated for this camera." My other battery works well but it was sure nice to have had a backup before this.

It's the same battery. It also fits a d700. However, I would try to stay with genuine Nikon batteries. They last longer and they're pretty good batteries. Sometimes when you purchase a different type battery you can be easily disappointed. There are less expensive batteries , but remember there's nothing like the original equipment. Good luck Kathi.

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.

This battery worked well on my D3100, and now I use it my D5300. Work well and last about 600 photos or so.
