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.

I used one for a year and a half in my D5100 before the camera stopped recognizing it as a compatible battery (likely the internal IC chip developed a fault). The warranty is three years so I contacted Blue Nook (the vendor). After a short phone conversation with a very nice gentleman he sent me not one, but FOUR replacement batteries at no cost to me! I have been using them in rotation for a couple of months now with no issues. I did not have to return the old battery, so in theory it should still be usable in a battery grip alongside a fully working battery (although I have not tried yet).

Try Google with camera model number. My charger is after-market, not from Nikon.

I bought an off-brand battery charger for my EN-EL3e Nikon battery (about 7 years old). The battery just died. Don't know if this is related or not.

Hi Ramki, i didn't try charging them with the oem charger but i can tell you that i was very satisfied with the purchase. I got them for a vacation at the beach, after reading in reviews about oem ones that they don't last too long. So first day of use, Nikon battery was drained after 3 hours of light usage. I put the wassabi in and to my surprise i got the rest of the day out of it. From that moment on, i only used wassabi for the rest of the week, always lasted through the day, including many pictures and lots of video. The charger that comes in the package is actually much less bulkier than the oem. In my opinion, this was an excellent purchase, considering the price paid.

Yes, this battery is just like those from Nikon, charges and behaves the same. Only thing I haven't really kept track of is whether or not the number of shots per charge is the same as the Nikon battery but I believe it is.

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...

As I noted in my follow up review, the Wasabi battery I purchased worked only for a few days and then would show the "Not Compatible" error on our D5100. I was not able to resolve the issue and ultimately purchased a Nikon battery.

Yes: There is a stock Nikon Battery in the camera. There is a "off brand" packaged spare battery in the bundle kit. Depending on use in camera, the spare holds up almost as well as the Nikon stock battery.

I purchased a D 70 S Nikon from Amazon that included a Nikon MH 18A Quick Charger. I Googled that model # and found at least 2 available from Amazon. The charger works well. I also recommend the purchase of a second ( or third battery ) that is available quite reasonably. Mike Thal

unfortunately there are a LOT of different chargers; first time around, i bought the wrong one. best go to Nikon website and request charger for coolpix510 and find out which letters/numbers of the charger you need. then go buy it on amazon (since Nikon doesn't mail order. PHEW

The battery I bought was shown with Nikon packaging and logos. It appears to be Nikon made and no problems.

Mine's worked perfectly since day one. On one occasion several months ago the camera didn't recognize the second battery, but unplugging and reinstalling the battery pack cured that. Actually, I think I forgot to turn off the camera when changing batteries. Just make sure the camera is turned off when removing or reinstalling the battery pack. I'm very happy with this unit. I'll admit I do use ONLY Nikon brand batteries, though. I've learned over the years to be a bit skittish about third party brand batteries in my Nikon DSLR's.

The battery is original (Nikon brand), but is the battery only, it doesn't include any charger.

I have an after market grip from amazon for my Nikon D7100. I can't remember the brand name but it was $48 and change. The batteries work great. I getting another set for my trip to Spain this month. Don't want to miss a moment.
