can Nikon tell if one uses this Battery in one of its cameras? This could be an excuse to void ones warranty.

Battery does not void your warranty unless the battery explode, or you purchase the wrong size battery with the wrong voltage. Otherwise it is just another moving part such as putting on a sigma lens on a Nikon camera.

It appears to be a Genuine Nikon EN-EL3e battery. on the other side there will be a hologram and the Nikon name on a sticker. I bought a battery once that wasn't genuine and didn't notice it for a while but so far not problems. It's about 3.5 years old now and some of my other Nikon batteries are 4 and 5 years old.

Not sure if this will help or not. I bought the same battery for my Nikon D3100 some time ago and it worked fine. Nikon then released a firmware upgrade for the D3100 and apparently this upgrade stopped the Wasabi battery from being compatible. Fortunately (for me) I read about the incompatibility before I knew that the Nikon upgrade was available so never installed the new firmware. I suspect that something similar has happened with the D5100.

I hear you. I can think of several reasons to put off returning the camera. If it ain't broke... Also, as the recall picks up steam, the delay getting it back might increase. IMHO, just keep in mind the impression I get from reading the Nikon groups, and that is, it *will* fail, in fairly short order. Seems right to me, otherwise, Nikon would have dealt with this on a case-by-case basis rather than recalling *every* unit. So, my (unsolicited) advice would be (a) make sure you get this fixed before the warranty runs out; and (b) if you have a must-do situation (like professional gig or once-in-a-lifetime vacation) have a viable backup with you.

It is a genuine Nikon battery. I find it to have excellent longevity. Highly recommended.

If you go to Nikon's website you will see that yes it is the correct Battery. But Do not buy from AMAZON. I bought 2 and both were defective. Buy them from Bestbuy.

No. It is the right form factor but the internals of the battery are built in such a way that they discharge quickly. One genuine Nikon battery will outlast these 3-4 times.

WARNING: after a little over a year, BOTH batteries have swollen so that they have to be forcibly pried out of the camera. The original Nikon battery, a year older, is still fine.

If your have the latest updates to your camera they will not work. If Nikon finds you are using them it voids your warranty. They will work if you do not have the latest update on your camera. Mind do not hold half the charge of the original one I got with the camera and its 2 years old already.

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 don't know whether this will help or not. A recent firmware upgrade to the Nikon D3100 made non OEM batteries non functional (even if they worked fine before the upgrade) This affected several Nikon cameras but the D3100 is the only one that I am certain about. If I had to put money on it though I think that the D5100 was one of the lines affected. Unfortunately I don't think that the firmware upgrade can be rolled back.

I would say they made an error...send it back;but call them first! Look up number for Nikon on internet.

Any time I take my camera on vacation, or before I take it anyplace, I put a battery in the charger. I have seen no difference in these or the Nikon brand while using them. Much cheaper then Nikon.

The battery contains a microchip that is readable by the camera. In the case of many battery manufacturers, the code included on the chip is not completely compatible with the Nikon D7000, and the battery does not register as charged when inserted in the camera. The Wasabi battery does seem to be fully recognized by the camera.

Most everything about Nikon seems over priced. It is a swell battery, however. Want to trust your $1K+ camera to who knows what?
