Battery does not charge through either the USB or a power outlet with Nikon's own charger. If this has happened to you what fixed the problem?

Yes, this is the second time it has happened to me. I will try with universal charger when I get home or have to buy another battery within 6 months. .

Try plugging the cord into the power outlet first, and then plugging it into the camera. If the green light doesn't start to blink, then you may also need to hit the "on" button on the camera. (Apparently there is some kind of glitch in the software that stops some cameras from going into automatic charge mode.) You may want to check the Nikon site and see if there is an update to the camera firmware, also.

It sounds like you may have a defective unit that needs to be replaced. Maybe it's just the cable that needs replacing?

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'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.

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

@ stz417...Did you fix this problem with D300 battery?...I am having the same problem. Thanks.

Have you completely charged the battery? Maybe after charging, try to shut down and recheck battery status. I did not have any issues with mine, I just popped mine in and it worked great. It said they had a great support system, I would give Anker a call. Good Luck!

i called nikon to find out which usb cord i needed. try calling them. i am sorry i could not be more help.

With the cable included and a powered USB Hub, that is all you need for charging. Nikon has separate chargers for the battery, do a search.

It's a moot point because Nikon updated the camera software about a year ago and these batteries are no longer "recognized" by the camera. Sorry.

Several possibilities; are you using a genuine Nikon battery or a third party battery? Do not leave the power of the MB-D14 on when not in use; the connection between the battery and the power pack may need cleaning: use DENATURED alcohol to clean all connections on battery, power pack as well as the camera. If all that fails contact Nikon directly: they may have some other suggestions. Good luck!

Try a new battery. Mine has worked fine. Be sure camera is set on remote connection so the remote and camera "see" each other.

It's probably stuck, wedge a paper clip or small flat head screw driver in flash slot and wiggle it out gently. If this doesn't work send it back to Nikon, that part is under warranty.

Sorry, can't help. The charger that came with the camera NEVER worked. Sent it back in good time and had to call them repeatedly before they sent me a replacement. And that did not work either. Missed several photo shoots. Finally ordered and received one from Amazon that did work.

Hi Patricia,the battery of the camera is charged using the dedicated battery charger BC-CSK. The battery cannot be charged in the camera. Thanks_Mitch

I have charged my batteries both with the original Nikon charger and the new one that comes with the grip. They both work. I usually charge all of them at the same time so I use them both anyway.

If you cant get the battery to charge there may be a problem with the camera, the adapter or the cable. The easiest thing to check is the adapter, about $$35 from National Camera Exchange. If it is not the adapter it may be in the camera circuit in which case you may need to purchase a different camera from amazon like I did.
