What our customer's say!

"Great buy", Great price on a very reliable product. And don't discount the importance of having 2 batteries. There is nothing worse than having a great shot and a dead battery.

"Life Saver", Recently needed an extra battery due to a backpacking trip to Europe. I couldn't have survived without this battery. Charges quickly and it made my life easier and less stressful while shooting over two thousand shots. A definite recommend for both the casual photographer as well as the everyday all day camera expert.

"The real thing", If you have a Nikon camera, go for a Nikon battery. There are other brands out there, but after searching through several forums and reading the stories there, I will not put anything else into my camera.

"Battery Review", Received in a timely manner. Works really well. For some reason my last Nikon EnEl3a battery died on me.
Was about one and half years old. Stopped receiving a charge. Didn't do anything out of line to cause it. I buy Nikon since I was advised by someone I respect to do so. So far it's been a great battery despite the one losing it's charge. I keep two on hand for shooting pictures. The battery works really well in the camera and have had no problems with it other than problem described. Anyone else had this problem?

"Short Life", I was very disappointed with this battery. I can shoot maybe 500 shots with this one and shoot over 1,000 with the one that came with my Nikon D50. Maybe I just got a bad battery.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"gift was appreciated", I am unable to comment on the effectiveness of the product as it was given to my daughter(an accomplished amateur photographer)as a gift. I can only attest to the fact that the product arrived on time in good condition and was exactly what my daughter had requested on her holiday gift wish list.

"Crazy Good Battery - It keeps going and going...", I bought a spare battery for my D70s and charged it up one time. Since then, I have been waiting to use my spare but the original (charged hundreds of pictures ago) has been going strong for, literally, months.

Follow the directions. Don't use it until your fully charge and don't recharge until it's run down. This will help maintain battery life.

Good product from a great company.

"Misadvertising", The EN-EL3a is a works fine and with no problems. HOWEVER, AMAZON IS MISLEADING ITS CUSTOMERS BY PUTTING A LOWER PRICE FROM A PARTNER COMPANY AS THE PRIMARY PRICE OF THE ITEM. Amazon should market the item at it's price and show the partner price as an option unless the item can only be obtained from the partner. The 2 stars is not for the item but for amazon's misleading advertisment.

"Good official LiIon battery for D100, D70 and D50", I got the EN-EL3a as a free replacement for the recalled EN-EL3 battery. (Check Nikonusa dot com to see if your EN-EL3 has been recalled.) It's perfect for my D70 -- and as another reviewer has pointed out, it gives you slightly more power juice -- about 7% more. If you are looking to buy an official Nikon battery this is a good value. BTW you can find generic brands (also here on Amazon.com) for about $20. I'm not saying whether you should buy a Nikon or a generic OEM one. After all, Nikon screwed up with the EN-EL3 so I can't vouch for their safety.

Like the original EN-EL3 this is likely to be made in China.

"Works with D50", This also works on D50, mine actually came with this unit instead of the EN-EL3. It's slightly higher capacity so that's a nice bonus, plus cheaper then the EN-EL3 so it's a win-win.

I took pictures all day on just one battery so it will last a while. It's good to have as a backup anyhow.

If you're planning to upgrade to the D200, I'd suggest their new EN-EL3e, since that also will work on D50/D70 (but the opposite is not true so don't try to force a EN-EL3 or EN-EL3a into the D200!).
