Nikon EN-EL3e Rechargeable Li-Ion Battery for D200, D300, D700 and D80 Digital SLR Cameras

What can I say? It performs just as the one that came with the D80. Long life - bought it more as an emergency spare and to rotate so the batteries lasts longer. Legit Nikon product.

We have forgotten and left the camera on all night, we have flashed, flashed, and flashed some more. It has a lot of power and is well suited to the camera.

I almost bought a 3rd party battery for twice as much at local electronics retailer... so glad I decided to check with amazon.com first.

oNE CAN NEVER HAVE ENOUGH BATTERIES IF ONE IS AN ACTIVE SHOOTER. THERE IS NOTHING WORSE THAN RUNNING OUT OF "JUICE" IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TRIP OF A LIFETIME. tHEREFORE, ONE NEEDS TO HAVE MORE THAN ONE BATTERY READY TO GO IN ONES KIT AT ALL TIMES. THIS BATTERY IS SIMILAR TO THE ONE THAT COMES WITH THE LATEST NIKON DIGITAL SLR CAMERAS AND IS EASY TO CHARGE IN THE CHARGING UNIT WHICH COMES WITH THE CAMERA. ONE HAS TO MAKE SURE THAT ONE GETS THE PROPER UNIT INORDER TO INSURE COMPATABILITY WITH ONES CAMERA.

I always carry a back up battery in my camera bag. This one was purchased for My D300. So far this fits the bill as either the primary or back up.
