Needed a new battery for an older Nikon D90. Great service.

Not bad for the price compared to Nikon batteries, but they don't seem to last nearly as long. They also seem to charge to fast, i don't know if that has anything to do with them draining quickly, but they charge much faster than i feel they should. maybe they aren't taking a full charge even though my battery meter says they are full.But $20 for 2 batteries, and a charger...it's really tough to complain about anything. They work as they should, they fit like the original Nikon D200 batteries, and the price is fantastic for what you get. Even the packaging is really nice, i was impressed.The only reason i give three stars is because i don't feel that the high capacity claim is really there.EDIT...I feel the need to edit my review, and give this product / company 5 stars.( I have left my original review attached so yoou can see the issue i had, and below i mention how to solve the issue) After having trouble with the initial two batteries i had purchased, the company got in touch with me, they went above and beyond to fix my problem and as a customer i really appreciate a company that reaches out when there is a problem.I received a new set of batteries to compare to the two i had originally purchased, and yes, it turns out there was a slight issue with the first set. The first set of batteries came to a full charge very quickly, under 15 minutes, and only lasted for about 50 shots before they were drained, and i didn't know whether or not the charger was at fault, or if it was the batteries. After one or two initial charges, the first set of batteries is now taking a full charge, and reaching full capacity. I went to a family function and shot around 70+ images in .jpg and left with 3/4 charge still on the battery, so they have great capacity ! Depending on your camera settings and LCD usage, i would say that 150 to 200 frames should be normal.After receiving the new set of batteries i immediately put them on the charger that came with the first set just to verify that there was no issues with the charger, and the second set of batteries are charging as they should. So there was indeed a slight charging issue with the first set, but they are working correctly now after a couple of charges.The fit is exactly the same as the original Nikon battery, they will work in the Nikon charger as well, everything is great.And after using these now, with them getting to full capacity i can honestly say that these indeed are a higher capacity battery.( If you happen to run into this issue, just shoot photos until the battery is drained, then charge again, it should charge slower and reach full capacity the second time) ....mine are working perfect now.The charger itself has fold out prongs on the back for a 110V wall socket, as well as an adapter to use in a car. I haven't used the car the charger yet, so i can't give any feedback on that part of it.Now with my Nikon D200, i am only shooting .jpg / large / fine ....i am NOT shooting .jpg + Raw, so that has some effect on battery life. I also use an external speed light, using the on-board flash will drain the battery faster as well as using the LCD to preview your images. There are a lot of variables that will determine the actual amount of life you get from a full charge.I would like to thank Powerextra for their fantastic customer service, they did everything they could to make sure i was a happy customer.They will gain a great reputation if they continue with this quality of service, and prices.After my first impression i was satisfied with the $20 i paid for two batteries, but now i am very happy and have no complaints at all.Being manufactured in China instead of Japan also helps keeps the price low, but i see no sacrifice in quality. For those of you who are concerned about country of origin, i would have no worries with these products.In the photos i have placed my Nikon battery side by side with the Powerextra battery so you can see just how good these are made, everything on the Powerextra is exact to the original Nikon battery. No problems at all with fit, or function.

I did receive my order in a timely manner. Delivery was promised next day and next day the batteries were at my front door. I placed each of the two batteries in my camera and they had about a 3/4 charge in them, I charged them to 100% no problem.We will see how they fare in action some time in the future...

One of 2 original batteries for my Nikon D200 gave it up, so I ordered these and received them within a week. The batteries were initially a tight fit in their own charger, in the OEM charger, and even the camera itself. After initial use in each, they now form an ideal, snug fit. They accept a full charge using either charger, and the camera loves them. So far, so good.

This is a great deal. If you assign a $4 value to the "Free" charger, it means the batteries are about $8 each. Powerextra rates these batteries at 2200mah (as opposed to the 1500mah rating of the original Nikon product). I have no way of measuring the voracity of the claim, and if I stated that the battery lasted longer than the original, it would have little meaning, since I would be comparing a brand new battery to one that is a few years old. If someone has compared these batteries to a brand new Nikon EN-EL3E, that would be interesting and useful.What I can say, is that these batteries work, that they charge in the Nikon charger, and that the Nikon battery charges in the Poweextra charger. The PowerExtra charger has the advantage that it works off house current OR aux power from your car (cigarette lighter). Reading the included specifications, I notice that less current is delivered to the battery when operated using the car adapter. This, is of course not surprising, and I would expect charging to be slower using the car adapter. Still, a slow charge is better than no charge.For my application, My wife and I each have cameras that use the EN-EL3E battery (a Nikon D300 and a Nikon D700) and we can pack these batteries and have no fear that our cameras will run out of juice mid-day. QED.
