Product Description
The EN-EL3 is a compact Lithium-ion power supply for use exclusively with Nikon digital cameras. It can be recharged repeatedly using the MH-18 quick charger or the MH-19 multi charger. Approximately 1,600 shots can be taken with a fully charged EN-EL3 battery. Two can be used in the Multi-function battery pack MB-D100 for extended shooting periods. To charge the EN-EL3 use the MH-18 (supplied with D100), or the optional multi-charger MH-19 that charges two EN-EL3 batteries from mains power supplies 100-240V or a 12V cigar lighter.
Amazon.com Product Description
Never put yourself in the heartbreaking situation of running out of power in the middle of that once-in-a-lifetime photo opp again. The Nikon EN-EL3 Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Battery Pack is a 7.4 volt, 1400mAh rechargeable battery that will give you the juice that you need. Digital and video cameras require far more power than their older film-based counterparts. They do and show a lot more, and therefore they need a lot more power. For instance, most have large LCD displays allowing you to skip having to squint through tiny optical viewfinders when composing shots, and most also allow instant playback or reviewing shots taken, giving you the opportunity to erase lousy shots right away. These are great features to have, but they draw power from your batteries. Adding an extra battery pack as a back up is a safe way to guarantee you never miss that perfect shot again. The Nikon EN-EL3 Rechargeable Battery Pack requires either the MH18 or MH19 charger, sold separately. The battery is compatible with the Nikon D50, D70, D70s and D100 digital cameras.

 Not as adverised, wondering if it is just as good?? December 25, 2005

I ordered this product on 12/15/05. I got a knock off brand. The box not only says video camera battery (then it also states its "for Nikon EN-EL3"), it isn't what is pictured above. The battery has no label for it being of the Nikon brand, and no writing on the front of the battery. It only has "for Nikon" printed on the back along with its origin (cell from Japan, made in China). It is a 7.4v but you are getting a 1500mah and not a 1400mah (I don't know if that part is a big concern, just falsely advertised). I have contacted the seller for a refund. Is it reliable although it has a 12month warranty. Any comments on this, please?? I don't know what this brand is called, it just says "Video Camera Battery, Lithium Ion High Energy" and that's it?!?! I would beware, what you see is not what you get! Although, the knock off could be as reliable, who knows? If someone else has had this problem, but kept the battery, did it work fine for you???
Thanks
UPDATE 12/27/05: Seller contacted me and said it was a mistake, that "After looking at your order i noticed are battery was on a nikon page. It was never suppose to be on that page and i am sorry, that is are fault. But i can guarantee you that the battery you have will work just as good as Nikon brand" I appriciated the honesty and I believe they are working to correct the issue. Therefore I am going to keep it for the price and I hope all goes well.

It's all be said before no matter what reviews you read on this original Nikon EN-EL3, this battery has LASTING power! I bought a spare when I got my D70 nearly a year ago, only because I don't like to ever be without juice. Last week I shot nearly an entire wedding 8+ hours of constant use with my D70 and SB-800 and didn't have to change batteries until nearly the end of the night. The prices have come down quite a bit so, invest and get yourself a spare.
Nikon-branded battery for D70, D100 January 16, 2005

IMPORTANT UPDATE (Dec. 2005): Do NOT buy the official Nikon EN-EL3 battery! It has been recalled by Nikon due to short circuit hazard. Details can be found at nikonusa dot com (click the "EN-EL3 battery recall" link). Repeat: this model has been recalled by Nikon, so do not buy. The EN-EL3a or EN-EL3b are compatible replacement models for the EN-EL3. Neither is subject to recall.
My original review from Jan. 2005 follows:
This "genuine" Nikon EN-EL3 battery works in the D70 and D100 digital SLR cameras. The origin can be either Japan or China; apparently Nikon outsources the manufacturing to other companies. (I was able to verify this countries of origin information on Nikon's website.) For $15 cheaper you can get a compatible battery made by a company that licenses Energizer's brand; just search for "EN-EL3" here on Amazon and pick the one that says "by Energizer." That one is also good and although it's a generic, it does have the Energizer name (even if not actually made by Energizer). You might want to check that out. Of course, if you are super-concerned about safety -- personal and equipment -- you should stick with the official Nikon-licensed battery, which is this one.

The genuine Nikon EN-EL3 lasts for over 1000 flash pictures but when the battery dies, it dies fast! You need to keep a fully charged spare in your camera bag. I have 2 EN-EL3 battery packs, one came with my D100, and one purchased as a spare. Both were made in Japan. I wish my cell phone battery would last this long!
