Review: Excellent Battery - I purchased this to have a backup for when I was conducting long shoots. I have found that I typically do not use both batteries on most shoots. Actually, I've found that I will fill up 40gb worth of SDHC cards before I switch out batteries when I'm shooting RAW+JPG on my Nikon D7000 . Nikon gives a couple of different ratings for how many shots you can get on a full charge with this battery. Testing according to the CIPA standard show this battery can take 1,050 shots on a single charge. Under these test conditions the room temperature is 73.4 degrees Fahrenheit (+/- 3.6 degrees). A Nikon 18-105mm lens is used. The focus is moved from infinity to minimum focus and a shot is taken every 30 seconds. The on board Speedlight flash is fired every other shot. This does not use live view. Nikon's own test conditions yield much better numbers per charge. At 68 degrees Fahrenheit with a Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 VRII lens and an image quality of JPG basic, medium. The shutter release is pressed halfway down and the focus is cycled from infinity to minimum range three times. Six shots are taken in a burst at 1/250 of a second shutter speed. The LCD monitor is then turned on for five seconds then turned off. This is repeated once the exposure meter has turned off. Nikon's own test conditions yielded approximately 4,500 shots per charge. This truly incredible. I have easily taken more than 800 to 1000 shots on a charge. A big part of the number of shots I get is how much I review them on the LCD. This is the largest drain of power. Even though this battery has an amazing life, I would suggest picking up a second. If you have two batteries you should be able to charge both the night before a big shoot and then when you swap them out, place the empty one on the charge. In about 2.5 hours, the empty battery will be refreshed. If you are not shooting 800 photos in 2.5 hours, you should be fine. If you are shooting that many photos or anywhere close to it, you should consider having two or three spare batteries and a Nikon MB-D11 Multi-Power Battery Pack that takes AA batteries in a jam. Overall, I would recommend you purchase at least one spare to keep in your bag. Its great to have when you need it and there is nothing more disappointing than not being able to take photos when the moment happens. -Cheers!
Review: This battery is a work horse - This is a great battery to use and own. Matter of fact, I own 4 of them. By day, I'm fashion photographer. One the weekend, I shoot my neighbor's girls volleyball team with my Nikon D800 when I have time. The volleyball games usually start at 7:30 AM, and depending on if the team wins a lot of loses, the games can last from 4PM or until 8PM. On a typical day, I can shoot well over 900 images, Raw + JPEGs. A fully charged battery can usually last me until about 5PM, depending on how much I shoot. If the games go very long, then I usually have a spare with me. This battery is really a work horse. I own 4 of them, because one is always in my camera. And one is always being charged in an outlet. I shoot in studio and outside, so I keep the other two in my carry bag for when I shoot outside with my backup camera, which is also a Nikon D800. Once depleted, these batteries take nearly 2 and half hours to recharge. I've had 2 of these batteries since 2012 and they are still going strong and I'm very pleased with them.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this battery work for the Nikon D810?**
A: Yes, Just make sure it is genuine Nikon a lot of off brand batteries will not work

**Q: is it compatible with Nikon D800 ?if it does not what do U recommend ?**
A: Not to answer your question exactly,  but you should be able to go to Nikon or any number of sites that sell the Nikon D800 and look under it's specifications for that specific camera  and see what type of battery it takes....   I think what the EN-EL15 means is that it is both a EN-15 and a EL-15 battery.

**Q: this battery can i use for NIKON D610? please, thank you**
A: If you go to Nikon's website you will see that yes it is the correct Battery.  But Do not buy from AMAZON.  I bought 2 and both were defective. Buy them from Bestbuy.

**Q: what is the capacity ? how many mAh**
A: According to the Nikon Website 7.0v and 1900 mAh power.http://www.nikonusa.com/en/Nikon-Products/Product/Batteries/27011/EN-EL15-Rechargeable-Li-ion-Battery.html

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Battery Life for My Nikon D7000
*by S***E on June 21, 2011*

I've had my Nikon D7000 for a few weeks and decided to purchase a spare/backup battery. I have learned from previous experiences to purchase real Nikon batteries. From my research over the Internet, Amazon had the lowest price and it took about 4 days to arrive at my doorstep. So far, I have taken roughly 700 pictures on a single charge. I use my LCD display a lot to verify/check settings and the composition of pictures taken. I'm sure if I spent less time previewing, I would have a longer battery life. I'm not complaining as 700 pictures is a lot for a single battery charge in my opinion. My battery fully recharges in under 2-1/2 hours. You can't go wrong getting this real Nikon EN-EL15 battery. I am happy with my purchase. I will be back to post updates on the number of pictures taken on a single charge. ** Update 07/10/11 ** This battery took over 1400 pictures on a single charge. I mostly used non-VR lenses about 80% of the time and didn't use the LCD monitor as much as I did when I first got the camera. This battery exceeded my expectations. ** Update 07/16/11 ** Third battery charge and I took over 1300 pictures! Awesome! ** Update 08/21/11 ** I'm consistently averaging over 1200 pictures per battery charge. I've noticed after fully charging a battery and storing it in my camera bag, that it will lose about 3% of the charge until I get a chance to use it.
