Nikon EN-EL5 Lithium ion Battery for Digital Cameras

Nikon EN-EL5 Lithium ion Battery for Digital Cameras

Strengths: This battery works great. I 'd buy it again for sure. It charged in less than 2 hours, it's compact and it's a nikon.

Weakness: none that I can determine

Very reasonably priced. I was surprised that a rechargeable, lithium-ion battery would be priced so low. I feel confident I will get a long life from a nikon product.

Nikon EN-EL5 Lithium ion Battery for Digital Cameras

Strengths: Small size, holds charge well, long life.

Weakness: None that I know of.

The battery lasts a long time, providing longer camera usage time before a recharge is required. I got one EN-EL5 with my Nikon camera and purchased a second one recently to use as a backup battery. The Nikon MH-61 charger is convenient and relatively fast for charging these EN-EL5 batteries. Highly recommended, although with my Nikon Coolpix 4200 these batteries are my only option.

Nikon EN-EL5 Lithium ion Battery for Digital Cameras

Strengths: OEM Product.

Weakness: Non found.

This is the only rechargeable battery that Nikon supports for the CP3700, 4200 & 5200. Though cheaper aftermarket versions are available, the monetary difference is not a significant amount & Nikon does not gurantee aftermarket batteries to be compatible with their cameras. A fully depleted battery charges in just under two hours, which isn't too bad considering it can take about 200 pictures...

Nikon EN-EL5 Lithium ion Battery for Digital Cameras

Strengths: Reasonable cost, charges fast

Weakness: None

I bought an extra Nikon-branded EN-EL5 for my Coolpix 3700 camera, and am quite satisified with it. It's relatively cheap for a proprietary battery, it seems to last pretty well, and it charges in under 2 hours. The battery comes with a snug-fitting plastic cap to protect the terminals and it fits nicely into my close-fitting Nikon 3700 carrying case.

Nikon EN-EL5 Lithium ion Battery for Digital Cameras

Strengths: Small form factor, quick charging, long lasting, regular retail battery [CP1] will be widely available soon.

Weakness: Could be less expensive

Small size works well with new compact cameras like the Nikon Coolpix 3700. If you like the convienience of a small compact camera you need a good small compact power source. What can you say - it is Nikon!

Nikon EN-EL5 Lithium ion Battery for Digital Cameras

Strengths: Genuine Nikon, so no camera-warranty conflict. No risk of some slightly cheaper, off-brand battery damaging expensive camera. Tiny, compact cell is size of a matchbox.

Weakness: Proprietary, versus NiMH or Li-Ion AAs or AAAs. Two hours to charge. Coolpix 5200 discharges battery quickly.

For a Nikon camera, stick with a Nikon battery, rather than risk potential power issues with your camera's electronics. I recommend buying AT LEAST TWO of these batteries (beyond the one included with your camera), given the high drain of cameras like the Coolpix 5200. For example, while charging one battery in your hotel room, you may take the other two batteries with you when you go outdoors to...

Nikon EN-EL5 Lithium ion Battery for Digital Cameras

Strengths: Nikon brand, good battery life, small, can be replaced by a Duracell CP-1 if you're in a pinch.

Weakness: None.

Hey, what can I say! It's a battery, and rechargeable at that. This little baby is compact and provides good battery life for the Nikon 3700 camera. If you're in a pinch and can't charge then you can use a Duracell CP-1 as a replacement (although I'm not sure of the availability of the CP-1). I use this as a backup to the original battery than came with my Nikon 3700, and it is identical. There...

Nikon EN-EL5 Lithium ion Battery for Digital Cameras

Strengths: Nikon brand. Small size. Comes with contact protection. Fast charging takes about 2-hours for a full charge, faster than most. Long-lasting charge. Priced very reasonable for a lithium-ion battery.

Weakness: NONE noticed.

Exact fit for CoolPix 3700. For the very competitive price, I recommend going with this official Nikon brand. Always pays to have a spare. Small size should fit most camera cases. Don't miss that important "photo opportunity" by being caught without back-up power!

Nikon EN-EL5 Lithium ion Battery for Digital Cameras

Strengths: ROBUST CONSTRUCTION. PROVEN NIKON QUALITY.

Weakness: None

I shyed away from less expensive noname replacement batteries opting for Nikon quality and I'm glad that I did. Actually, I use the battery as a backup to the one that came with my Coolplex 5200. I urge anyone who travels with a digital camera to invest in a spare battery and keep it fully charged and in the same bag as their Camera. Batteries can exhaust themselves at the most critical times....

Nikon EN-EL5 Lithium ion Battery for Digital Cameras

Strengths: good encapsulation; good quality; small and light

Weakness: a little expensive

Before I bought this battery, I have owned Delkin EN-EL5 battery for my camera Nikon Coolpix 5200. But I'd like to buy another one for the case all of batteries I own run out. And I will not be worried that I will use up all the batteries when I am in the journey. This time, I chose the Nikon-branded which was a little more expensive. When I received the battery, I felt that its encapsulation was...
