Having an older Nikon camera needing a battery, I didn't want to spend more for the battery than the camera was worth! The camera was still working fine, so it would have been a shame just to trash it.These bargain batteries were the solution. They charge up normally and fit my camera just fine. I can keep one charged up for a spare. I have yet to see what the longevity of the batteries will be, but at this price one can afford to replace them occasionally.Despite a rather dismal shipping estimate of a month, they nevertheless arrived quickly, in about 10 days.

My Nikon factory batteries finally got to the point where they won't hold any charge, and I needed to replace them. I had read past reviews about these batteries being tight in the nikon chargers, but at such a low price for two I decided to try it anyway. I put a battery into the charger right away and it was very snug, but I could still pull it back off by hand. After a few hours on the charger, the light indicated it was fully charged and I tried to remove it from the charger. Getting it out by hand was impossible. The battery was warm after charging (the nikon batteries also got warm, so I assume this is normal) and they had apparently expanded from heat. I was impatient and wanted to use my camera right away, so I used a smooth butter knife to gently wedge it off the charger. This worked fine and did not damage the charger or the battery. I suspect it would come out by hand if I had allowed it to cool down, but I have never tried that. Since then I have charged both batteries a couple times and I always remove them with the butter knife. So far, I have not had any problems with this method of removal, and due to my lack of patience I plan to continue the practice. Aside from the size issue, The batteries are great. They fit fine in the camera and they hold a charge through hundreds of pictures. In fact, I have never run the batteries completely dead even though I know this is better for extending overall battery life. When I take pics for an event I get too paranoid that my camera will go dead at an important moment, so I change the battery out once it drops down to 2 of 5 power bars on the screen indicator. I will definitely order these batteries again and I would recommend that others buy them as long as they are comfortable knowing they may be very tight on the charger.

If I had known it would take 38 days to receive these batteries, I probably would have gone elsewhere, but as it turns out, it was worth the wait. I received two batteries that were fully charged and functional, so we know the batteries will hold a charge for more than 38 days. The batteries fit the standard Nikon charger without any problems with tightness, as were described by earlier customers. The batteries are labeled 1100 mah. If the batteries fail prematurely I'll be sure to update this review, but for now they are 5 star.

Did not last at all, very frustrated with how long they lasted even with charging.

Capacity is much lower than claimed. 788 mAh @ 2 h. rate, and 786 mAh @ 10 h. rate. While this is very low compared to the claimed 1100 mAh capacity, it is not unexpected for these Chinese cells. It would be nice to get cells that deliver the rated capacity, but I guess this is not likely. For this reason,The fact that the higher 2 h. rate did not significantly impact performance is a good sign the the cells have reasonably good materials and construction.I would not give these batteries a low rating, but in recommending them to someone else, I would make sure to tell them not to expect superior performance.

The manufacturer must have made chances to their mold, because unlike some who have purchased these batteries, I have no problem removing them from the charger. These are a perfect fit both in and out of the charger and camera, and best of all, they hold their charge! I've used the camera daily, approximately 10-12 pictures each day, for the past few weeks and have yet to be required to re-charge the first battery. I would definitely recommend these to anyone needing to replace their old Nikon EN-EL1 battery pack.

I needed spare batteries, and these do the job!

Camera works great. No problem
