I had this battery for only 4 months and in that time I was only able to use it once before it refused to recharge. I tried several times to calibrate it and recharge, but it wouldn't work. Amazon is taking it back for a full refund, good on them. I would not buy this battery! I don't know about any other after market batteries as I plan to stick with Nikon only after this.

I have used the Delkins before- I am pro a photographer. The last time I bought one it was bad and to their credit delkin did replace it. This one won't hold a charge, I 'll need to replace it , deal with a return etc. Not worth the brain damage. Too bad the nikons are so expensive but you get what you pay for. Possible I received a counterfeit. I have been using the EN-EL 4 for over 5 years so I think I know what am talking about.

Would not recommend. Received one with D2X purchased in 2009. Bought 2 new from Amazon merchant in April 2010. The one that came with the D2X failed to charge in about 9 months. Of the 2 new batteries, charged initial charge without a problem on Nikon MH-21 charger when received. Performed fine in camera and took out to recharge when depleted. Would not charge again on the Nikon MH-21 charger. Purchased after market charger just in case it may have been due to Nikon charger circutry check for Nikon chip in battery. Still would not charge on after market charger either. Would recommend paying the additional money for Nikon OEM battery instead to avoid this problem.

Additional info: Delkin brand battery was not recognized on the D300 add on grip MBD10. Found this out when I bought the two new for use in the grip.

I bought one of these at the same time I got my new Nikon D2X about a month before I left on a trip. I'm really glad I brought my charger, as I only got one use out of the battery. It didn't last anywhere near as long as the original Nikon battery that was purchased at the same time. Avoid making my mistake, spend the extra $$ to get the real thing. This version isn't worth it, even if they were offering it for 1/10 the price of the Nikon version.
