An apparently excellent product for a very reasonable price. I have only had these batteries through one charge-recharge cycle but they seem no different than the OEM battery in holding a charge. They are a larger amp-hour capacity than the OEM battery and are a few millivolts less than the OEM battery which doesn't seem to matter to my D 300 camera. The product arrived quickly after ordering. Yes, you really get 2-for-the-price-of-1 with this company!! Look up the manufacturer on the internet and you will see that it is a Korean company making industrial components so I expected them to be good. Hopefully this pans out in the long run.

Update Dec 2010 - one of the battery packs died. It will not charge. Overall they worked fine and are still cost effective, but not of the same quality as the OEM Nikon pack. These work well as backups though, which is what I needed if the original battery became depleted during a shoot.

These batteries are brand new and the charge only lasts a few frames (like 10 or 12) on my camera. The charge is depleted if my camera sits idle for a short time, as well. Next time I will buy the more expensive name-brand batteries.

nice price...but don't hold a charge to the OE Nikon batteries....after 16 shots 50% gone....maybe better after a few charges...I hope

This battery is much less expensive than the Nikon equivalent and works equally well. I have the Nikon but plan on buying the Nextop equivalent in the future. Battery life is an issue that will be revealed in time, but given the significant price differential, there would have to be a great disparity in battery life to take me back to the Nikon.

These batteries were advertised as "Nikon EN-EL3e" when they actually are "For Nikon" cameras. Would not have bought them if I thought they were not Nikon made.
