Lithium-ion batteries last longer than AA batteries, but you will still need this accessory for recharging. I'd suggest buying at least one other battery to alternate. It will take 1.5-2 hours to recharge one battery fully. You can also buy an adapter for travel overseas. You don't want to be stuck in paradise without enough batteries and Lithium-ion batteries are not readily available everywhere. This recharger is less expensive than most.

This is a more convenient way to charge a Nikon camera battery than lugging around a cable to plug into the camera. Strangely, though, it doesn't include an integrated or foldable AC plug -- you still need a power cable.

I bought this because I needed a wall charger instead of the computer charger that came with my Nikon P100 camera. I expected (from the picture) that it had the flip out plug and would be very compact like others I have. But Nikon has chosen to use a detachable power cord instead, so you also have to lug around the wa-a-a-a-y long power cord with the charger. We travel alot, and space and weight are big considerations, so this was very disappointing to me. It would have, at least, been nice to know that this was the case when I ordered it, but none of the pictures or descriptions said anything about it having the separate power cord.

The upside is that it does work.

Don't understand why Nikon produced a charger that requires a long power cord be attached
to the charger. I purchased the charger thinking it had a folding a/c plug. The photos did not
show a power cord...only the charger pod itself. I have a Sony camera and it has a charger that
has the folding a/c plug. Can't understand why such simplicity wasn't duplicated by Nikon. But
the point being, advertising should have either shown or explained how the charger was designed.
I'm only disappointed with the design...not the charger..it works fine.

I enjoy a charger separate from the camera. This one works exactly as advertised. It is a good idea to have at least one spare battery to take full advantage of the charger. One battery can be charging while the other is in use.

This is the charger that should have shipped with the P-6000. It truly is a better way of charging over the in camera charging.

Arrived super fast and in perfect condition!! Works great charging the battery for my Nikon Coolpix P500 camera. Having to plug in the camera to charge the battery takes around 4 hours and using this only takes around 1 hour!!! Love this product!!

I was surprised to open the box to this charge and find that it came with a very, very heavy cord. Am traveling to Africa on Safari and weight is a big restriction. Seems like Nikon could save money by just making this charger with the collapsible plug on back. Would have been nice if pictures of item had shown the cord, also.

Bought this (and a spare battery) to charge the battery for my Nikon P-100 without having it in the camera an it works great.

Good charger, but it already comes with the Nikon P90, so now I have two.
