Product Description

The Nikon MH-19 Multi Battery AC/DC Charger can sequentially charge up to two Nikon EN-EL3, EN-EL3a and EN-EL3e lithium-ion batteries. A 12-Volt cable is included for connection to a cigarette-lighter socket. The MH-19 supports voltages from 100-240 Volts which makes it compatible with charging overseas with the appropriate optional plug adapters. It is also capable of charging the Nikon EN-3, EN-4 and MN-15 (requires optional MC-E2 charging cord), as well as the MN-30 (requires optional MC-E1 charging cord) batteries. Ideal for photographers on the go. The Nikon MH-19 helps power the Nikon F5, F100, D1, D1H, D1X, D50, D70, D70s, D100, D200 and D80 SLR cameras. >>> The Two (2) Nikon EN-EL3e Rechargeable Li-ion Batteries are Genuine Nikon Brand Battery Packs -- the very best that money can buy for your camera and two spares are better than one. With constant shooting, flash usage, image review and playback, your standard battery alone will not usually be sufficient. In addition, a battery loses power in cold weather, and can become too cold to operate the camera. Keeping a spare battery warm in your pocket to maximize battery power and periodically switching the cold battery for the warm one can significantly enhance battery performance. >>> The Nikon EN-EL3e Li-ion Batteries are memory-free and can be charged at any time without harm, even if they already have a partial charge and they can typically be charged over 1000 times.

3.0 out of 5 stars beware: dual charging is sequential..., December 23, 2007

The dual charger charges two batteries SERIALLY, one after the other. It's OK if you plan on recharging two batteries overnight, but won't work if you're planning on recharging two batteries in parallel before an event.

This is an excellent charger, and seems to charge my D200 batteries a little faster than the charger that came with the camera. However, the MH-19 charges the batteries one at a time, not simultaneously. Just something to be aware of.

Although it is true that the charger only charges one battery at a time, it does have something the standard charges does not - an indicator that lets you know when you are 80% charged. It is always best to have spare batteries, and to charge them once a month whether or not you've used them, just for increased lifespan. Have this set near my photo "corner" in the basement allows me to cycle through all of my batteries, and have 4 of them charged at all times (I bought 2 of these units). So it only charges one at a time... if you've let BOTH batteries expire, then perhaps you need 4. :) I like it, and would recommend it to anyone needing to have 2 or more batteries available to them at all times.
