5.0 out of 5 stars Nice but there is a cheaper way, January 22, 2005

this battery is awsome charges in 2 hours or less and is actualy good for 150 pics or more as promised. You can get one of the knockoff batteries from a sell here on amazon for $6.88 that as far as I can tell works just as good. I have one of each but only for a few days now and each as been through a full charge and drain and I noticed no difference between them.

If you go to remote places, you need to have at least one extra battery for your camera. At this price (used), I'd even buy three. Even though this is rechargable and lasts longer than AA Batteries, you will lose a lot of battery charge when transferring images to another source (computer) or viewing them on the LCD. You might figure 125-150 picutres on one battery, but the video will use even more.

Bought this as a backup battery for my Nikon Coolpix 7900. What else can I say, other than it's identical to the one that came with the camera, and at this point I'm not sure which is which.

Are there cheaper replacements out there? Yes. Was I going to risk my $350 camera to save $10 on a generic brand battery that might burn up? Nope. Peace of mind is worth a few extra bucks, but the extra cost brings it down to 4 stars.
