This review is from: Opteka EN-EL3E 2000mAh Ultra High Capacity Li-ion Battery Pack for Nikon D700, D300, D200, D100, D90, D80, D70, D70s, & D50 Digital SLR Camera (Electronics)

I wasn't too sure about this particular brand battery since there were no reviews for it, but I decided to give them a try and see what I ended up with. First they look and feel (weight wise) exactly the same as the Nikon batteries. The only difference is the labeling. Even the color is exactly the same. I have shot a large number of pictures with my D200 since and have seen virtually the same performance out of these as my Nikon batteries, maybe even a little longer lasting if you want to be nit picky. Maybe they wont last as long, but time will tell. Just remember with lith ion batteries re-charging is best done early and often. If you do that your batteries will last you a good long time. I can't vouch for other Nikon camera models, but these DO work in the D200. I hope this helps out some of you out there wanting to save a little money on your batteries like me. Good luck and keep shooting!!!

1.0 out of 5 stars Didn't work with my D90 and didn't look like the advertised battery, November 25, 2009

This review is from: Opteka EN-EL3E 2000mAh Ultra High Capacity Li-ion Battery Pack for Nikon D700, D300, D200, D100, D90, D80, D70, D70s, & D50 Digital SLR Camera (Electronics)

Like several other folks that purchased this battery for their D90, it didn't work for me either. I am guessing that it is either the camera firmware that is preventing it from being recognized, or the battery is somehow different than advertised. The actual color of my arriving battery was plain grey, not gold like show in the product picture via Amazon. Also please note that these non-Nikon batteries don't have the little golden microchip that communicates with the Nikon camera on battery information. Perhaps that is why it doesn't work on mine???? I am returning for a refund and sticking with Nikon branded batteries from now on.

This battery has been performing well. I use it in my D90 battery grip and notice no difference when put side by side with the Nikon Battery.

Follow-up.
I have been using this battery for almost a year and it is still performing as well as the Nikon. No issues with splitting which can happen with cheap aftermarket power cells. I use this side by side in a battery grip so it is easy to judge the performance of the battery against the Nikon. For less than $20.00 it is still a good battery.
