I've been using Power 2000 batteries for my Nikon D80 for over 2 years now. The first battery that I have after 2 years of constant use has slowly decreased it's max charge capacity by 2 bars. This new battery works really well and has a higher capacity compared to the Nikon EN-EL3E. After charging the battery for a couple of hours, it worked well and last all day with just one charge. Cells are made in Japan but the entire assembly is made in China. I highly recommend this battery for its performance and value.
16 Dec 09: I just purchased a Nikon D700 and these batteries work flawlessly. They still hold the charge a lot longer than the Nikon battery. They work on my battery grip too! Enjoy your Nikons!

These Power 2000 batteries have shown me very poor performance. A single "real" Nikon branded EL3e outlasts TWO of these Power 2000's in my D90 grip by many times over. Further, the Power 2000's will not hold a charge in my case, not installed in the camera at all, for just a very few days. So, they are never ready to shoot when I am. Yes, they are cheap. Yes, there is a reason they are cheap. If you want a reliable battery to take on an important shoot, this is not it.

Don't waste you money on this. Bought this battery as a spare for a D300. Fully charged from the charger and showing 100% in the camera, the battery lasted about 30 images before running out. No flash or other process draining the battery. The original Nikon battery lasts hundreds and hundreds of shots.

I purchased a Power 2000 EN-EL3e replacement with my D90 (which came with a Nikon EN-EL3as well). For the first year the Power 2000 worked well, holding about as much charge as the Nikon battery, but now after only a year the Nikon battery is still going strong, while the Power 2000 serves mostly as a paper weight as it won't charge any longer. I tried various things, charging it repeatedly, discharging it completely, etc. All to no avail. The thing is dead and on its way to the recycling yard.
The worst thing, in my opinion, it died pretty much without warning. No big deal here in CT, but potentially a major headache on a photo trip far away from an electrical outlet or camera store.

This battery did not hold a charge. I had to send it back. They told me I ordered the wrong battery for my D300 Nikon camera but I double checked an this was the correct battery. Maybe I just got a bad one. But mine did not work.

Works great, holds a charge well. I'd definitely buy one of these again. Way less money and works as well as the D200 OEM battery.

I bought this battery as a spare for my Nikon D80. After charging, it did not power my camera at all. Waste of money.

Works just as you'd expect. It just doesn't have the Nikon brand name on it.
