EN-EL19 Rechargeable Battery

Ma première batterie est encore bonne après près de onze ans. La nouvelle n'est pas encore chargée, donc j'ignore comment elle sera.

Doesnt seem to last very long. first one lasted two years, Secod only one year.

This battery died less than 1 year old. I am a hobby photographer and only use this camera occasionally.

I have a Coolpix S6500. The battery is dead. Went to CA for Christmas. No pictures! Seriously? I couldn´t get it to take a charge. Even borrowed my daughter´s charger just for a Nikon battery thinking I must be doing something wrong. I wasn´t. So it seems I need to buy a new battery. I am so unhappy about that. I always thought this camera took great pictures...but now, it´s not taking any, so it doesn´t matter what they could look like.

How can I send pictures when I can´t take pictures?

I hadn´t had my camera long when the battery died. I tried recharging it several times but it wouldn´t even recharge! Then I found out it cost $40 for another battery! I don´t want to pay $40 for a battery that doesn´t last and then won´t recharge! The biggest disappointment is finding out that Nikon won´t even stand behind their product and warrant the battery! I will never purchase from them again. Sadness.

My first coolpix suddenly stopped working. ´Loading battery (in the camera) didn´t solve the problem.
Because of the price of a new battery in relation to the price of a new camera, i threw away the old camera and bought a new camera.
Again a coolpix, because i love it´s simplicity in relation to the quality of the ´´pictures´´.
However, last week my second coolpix ´´died´´. Same problem!!
Looking for a solution, this link caught my eye:

I haven´t tried the update yet,but if this is the solution:
- should i be glad? I probably threw away a perfect camera!!

I was just given this camera with the battery six weeks ago for my birthday. I have not used it very much - but already the battery is completely dead and will not recharge. I would not recommend this type of battery to anyone.

My son and I and unable to recharge the batteries in our 2 cameras that are only 3 years old! Very frustrating. Do we spend $80 to buy new batteries or do we just buy a new camera? Nikon should replace the batteries free of charge or rename their product as ´´not´´ rechargeable.

I received this battery in my 2012 Christmas present - a Coolpix S4200. I love the camera but this battery is a huge loser. It started being unreliable in April 2013 and by May 2013, would not re-charge. I do not take a lot of pcitures - this battery was used at Christmas, New Years and a couple of birthday celebrations - NOT heavily used at all. A rechargeable battery should last YEARS....not under 6 months. Really a disappointment. I expect better from Nikon.
