EN-EL3e Rechargeable Li-ion Battery

MY BATTERY WILL NOT CHARGE. I HAVE HAD THIS SINCE ONE YEAR. MAY HAVE BEED ´´old lot BATTERY ´´ IN THE D-90 PACKAGE. IT JUST HAPPENED - WITH NO INDICATIONS.
REVIEW SAYS :would u recommed this product ?..... WHAT TO SAY--- yeS ... tHERE IS NO CHOICE.
USING BATTERY OTHER THAN ´´NIKON´ MAY VOID THE WARRANTY.....

My name is John i have always been interested in photography.I have had other brands but once i bought a nikon i have had no bad issues with them excellent quality and well made lenses.

This is my Nikon D300 and my two EN-EL3e battery...

I have three batteries that I cycle through my D80. At the end of each day, I take one out of the charger and put the used one in. Truth be told, I probably only need two batteries.

My oldest battery is five years old and still holds a charge like it is new. My camera says all three batteries are acting like 100% new.

I get about 700 shots per charge (I don´t use the flash much).

One minor complaint -- the camera could be designed to make it even easier to figure out how to put the battery in. But this is a small point and the designers perhaps have done as much as they could.

The charger blinks when it is charging, steady when fully charged. If it were me, I´d have a yellow light and a green light instead. A shorter cord on the charger would make it easier to haul around.

I wish the new Nikon´s took the same battery. I don´t see the need to change the design.

I own the d300s and this battery performs great on it l recently took over 2000 12 bit RAW photos and about 30 mins of 720p video and the battery still had 10% left so overall i cant complain in any way also gonna get another one for the MB D10 i just got today!!

This is the first rechargeable battery that I´ve liked. They last a very long time, charge well and I can use these in my D90 and future D300s and D700. I hate having to carry different batteries for everything, these make things easier.
