(More customer reviews)Having recntly purchased a Nikon P100 camera that uses a EN-EL5 battery, I wanted to purchase an additional battery to take on an upcoming trip to Russia. I was also looking for a quick charger to use in place of the method that Nikon provides on this camera (plug in a power supply into the camera to charge the battery in place). This package seemed too good to be true! It offered a spare battery, a rapid charger, a 12 volt adapter for the charger, and an adapter to use the rapid charger in Europe/Russia. Several reviews made comments about the battery not fitting and that the battery was smaller in rating than a Nikon. Still, for the price,it was hard to pass up.
Well, after receiving the battery, charger, adapters, and then using the charger to charge the battery, I proceeded to check out the new battery in my Nikon P100 with the following results:
First, the Nikon battery is rated at 3.7Volts and 1100 mAh - the replacement battery is rated at 3.7 Volts and 1300 mAh (that is a larger battery than the original battery!).
The original Nikon Battery was charged in place according to instructions and lasted for 350 pictures (mix of telephoto shots and close-up shots). The replacement battery lasted for 400 pictures of the same type of mix.
The replacement battery fits with no size issues in the Nikon P100 - by virtue of fit, you could not tell the difference between the batteries.
Second, the charger does feel like cheap plastic, but it works as advertised, does have an AC plug that retracts into itself, and does have LED indicators for charging (red) and charged (green).
The adapter for Europe/Russia is exactly the same one sold at our local luggage supply store for more than the entire cost of the battery kit!
The 12 volt adapter is short coil cord unit (stretches to about 3 feet) with a power indicator light (red led) on it. It works just fine, but is not very long (would work with most cars if you are careful).
Finally, the battery that was included in the package also comes with a terminl protector to prevent accidental discharge! This cap fits easily on the battery and ensures you do not wind up with a hot pocket if you are carrying change and your spare battery in the same pocket!
All in all, I highly recommend this combination for the Nikon P100.
