This is a replacement for my Nikon Coolpix camera, as I like to travel with one or two extra charged batteries so as not to miss a shot. Not only is it the perfect battery for my camera, but is the only one which fits it. Even the camera store which originally sold me the camera tried to sell me a compatible, only for me to find out that it was slightly bigger than the Nikon brand. It would not come out of the camera and had to be taken back to the store for a repairman to safely pry it out. Recently, after misplacing my back-up Nikon battery, the only battery I could find locally was a generic one. This one also was slightly bigger than the Nikon and lodged in the camera. What a relief to find an online source for the Nikon battery that is not only the right battery, but also cheaper than the compatible brands! It easily pops in (and out!!!) of my camera.

Fine So Far
So far so good. I suppose the test of a battery is really the test of time.

Comments about Nikon EN-EL5 Lithium-Ion Battery (3.7v 1100mAh):
I am so glad I bought this battery. It lasts longer than the one that came with my camera. So now I can get through the day with just 1 battery. One less thing to have to think about. No complaints at all. I am very happy. Thank you.

Comments about Nikon EN-EL5 Lithium-Ion Battery (3.7v 1100mAh):
It's always important to have spare camera batteries, especially when you're out for a long day of taking pictures when traveling. I always carry at least two extra batteries in my camera bag.
I find the Nikon batteries more dependable and reliable than their cheaper imitators.

Ordered this as a spare because the batteries don't last long on my wife's Nikon. This is an exact replacement and works well. Now she can take twice as many pictures.

Comments about Nikon EN-EL5 Lithium-Ion Battery (3.7v 1100mAh):
I bought this for my Nikon p510 so I would have a battery to switch the original with. It is the exact same as the original battery that came with the camera. PERFECT. A must have for any Nikon user! I am also from Canada and this company was excellent with international shipping! Would recommend to all and would buy from this site again!

Comments about Nikon EN-EL5 Lithium-Ion Battery (3.7v 1100mAh):
Having recently purchased a Nikon P510 in preparation for a trip I knew I would need more than one battery. This one is the factory battery so no concerns about voiding the camera warranty which was critical.

Comments about Nikon EN-EL5 Lithium-Ion Battery (3.7v 1100mAh):
Nikon batteries cost a little more than after-market batteries, but are well worth the additional cost.
I purchased an after-market battery when I bought my P5000 a few years ago. After a couple of years, the battery swelled enough where it did not easily slide in and out of the battery compartment of the camera.
This has never happened with any of my Nikon batteries. Nikon battery life has not deteriorated significantly over the years. I will only reccommend Nikon batteries for use in Nikon cameras.

Comments about Nikon EN-EL5 Lithium-Ion Battery (3.7v 1100mAh):
At first I purchased a "Nikon" EN-EL5 battery from a cheaper retailer. They shipped a 'Nikon EN-EL5 replacement" battery which was a piece of junk. It would not hold a charge for more than 48 hours.
Advice - Order from a reputable dealer. The batteries from B&H have always been the correct and true Nikon batteries that I trust. These batteries last years!
