Glad to have a backup battery!

Glad to finally have a backup battery! Didn't know if they'd be in stock any time soon, but it was worth the wait. Very useful to have a spare while on the go instead of having to pack the charger and cable.
Decent recharge time and the charge lasts long enough to get me through my travels.
The only Con I think of think of (other than the price tag) is that it doesn't come in case but with a simple slip-on (or accidentally fall-off) cap. Expected this since that's how Nikon's slim batteries have been lately... but I like the ones that my 8800 take since they come with a clip-close case.

It's just a battery. I used it on a recent trip to Egypt. It worked fine. I hope it keeps working for a long time. Too soon to tell. Can't give it 5 stars because I don't know longevity.
It's use,however, has not noticably improved my photography.

Comments about Nikon EN-EL12 Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Battery (3.7V, 1050mAh):
I recently took a four day bike ride in Cajun country and carried my Nikon S9300 with this battery in it. I took numerous pictures of the scenery as well as extended videos of good zydeco and Cajun bands and the resultant dancing. The battery handled the load well. I carried a spare battery each day but didn't have to use it. I purchased an aftermarket battery of the same type to use with a previous camera but the OEM lasts longer.

Comments about Nikon EN-EL12 Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Battery (3.7V, 1050mAh):
I now have two of these batteries. I thought that by purchasing a Nikon battery that it would have a longer battery life. Not so! Unless there is something wrong with BOTH batteries, which are both new, I can only get about 100 pictures per battery. This leaves me stranded. It almost makes more sense to buy a THIRD battery unit. Ugh... digital cameras use a lot of power. I use this in NEW my Nikon Coolpix S6300.

Comments about Nikon EN-EL12 Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Battery (3.7V, 1050mAh):
Bought the item to have a second battery as a spare. Glad I bought this one, the proper battery, being that it is a Nikon battery, and not some poor imitation. Price is the best I have found.
I have a brand new camera, and I don't want to risk placing a $4 battery in it, only to have it leak and void the warranty.
