I purchased this unit as a backup in case the MH-18a that came with my D300 body dies, or if I very quickly need to charge all of my batteries.
I do not think my original charger will die, however, as this sucker is rugged.
It has been dropped, kicked, shoved unmercifully into bags of all types, the cord has been rolled over by my office chair several times. It has put up with sunlight, damp conditions, dry conditions, heck, it even survived my chihuahua's attentions. Yet, it keeps on working. Charging batteries left and right without a single complaint escaping its lips.
It is my understanding that according to some belief systems, if you were to be reincarnated in the form of an MH-18a, it means you led a good and virtuous life in the past.

There is a real fire hazard with Lithium-Ion batteries. Using off-brand batteries and/or chargers is risky and simply dumb. But Nikon could improve utility by adapting these chargers to DC - no AC outlet in my 'ugly truck' - and improving charge times. Second the comment below about a double charger for EN-EL3 batteries. And how about putting those monster C7 power cords on a diet, Nikon?

Comments about MH-18a Quick Charger for Nikon EN-EL3 Series Rechargeable Batteries:
This charger is very durable. The power cord is very heavy gauge, and the batteries slide and snap into the charger/holder with ease.
Now that I own two of them, I no longer have to wait for the first battery to finish charging in order to reuse the charger for recharging my other battery.

Comments about MH-18a Quick Charger for Nikon EN-EL3 Series Rechargeable Batteries:
This charger works great. I just picked it up for a used DLSR Nikon D70. It only took a few hours to bring the battery back to life, and I was able to continue using my camera. The cord can be detached from the base for easier storage, and it keeps it from putting unnecessary stress on the connection which can lead to the cord breaking down. Plus, it was a great price for a reliable product.

Comments about MH-18a Quick Charger for Nikon EN-EL3 Series Rechargeable Batteries:
This is exactly like the one I received when I purchased my camera(I lost it or at least have not found it yet). I like to stick with original equipment when possible(Think resale).[...] I have 2 batteries(EN-EL3) and this charger charges quickly(about an hour for full charge) while the other is in the camera making me money! Thanks Nikon and BH. Stick with a store you can trust!
