This is the new battery for the D5000 but it is also usable on the D40, which I have. All you have to do is upgrade your camera firmware and the battery works to its fullest potential, which adds about 10% capacity versus the old D40 battery, the EN-EL9. I made the mistake of buying a generic brand as a backup battery for my D40 before - don't do it. You may get lucky and get one that works well, but they're cheap, and often made poorly; if they fail, they can pose a safety hazard. If you have a nice DSLR just get the Nikon battery, and know that the very best hardware is being used, and not some piece of junk. Excellent battery, just as one would expect from Nikon.

I had tested the battery before the function but at the very moment my camera froze with a message that the battery is not a recognized version (different wording but same meaning)and I ended losing a lot of good pictures. I bought two for my battery pack and now realize its a problem with the battery..

Exactly what I asked for, easy to order.
A fine alternative to the battery pack.
Long hikes 1 battery would be good, but I'll happily go through 2.

Comments about Nikon EN-EL9a Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Battery:
Great having a reliable battery back-up just in case you need it. Nikon batteries last a long time, I've had the original that came with the camera for over six and it's still running strong. The one I purchased is an exact replica of the original.

Comments about Nikon EN-EL9a Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Battery:
I have bought two no-name brand batteries as a backup battery for my D5000 and each lasted me about six months. My original Nikon battery is still going strong after 3 years. I finally broke down and spent the extra money to get another Nikon battery as my backup. I should have done that to begin with. Looking forward to years of use from this one!

Always good to have a backup. Usually the first battery last a whole day/night of shooting but there are times where you dont have time to recharge and the battery dies.

Comments about Nikon EN-EL9a Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Battery:
Good value--great battery (not a knock-off), holds a charge well. Bought it as a backup battery, but the next day, my other battery ran out in the middle of shooting. Had charged it up right away & put it in the camera bag, so I just switched them & kept shooting, which was critical in not missing any of the action. I recommend this as a primary or secondary battery.

Comments about Nikon EN-EL9a Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Battery:
I bought this battery to use as a backup for my Nikon D60. I was a little tentative getting this battery because the one that came with the D60 was a EN-EL9 which has a different voltage then the EN-EL9a. But, I did some research and found out that even though the EN-EL9a is not exactly the same it should still work so, I got it.
It uses the same charger as the EN-EL9 and it does work perfectly fine in my D60 :-)

Comments about Nikon EN-EL9a Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Battery:
I never had a spare battery until now and had to wait for the battery to recharge. The battery saves me from waiting on the battery to recharge. The battery only has one drawback. In most cases the battery is great but in some, if it would only last another few minutes I would be done.

Its exactly the one that I wanted. I initially bought it from [@] but when it came, it was obvious that it is a counterfeit product. Then I decided to buy it from B&H and it is the real genuine battery made by Nikon. Beware buying Nikon batteries from [@]!! Pay a few more dollars and buy it from B&H instead!!
