Pearstone Compact AC/DC Charger for EN-EL3E Battery
Budget-conscious and versatile, the Compact AC/DC Charger for EN-EL3E Battery from Pearstone is a prudent choice, providing you with 3 ways to charge out of the gate, and the ability to charge your USB devices as well! The fold-out AC plug provides normal in-wall charging for the US, and allows for easy travel and storage. The included cigarette lighter DC adapter provides in-vehicle charging, while the Euro plug adapter can be used for European wall sockets. Along with charging the Pearstone EN-EL3E, the Compact Charger is also compatible with the Nikon EN-EL3E.
As mentioned above, the Compact Charger goes beyond the call of duty, charging your USB devices as well. Just connect your device via its USB charging cable, and connect the Compact Charger to the wall or cigarette outlet in your vehicle. Additionally, the Compact Charger can also be used with the optional ADC-AC AC Adapter from Pearstone.

I "lost" my charger, right before I was headed out for a weekend in wine country. Now, I know that thing is somewhere in my apartment so I did not want to replace it with a full charger and battery from Nikon. the expense would be too high.
my biggest concerns was that it be quick, and small. my original set is cumbersome - includes a base and long ac charger cord. It's a pain. this is the exact opposite. small and lightweight.
a good price for a solid piece of equipment.

I packed the wrong battery charger and discovered my mistake after traveling 1100 miles to a destination where we would stay for 5 months. Nikon does not offer a charger for the EN-EL3E battery since the D80 is no longer produced. Pearstone manufactures quality products that I have purchased in the past. The size of the charger is convenient as is the option to charge it while travelling in a car. Inserting and removing the battery has been a challenge. The top plate came off when I tried to remove the battery. My husband managed to removed the battery for me. I had no choice since two batteries would not stay charged for 5 months.

Comments about Pearstone Compact Charger for EN-EL3E Battery:
I like the combination charger & plug that doesn't require a separate cord & plug. That makes one less thing to carry when you travel and reduces the number of batteries you need to carry. I probably won't use all of the cords since the plug in charger is sufficient.

Had to buy new charger to my old camera, since old one , was left somewhere during vacation voyage.
Charger is small, effective and w/ option to plug it to car lighter outlet. Definitely product which is crafter to do what is meant to do.

It is compact and easy to pack, without a long cord to plug into the wall. It also has the car charger for those "woops" moments where a last minute charge is needed.It includes the European adapter, which I have not used yet.

Comments about Pearstone Compact Charger for EN-EL3E Battery:
I bought this while on vacation because I forgot to pack mine. I heard good things about other Pearstone chargers, so I took the leap. I'm glad I did. This charger is compact, has good form and fit, and it comes with a car charger adapter. Also has aUSB charging port which I like.
Great charger.

Comments about Pearstone Compact Charger for EN-EL3E Battery:
Very compact, comes with a car plug and a European adapter, plus has a USB input to charge an additional accessory (like your cell phone). Also great is that you no longer need to drag that 5 foot cord around that normally comes with Nikon SLR chargers.

Tired of cables, just grab this charger, snap on the battery and plug it directly to the power outlet. This will make the difference in the space required in your backpack, sling or case.
