Nikon shines. Chargers worked as expected from calibration to charging. Thanks Nikon.

Does it all, and more.

Yes, it is expensive. But we all know that ahead of time before we order. There are less expensive ones on the market, but no better. One of the nicest features of this charger is that it knows when your battery needs calibration, the light above the calibration green button lights up, you just push calibration button and the charger takes care of the rest. Second, I like the fact that you can see how much time is left until a full charge and what percentage it is at at any time during the charge cycle. Third, if your charging two batteries, it will charge one, then the other, in case you've got to get a shot, you don't have to wait,grab the fully charged battery while the other one is charging. Forth, the Kit comes with a cord, bay covers, everything you need, and an adapter for the EN-EL4 and EN-EL4a batteries for my Nikon D3s. Very nice Nikon. Now I can use the same charger for both camera's.

Overpriced, not universal

Ridiculously overpriced from Nikon, this charger is required for EN-EL18 batteries and will charge EN-EL4 with the included adapter but will not charge the EN-EL15? Really? D!ck move Nikon

I have several battery chargers—including one that charges the battery for my car! And for the life of me, I cant figure out why Nikon is charging this ridiculous price for their battery charger.   It works, though, and does its job.  No different than any other charger.

Overpriced and underused

While this unit “from” Nikon does what it is supposed to do it is three times overpriced and limited in its what batteries it can recharge and recalibrate. As a D850 owner it would be really nice if there was an adapter that would allow those functions to be performed with the basic D850 battery as well as the other batteries that this unit was designed for. If I want to have and use the  MB-D18 at maximum capability and maintain the warranty I have to purchase this overpriced unit which will not recharge the D850 battery. Come on Nikon, at least give us an adapter that will charge the basic D850 battery and include it with this unit.

Perfect replacement charger for EnEL-18 type batteries

It works just like the original that comes with the Nikon D5.  It has the quirk that it does not appear to ship (at least from B&H) with a U.S. plug, but a European one, so you will need an adapter (B&H supplied me one for free).

Awesome!

It works....for now....but so did the original MH-26 that came with my D4s. It's hard to believe that something without moving parts can go bad unless it was physically abused. Nikon should replace these for free...

Will this charge EN-EL-15a batteries?

Will this charge EN-EL-15a batteries?
Asked by: Richard
No. This unit charges the enel18 series as found in the D5 and 4, and with the adapter, the enel4 series from the D3 cameras.

question

Can anyone suggest an aftermarket option?
Asked by: Vladimir
Unfortunately there is no aftermarket charger if you need to charge N-EL18 and EN-EL18a batteries. However, if you have EN-EL4 & EN-EL4a batteries, you can get the more affordable Nikon MH-21 Quick Charger for Nikon EN-EL4 & EN-EL4a Battery B&H # NIMH21 or Nikon MH-22 Quick Charger for Nikon EN-EL4 & EN-EL4a Batteries B&H # NIMH22.

question

Does Nikon or anybody else make a adapter plate so I can charge the EN-EL18a battery with my MH-22 charger?
Asked by: Charles L.
Sorry, there is no adapter for the MH-22. The MH-22 is not forward compatible whereas the Nikon MH-26aAK Adapter Kit B&H # NIMH26AA is backwards compatible. In other words, while the MH-22 can only charge the EN-EL4 & EN-EL4a batteries, the MH-26aAK Adapter Kit can charge the EN-EL18 and EN-EL18a batteries as well as the EN-EL4 & EN-EL4a's with the included BT-A10 Adapter. Sorry about the back order; hopefully soon. I suggest signing up for a stock alert.

question

Is there a grip available for the Nikon D4s?
Asked by: Anonymous
The D4S is a Nikon "Pro Body" camera. It is in the small group of the largest DSLR cameras available and the grip is part of the magnesium frame work. It isn't removable and of course, no additional grip can be added or for that matter would need to be. BTW; this question has nothing to do with the battery charger...
