You would better served if you pick up two of these so one can be chargeing while the other is in use. Lots of power packed into a tiny unit. Save the landfills and use a rechargable.

Also this product can save you lots of money, as the standard battery is about $12 to replace.

This is the battery for Nikon Coolpix 775, 880 and 995Dec 09, 2001

You can take a lot of pictures (100+) with the charge on one of these batteries, but its hard to know when your going to run out. Having a second seems a must.

I don' know about the other cameras that use this battery, but the 775 comes with an external charger that charges a battery in less than 2 hours. It also has an interal battery that keeps track of the date & time and is automatically recharged from the fresh EN_EL1 battery. (Some camera settings are lost when you remove the EN_EL1 battery).

Very GoodAug 18, 2004
By P. Yamagata "1000 Peaks"
I own six of these batteries, and they have all worked fine. I typically go on road trips with some mountain climbing, and I will shoot hundreds of images a day. Generally, I go through about two batteries a day, at this rate. I often camp, so am unable to get to a power source, then have to get a motel room sometimes every other day.

Using my EH-21, I can recharge as many as five batteries a night--they usually take some 1.5 hours to fully recharge. It's so convenient to have the recharge light so I know when the charge is completed.

I hope to upgrade to a higher MP Coolpix, soon, and the added recharger that now comes along with the camera should make for faster recharging, then able to use two at a time.

You do need to keep these babies warm during the night camping, and take them out of the camera while you're not using them during cool or cold nights.

I have to replace a exhausted battery quickly for my Coolpix 880, since if I wait too long, I must reset the camera settings, including the time and date. My Coolpix 2000 does not have this problem.

It's good to have a few batteries since they take up little room in my camera pack, and beginners might be distressed to find with only one or two batteries, you can run out of juice after only a few hundred shots. I do use my LCD display heavily, and am often turning the camera on and off.

Cheers for Nikon that they do not fail to support this product by changing to new types of batteries for their newer models. I plan to get either a 5400 or 8700, later, since they use the same battery type.

These EN-EL 1 batteries last much longer than a set of AA batteries. They have lasted me some hundreds of recharges so far, and I have not had to throw away any of my batteries, going back to 2001.

An absolute must for the 995Mar 04, 2002
By Indra Sunrise Geerts
I have the Nikon 995, and possibly the only problem I have with it is that it won't show you how much battery life you have left. It shows full, half, and empty, which really doesn't tell you very much. So, I wind up spending a lot of time stressing over whether a "half charged" battery was 30% full, and going to run out, or 80% full, and going to last the whole shoot.
Save yourself the worry, buy a second one.
This battery is a quick recharge (about two hours) and a long life. With the Nikon 995, you should have 110 minutes of use with the LCD, or days of use without it. I kid you not, the battery is good for days of continuous use if you operate without the monitor.
Buy a spare battery, keep one charging at all times. Never worry about batteries again.
Be well,
Indra

battery life span is 3 years!Jul 21, 2004
By Hao Zhang
The battery is quick to charge and lasts days for the 995 I'm using. One draw back though: if you are the kind of amateur like me who takes tons of photos on one trip and forget the camera for half a year, then remember to take the battery out before you store it away! Otherwise as fore-warned in the brochure you'll see you battery aging much faster than it should be. This fact is buried in the camera manual and the battery doesn't come with any manual at all!
