Digital camera reviews of Nikon EN-EL4a Rechargeable Li-Ion Battery for MB-D10 Battery Pack and Nikon D2 and D3 Digital SLR Cameras (Retail Packaging)
Digital camera Review: Great battery life - especially if you use GPS
Summary: 5 Stars
I use these in both my D3 and D300 with the MB-D10 grip and as others have posted, it gives great performance in both.
The grip plus an EN-EL4a has become much more important since I've started using the Nikon GPS attachment on my D300. With just the smaller battery in the camera, I'm getting only about 500 pictures on a charge if I leave the GPS on constantly. Add the MB-D10 and its EN-EL4a and I'm good for 1200-1500 shots. Without the GPS, this same setup is good for around 2500-3000 shots with my usual settings.
The stand-alone charger is also wonderful in that it can recharge the EN-EL4a in a very short amount of time. So if I do something silly (like forget to turn the camera off with the GPS mounted), I'm back in business quickly.
Another thing I like about the EN-EL4a is its cold weather performance. I do a lot of winter nature photography, and I'm frequently out in subzero weather for hours at a time and I've never really noticed any less battery performance, even in these extreme conditions.
Great battery all in all...maybe even worth the high price.
Digital camera Review: Incredible Battery Life
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a serious battery and the first reviewer seems confused when he states that this battery both does and does not work with the MB-10 (???)
This is the original equipment battery for the new Nikon D3 which reviewer Bjorn Rorslett claims to have gotten 5198 D3 images from a single charge -- in Norway, in the winter!
This is a 5 star battery. D3 owners may also wish to purchase the $20 BL-4 spare battery compartment door to make swapping batteries easy and fast.
Although I have yet to actually NEED my spare, I certainly wouldn't go out on a job without one.
Digital camera Review: Nikon EN-EL4A Battery
Summary: 5 Stars
The improved version of EN-EL4. More powerful than my original factory battery. Nikon quality through out, and even at 2-3 times the price of after market replacement batteries this real Nikon battery is by far the better deal. More total exposures and holds a charge longer in the camera. When looking for a back up battery for my D2X many other's bad reviews of those other replacement types convinced me to buy this factory version. I can't and won't take a chance on poor equipment. In my life I've frequently found that you don't save money when you save money.Digital camera Review: Nikon EN-EL4a
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the original Nikon EN-EL4a battery for the D300 with MB-D10 vertical grip. Works perfectfly. The charge lasts forever. Don't buy the generic replacement for this battery, they DON'T work. I've tried 3 different generic brand & none of them work. I ended up wasting more time & money. Just go with the Nikon & your safe.Digital camera Review: Not cheap, but useful
Summary: 5 Stars
Only way to get the 8 frame per second response from D300. Don't trust after-market versions...
