Nikon EN-EL5 Rechargeable Li-ion Battery for Coolpix P3, P4. P5000, S10, 3700, 4200, 5200, 5900 & 7900 Digital Cameras

I found Amazon.com to be a great way to obtain an extra battery for my new camera, at a fraction of the cost of our local stores. What a find!

I've used a lot of rechargeable batteries in various digital cameras. Even with its compact size, this one performs and holds a charge well, and I'm surprised at the number of shots I can get on a charge. It also lasts longer than I expected in storage during times when the camera isn't used frequently. The two-hour recharging time is very reasonable.

You can get cheaper substitutes, but I wouldn't risk the electonics in my P5000 with an off-brand battery. And at $10, its very reasonable.

It can be irritating to have a battery run out while you are on a trip - so we got this extra OEM battery. It has worked well for us and seems to hold as much charge as the battery we got with the camera.

Battery is good. The charge life is shorter than I would expect.

It's original Nikon, so no qualms about swapping it with the battery that came with the camera while that one's recharging.
