Adorama Shipped quickly. Product worked as expected. No problems which was wonderful.

Excellent Prodect

This product, along with a spare battery, is much more convenient than the single cord that plugs in to the camera provided by Nikon with camera purchase. The original connector from the cord to the camera broke and this replacement is much better.

As Advertised

This is the exact model needed for the battery.

I love the extension cord feature. This allows me to (1) not hog valuable outlet space, and (2) I can have the charger readily accessible sitting on my desk (no crawling around to the nearest outlet). Some others complain about this feature claiming for one that it adds to bulk to the otherwise light weight travel package. I don't carry an AC charger on hikes - it stays back at the hotel or vehicle. I simply hike with two batteries and one is typically all I ever need.

Love the extension cord!

Unlike the other reviews, I love that this charger has a cable. I can snake the cable to an outlet and sill have the actual charger up on the desk so I can easily get to it without crawling around the floor. I also don't have to worry if some power brick is going to take up too much space and prevent me from using all the outlets.

Great Charger

Great Service and shipment. I will buy with yours again.
Thanks a lot

Excelent Nikon product

The cherger is all the features I want - easy to use, small, plug prongs that fold so I can put the charger in a small pocket in the camera case,works very well !

The cherger is all the features I want

I have only had the charger a short time, but it works just as it should. Just  plug it in insert a battery and it does the work.

Nice charger

Since I had misplaced the charger the came with my camera, this charger is a godsend!  Only one problem, when it arrived it had the European plug, and not the American plug, I was able to use another power adapter that had the correct plug style.

Just the charger I needed

Cord is too heavy and too long. I cut it and made it short.

Poor Travel Charger

Replacd lost original. Replacement arrived promptly.

Battery Re-charger

Nikon sells the camera with a charging cord that must be plugged into the camera.  That means you cannot use the camera while your spare battery is charging.

Really need this charger

I needed a second battery. Thanks for the quick
accurate service.

Perfect

I just received the Nikon AW100 as a gift. How disappointing to find that the battery charger that came with the camera does not just plug into the wall but has a long cord instead. Definitely not travel friendly. Most definitely needs to be redesigned.

MH-65 Battery Charger

I just purchased the Coolpix AW100 and it came with this charger. The camera ROCKS but this charger is enough to make me question Nikon's thinking as to the "entire package. The cord is six feet long. A good charger design plugs right into the outlet with flip-out prongs. Why did Nikon pair such a well designed camera with such an outdated charger. Now, I get to go and purchase a third party charger that makes sense - NO power chord. Nikon needs to take a cue from Apple. If it is in the box, get it right! In this case, they got it all wrong. I have (and love) a Nikon D7000 - it has the right kind of charger to go along with a killer camera. At work I shoot the D3X. Sorry Nikon, I will take a closer look at your point and shoots in the future before I buy. Grrrrrrr.

Tragic Design

Why the humongous cord?? People who purchase this battery charger need to realize there is a big, fat, 6 foot long, heavy appliance cord that is thick as (or even thicker than) an extension cord that is needed to plug this charger into the outlet. It does NOT have prongs contained in the charger itself, like chargers I've had for other cameras. It doesn't fit into my little camera accessory bag, doesn't even fit into the inside pocket of my carry-on! Why can't Nikon build a charger with the prongs built in, or at least use the same cord as is used to charge the battery inside the camera. Not very convenient for travel. There are other options that DO have the outlet prongs built into the charger. No, it is not Nikon OEM, but works just fine. The output from the Nikon MH-65 is 4.2V, 700mA. Just get a non-Nikon charger designed for the EN-EL 12 battery with similar specs so you don't blow out your battery. I have used one made by Wasabi that has the prongs that fold into the charger itself, plus has a compact 12V car charger & European plug adapter - all for a lower price than the Nikon charger. The output is 4.2V, 500 mA so it may take a bit longer to charge the battery, but will NOT harm the Nikon battery - in spite of Nikon's claim that you need to use only the Nikon OEM charger. I use that one for travel and keep the Nikon one at home.

Not good for travel

This battery charger for the AW100 camera is extreemly outdated and ill designed. The bulky, long power cord needed to make the charger work is just added weight and space to carry around. This charger should plug directly into the wall, like the one I use for a Fugitsu that I bought 3 years ago! Either redisign the rechargable battery charger, or better yet, just design the camera to use regular AA batteries that can be purchased easily all over the world!

POORLY DESIGNED BATTERY CHARGER FOR AW100

Charger was convenient during travel, could charge the extra battery while out and about using the camera.  But could use a travel case and a shorter cord.

Convenience

I too have recently bought the Nikon Coolpix 310 even though the in-camera charging option supplied with the box is ridiculously impractical. However, my rationale was that I could buy the external MH-65 charger, which I erroneously believed would function similar to many other camera chargers, i.e. plug directly into the wall. What was Nikon thinking? Any advantage of spending a lot of money on a small advanced camera is completely nullified by having to buy a charger and separate cord package that required an extra suitcase when traveling. I exaggerate of course, but the size and weight of the thing is ludicrous. I am taking the camera back and sticking with the much superior Canon S series camera (and charger!) that I have used previously.

What are Nikon thinking?

Not pictured, there is a tremendous cord the size of a full grown python that you get to stuff in all your TINY CASES FOR YOUR LIGHT TRAVEL. Who needs convenience?? That's for the weak. No, you get to carry extra stuff around. Packing light is just dumb.

Then I did see the one with the USB port that attaches in the wall and charges the battery in the camera. Great for when you want to charge your extra battery and still go take pictures... Oh wait.... No it's not.

I love the camera, wondering why people who make waterproof cameras, can't make a more convenient travel friendly wall charger that charges the battery outside the camera? I must be expecting way too much.

Surprise burmese python size cord!

I may return this camera just because of the charger. I came from a Panasonic lumix. The charger has the plug built into it. No cord. Just what I dont want when packing light is Nikon's setup. Not shown in pics.

Too heavy and bulky. Charger and a ridiculous cord.

Nikon provides two different battery chargers for the S8200, which are opposite in almost every respect. The EH-69P, which comes with the camera, charges the battery inside the camera using the USB cable. It plugs directly into the AC outlet, which means no separate power cord to pack around and/or lose. The MH-65, has a cradle to charge the battery outside the camera, but it has a separate power cord (does not plug directly into the AC outlet).

I suppose Nikon is trying to satisfy different needs, but why can’t they combine these into one universal adapter? Here are the specs, more or less in order of importance.

1. Charge a battery outside the camera, like the MH65. This is critical for those who use multiple batteries.

2. Plugs directly into the outlet, like the EH69P. This eliminates the need for a separate power cord. To make this more usable, have the plug flip out from the edge, instead of the back.

3. Charge the battery inside the camera, like the EH89P. Ideally, it could do both at the same time. This requires a cable, but if it’s the USB cable, it’s not an extra cable. If I don’t need this feature, I can leave that cable home.

4. Has a separate power cable to the AC outlet for cases where there is not enough space to plug the adapter directly into the outlet. If I don’t need this capability, I can leave the power cable home.

Oh, and if you use the search box on this site to locate these products, be sure to spell them EXACTLY. The site is not smart enough to find "mh65". You must type "mh-65".

Why two chargers? Combine them.

like a separate charger that does not go through the camera.  Might prefer if it were one piece without a cord-more self contained

liked the product

Foots the bill

I just purchased the Nikon MH-65 charger for my new Coolpix S9100. The charger works fine but the design does not meet today's standards in my opinion.

My 4 year old Panasonic has a charger that plugs directly into a wall outlet. The Nikon MH-65 charger uses a long electrical cord to plug into power. The Coolpix S9100 is small and light weight. It seems counter intuitive to me that the charger would require the use of a separate power cord which adds to the weight and amount of extras that have to be carried around. If Nikon cannot design a charger that plugs directly into the wall outlet, at least design the AC charger to use the same power cord that is used to charge the battery while the battery is in the camera.

The instructions with the charger are for a different charger/battery combination. The literature should be updated or the correct literature should be included with the MH-65.

Needs to be improved

I was on a cruise when my Kodak Camera quit working. I was very disapointed. So I purchased a Nikon S6000 onboard the ship. But only having one battery and one way to charge it left me without use of my camera for 8 to 12 hours.  So, the day I arrived home I searched the internet to get one of the above. Very happy with the product so far.

GREAT PRODUCT

If you are traveling i highly recommend buying this charger along with a spare battery. You can keep on shooting with the camera and charge the battery at your convenience. Also you don't have to charge the battery using your camera
