Short review

EN-EL3a battery pack

I am very pleased with all the equipment received.  Delivery was on time and everything came as requested.  Strongly recommend this vendor.

I am very pleased with all the equipment received

I bought it for a second camera, purchased used, that uses the same system.

Not used at this time

Compré un MH-18a para cargar la batería de mi Nikon D80. Conecto la batería al cargador y comienza a parpadear una luz ámbar. En la propaganda de Nikon dice que en 120 minutos carga una batería pero lo he conectado durante 12 horas y la luz no deja de parpadear pero la batería no carga nada. Uso un cargador universal marca VIVITAR y la batería carga en 3 horas.

No Carga la batería de mi Nikon D80

I put the battery in; the battery charges.  What more can you ask for.

Typical Nikon; works great

I have had one since 2006 and it works wonderfully, but I'm about to take off for Ireland and want to know whether it works on 240V 50 Hz current. The label on the back is confusing, with one set of data (120V 60Hz) and then a second set of data in a box marked "Foreign" (100–240V 50–60 Hz). "Foreign" relative to where? and is it or is it not designed to operate over the wider range of voltages and frequencies?

Great product but I have a queston

Nikon Charger

I Actually ....Both Them By Mistake .... Because ....My Original One ....Got Left Out In The Rain .....And Didnt Work No More ....Untill I Took It Apart .....Dried It out Good ....And Then Sanded Down The Contacts .... And Bingo _ Bango ....Its Still Working Great

The Item Worked Like A Charm

Nice to have a few battery chargers, this one is great.

Awesome! Comes in handy to have a couple

Why would Nikon sell/advertise this charger for the D80 if it did not work with it?

This is a good charger, however if you leave your battery out too long and it becomes undercharged, this charger will blink 5 times (I think 4 but whatever) and not charge the battery.

Luckily for me I have a special universal charger, and gave it a quick initial charge, and now the MH-18a is good to go.

Take care of your batteries, and your batteries will take care of you.

It works fine with a D80

Forget charging up all those batteries this one battery will last you hours. The cable is easy to pack and you can plug it in anywhere and recharge you battery.

Forget charging up all those batteries.

To the person in Columbia, SC that gave the negative review. The MH-18a charger is the correct charger for your EN-EL3e battery. It sounds like your issue is the battery pack itself not the charger. I am a camera tech for a large photography company (200 plus traveling studios), we use this charger and battery combo in every studio. I have had a few of these batteries that have failed recently and they are doing this exact same thing. Charger blinks for a short time then goes back to a solid light. Of the three contact points on the battery pack, only two are actually "charge points". If you look at the battery you will see the contacts are labeled as + - and "S". The S contact is the center contact, it is NOT used for charging the battery.

In response to the person from Columbia, SC

I was really anxious to receive my charger from Amazon to begin using my D80 again after not being able to find the original battery charger for months. After inserting the battery in the new charger, the charger blinked about 5 times then Immediately displayed a solid amber light. This happened every time I inserted the battery.I left the battery in the charger over night. STILL NOT CHARGED! I then noticed that the D80 battery has three chargeable points of contact but the charger itself only has two!!! Returning it today!!!!

Does not work with D80!

TO CHARGE MY BATTERY'S BEFORE i GO ON A SHOOT

Much Improved Battery Chager

Cameras used on all my hunting activities.  Other activities and home events. 
Chargers were purchased to replace original unit lost on a trip. One unit goes in the travel kit, the other one  is a backup unit for home.
I also carry an ACDC charger in my travel kit.

Replacement and spare unit.

I had lost my original charger and searched all over the web. I actually had purchased the same item from two other websites who after taking my money called me to state that they were not only out of stock, but that there was a nationwide recall and none are available. I had to wait over a week to get my $ back. So I was surprised to recieve this item in its original Nikon packaging and it works great. Thanks Adorama.

Arrived fast, just as advertised

It works

This replacement for 3 year old charger that broke. This is definitely more sturdy that a [$]after market charger that I got.

Nikon charger

Bought as "travel charger" for D80.  Have cut the cord to make it lighter and more mobile.  Would have preferred a wall wart or shorter cord.

Spare for travel bag

Good replacement for the included charger with my Nikon. Lightweight, but a little bulky for travelling, but a definite must have when travelling.
