 Spare battery for Nikon D40 SLR camera October 27, 2007
I'm not sure why I need a spare EN-EL9 battery for my Nikon D40 SLR, which I just got. The reason is that the original last very long, between 300 to 400 shots, depending if you use flash or not. I guess one of the reason was the price. For a OEM battery, Amazon had the best price. I didn't even consider buying a non-Nikon brand. I read about other people having problem with them exploding, not holding a charge, etc. Not worth it. The extra battery gives me the security of not having to worry about loosing a charge away from home. Also the Li-ion battery doesn't loose charge like Ni-cad batteries.
A preference for the name brand battery October 26, 2007

I liked the price on amazon, so I bought this Nikon brand battery for my new Nikon D40x 10.2MP Digital SLR Camera with 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor Lens. So far, so good. The battery charges fairly fast and lasts a long time.
I'm a firm believer in having at least one extra rechargeable battery for a digital camera. If you take a lot of pictures, you have a good chance of your battery running low while you're out and about. If you don't use the camera often, you might take it to a special occasion without realizing that the battery's getting low. In either case, having a spare fully charged battery will help you avoid the frustration of having a dead camera at the wrong time and place.
I'm okay with paying a few extra bucks for the Nikon branded battery, based on my experience with two "no-name" rechargeables I bought a few years ago for my Nikon Coolpix 7900 camera. The "no-names" cost less than the Nikon brand battery. They charged up and worked just fine at first, and I rotated all 3 batteries through the camera, with roughly equal amounts of use and recharge cycles for the batteries. All rechargeable batteries eventually lose their ability to hold a charge, after going through a number of charge/discharge cycles. In the case of the Coolpix camera, the original Nikon battery outlasted both of the "no-name" generic batteries.
So based on my experience with those batteries, I'm sticking with the Nikon brand for the extra battery for my D40x, because I expect it to last through more charge/discharge cycles over its lifetime than a generic (and cheaper) equivalent battery.
Great addition to my Nikon setup. October 15, 2007
I purchased this as a backup for my primary and found out that it charges a bit quicker than the one that came with the camera and the charge last about the same. So with this battery and the original I can photograph just about continually all day and hope I have enough disk to handle all the shots. Would recommend this one to any serious photographer.
 Doesn't last long October 11, 2007

I use D40x with 18-200 and 70-200 f/2.8 lenses, the battery doesn't last long and I can't shoot anymore when there is only one bar on the battery. The camera shooter is automatically released. I hope this battery lasts longer.

It charges in less than 90 minutes. It can process over 250 pictures at the highest resolution.
