 Good price and good battery November 29, 2007
Amazon had the best price and I had to have the battery in 2 days and they were able to get it to me on time. Good battery. I already had one of these that came with my Nikon D40x unfortunately the repair shop my camera was shipped too accidentally forgot to ship my original battery back with my camera so I found this one on amazon and they had it to me just in time for a photo shoot. These batteries last a long time. Make sure the run them down all the way b/f each charge that way the battery life last longer. Its good to keep 2 of these on hand especially if you are a photographer that way you can let one die completely down and pop in the other one while you are still shooting.
 Nikon Battery Charger EN-EL9 November 29, 2007

Easy to use and rapid. Can be used on 220 Volts while travelling abroad and requires only an adapter for the outlets, alhtough I followed Nikon's recommendations and purchased a cord for use on a 220 Volt line. (These cable/cords can be found in stores abroad which sell cameras, electronic appliances and computers)
Backup battery November 3, 2007
I bought this battery as a backup for my Nikon D40X. I would greatly recommend getting a backup battery unless you feel like waiting for your depleted one to charge. This battery works as it should.
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.
