Nikon Battery Question

[355858]

hi guys ive just ordered the mb-d80 grip from warehouse express, i have my original battery that came with the camera, but was wondering if i can mix it with a cheaper battery as nikon batteries are quite expensive.

I found this on ebay is it going to be ok to use?

Hi I use the standard Nikon one and an aftermarket one and have done for 8 month without problems

Edit....thats both at the same time in my grip

Yes, you can, but you need to ensure the aftermarket battery is D90 compatible, they all should be by now, but some older ones won't work in the camera - I have a pile of them from my D80 days that won't work in the D300, fortunately they work fine in the D70

Don't buy "genuine" Nikon batteries off Ebay whatever you do, especially the "bargain" ones :nono:

I'd recommend Phottix ones, they'll be dead cheap, I think I was £12, delivered for two for my Canon G10...

I use this in my D90 and it's very good. I used the same brand in my previous D40x too.

I gave some of them away, but there must be a few kicking about somewhere, if I can find any you can have them, but I haven't seen them for ages so they could be anywhere
