Nikon

I purchased the two pack with charger and was very happy to see how quickly they charged up and everything seemed great especially since they were for a camera I never use. How ever it's been a couple of months and I went to use the camera and the battery in the camera was 50% full so I pulled it out to charge and threw the spare in wich should have been 75 to 80 % charged how ever it was so low it couldn't even get my camera on the best part is the first battery when charged till all lights are lit up on the provided charging unit ie full well the camera registers it as 75% full and the spare or back up that was extremely low when put on the charger immediately reads fully charged so it seems like I am taking an l on this one seeing as how my 30 day return window is long gone it's pretty frustrating! I can find no way to contact the seller to see if they are willing to help replace this obviously faulty product.

Fits my Nikon D80 perfectly. I haven’t used it long enough to determine battery life quality.

It works great

The batteries came pre-charged at about 80% But once used, you can't even charge their batteries with the supplied charger, I tried different cables and types: Micro USB, USB-C, 2.0/3.0, and even tried with the original Nikon charger. Chargers show as completed, but batteries in the camera, still show 0% and shuts down. Returned.

Exactly what it claimed to be!

This first suggestion is perhaps the most important: keep the Amazon ad open. If you rely on the flimsy instruction pamphlet that come with this weird (or maybe innovative), charger and battery set, you may get into trouble. That is, there's rough seas ahead if you are the person who can't easily build a desk from a kit containing flat lumber and baggies full of funny-shaped screws. That, ahem, would be me. You could almost disregard, in fact, the scant instructions that accompany this package. The USB cable comes stuffed into a cavity that stretches the length and width of the charger unit. If you can figure that out quickly, in the absence of words to that effect, you're almost there. But NOW we're at the tipping point. Unless I'm horribly mistaken, NOWHERE DO THE INSTRUCTIONS show the batteries standing up, vertically like soldiers. I'm thinking, "How can this be? The charger for my 2008 Nikon D700 camera is such that you lay the batteries flat onto the main unit . . . " Maybe the Uwayor unit will do that if I tap it a couple of times with a hammer. Maybe not. The correct configuration of unit and batteries is shown clearly on the advertisement online at Amazon.ca or .com. The crux of the matter is that the Uwayor places two batteries in the space that Nikon allocates for one. And they stand straight like soldiers, not flat. Looking back, except for the flimsy-feel of the yellow USB cable that you remove from its resting place in that canyon that runs the length and the width of the charger base, there's only one part that caused me to raise an eyebrow. I followed the instructions regarding powering-up the unit. You wait maybe four seconds before you can get charging. It seems so minimal you wonder why the company mentions it. It's not like I was hoping for enough time to go make an omelette; it was just a little mysterious. Moving along, you place the batteries into the unit, they charge, the light goes green indicating the batteries are juiced-up to the max. Took about an hour first time I got the unit; took about 2.5hours after I let the batteries deplete completely. Okay, so they're charged and I've inserted them into the D700 camera. Ah, wait! The Nikon D700 has a battery status indicator and it says that battery-1 (inserted in the main camera body) reads that it's only 73% full. The second battery, which goes into the optional external battery holder, says it's now 82% full. I guess I could have waited longer when it came time to use the charger a second time. After all, the charger protects the batteries from over-charging and protects the unit from over-heating. At any rate, once I got the green light, I took the batteries out of the charger and placed them into the Nikon. Same discrepancy. I'm not going to lose sleep over it. Because even though the discrepancy prevailed, I know this camera well, and I have to admit that the Uwayor charger and batteries behave as reliably, thus far, as their Nikon counterparts. I would recommend this charger and batteries on the quality of the batteries, the length of time they hold a charge, and, again, on that quirky use of scarce resources in the design. Definitely I'd recommend the Uwayor on price and, aside from a rather stiff USB cable, which is hard-wired to the unit, and a few numbers that didn't jive, at this price you are sitting pretty. And, you know, I've had that Nikon D700, which I still rate as one of the world's all-time best cameras, since 2009 when I bought it new. I've tripped that shutter over 150,000 times (there's a way to read this in the background data, which you can check out in Photoshop) and that camera is in its prime. The only reason it's going to go down is for want of batteries. And that's what we've been talking about the last five minutes or so. Thanks to the Uwayor unit, I have two brand new batteries, as good as the original Nikons, and a charger. At this price, it's a winner. Recommended. Tbw

A worthy package that breathes new life into my old camera.Batteries arrived fully charged.I spent 3 days using 1 in my Nikon D50 until charge was completely gone.Took under 4 hours to fully charge empty battery. Might really be3 hours to charge > I took a nap and battery was completely charged when I woke up.Nice that it comes with multiple ports thus various connection options. See pics.You will need your own power supply.Important things to know:Do Not put batteries in charger when first plugging in to power supply.The charger needs 3 seconds to calibrate itself (as per instruction manual).After 3 seconds you can insert batteries. I go on safe sideand wait 5-10 seconds before inserting batteries.Do not mix other similar batteries in the device. Use only batteriesthat came with the charger.Keep metal contacts of the device and batteries clean, free from dust,etc.The little green power indicator gives logical indications of charge status.See attached pic.Final thoughts:A good package that includes 2 batteries, 1 charger capable of handling 2 batteriessimultaneously, unattached usb cable, built in cable, various ports for connectingto different power supplies. Good price for all of above.
