Life Saving Battery Charger!!! [Posted on 2007-04-22]
I came over to the US for three weeks on vacation..guess what?...Yup, forgot my D-80 charger..DOH!! I couldn't believe it, i'd have to spend a fortune buying another Nikon charger, hope it came in time before my battery ran out, and then be stuck with two chargers when i got home to the UK. I did a search web wide and Amazon came up with this item from Battery Heads. Not only is it small and compact, it plugs straight in the wall with no extra wires, the prongs on the plug fold flat into the body of the unit for easy stowing in my camera bag. Not only this but when the battery is attatched the charger becomes a torch with choice of blue or white LED when you keep your thumb down on the relevant button. AND THERE'S MORE!!!...to make it the ultimate travel must have for the photographer on the move it also comes with a 12V car adapter which plugs right into the side of the charger, unbelievable when you look at the price! Now there's no excuse for not getting that great shot at home, abroad or out in the car. Very many thanks to Battery Heads for supplying this item and getting it to me so fast i didn't have to worry about my camera going down in the middle of an unmissable shot! GO BUY THIS IT'S GREAT!
A Waste of Money [Posted on 2008-10-16]
I was very disappointed with this battery charger. First off the battery fit loosely into the charger, unless something heavy was holding it in place (my hand or a book) the battery wouldn't even charge. Secondly, the charger would only charge the batter 2/5 of the way.
I called to get my money back and the customer service lady was very helpful and promised to send me a label so that I could return the charger. However they took several weeks to actually get the label to me and by then I had already purchased a new battery charger and wasn't even thinking about their charger anymore.
I know that it's tempting to buy this charger because it is so cheap, but fight the urge and just pony up the money to buy a legitimate Nikon charger. Unless you don't mind owning a battery charger that is ineffective at charging batteries.
