Nikon Lithium Battery Charger Blinking Light

It's a battery charger, and it charges batteries. It's better than that Nikon one because 1) it charges two at a time and 2) it shows the charge status for each battery, rather than just blinking. I think it's faster than the Nikon chargers.

In the past I would only use Nikon flashes, but I was interested in trying out the first generation version of this flash to see how the lithium battery performed. After only one job with it I was hooked. It is so much better that messing with multiple sets of rechargeable AAs. The TTL is not as good as the Nikon flash, but I almost always use manual so that is not a big deal. What I love about this version is the new simplified menu and the little LED modeling light on the front. As a Nikon Z6ii user this comes in handy when the light is getting dark.

Having the LCD screen makes the charger a much better tool than the standard blinking light setup on original unit. Ability to charge 2 batteries at once a bonus as well.

The charger itself is excellent. It has a nice compact design that gits in everywhere. I like the blinking light because it really helps me know when the battery is all set and charged. The only negative are the cost...$45!? Oh well. Also, it can sometimes take up a lot of outlet space when plugged in if if covers space up. But that's also avoidable.

The Watson Lithium Battery is a great backup for a Nikon battery. It lasts as long and makes a great back up for a Nikon battery.

These lithium batteries are very light and last a long time. Charger works well too.

The Nikon EN-EL 18d Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Battery is a super battery with an incredibly long life and easy to recharge. Highly recommend!

I use this battery as a back-up to my Nikon battery EN-EL4a rechargeable Lithium-ion Battery Pack. I always use my original Nikon battery but if I am out in the field and my Nikon battery goes down after many shots, I then switch to the the Watson EN-EL4A Lithium-Ion Battery Pack as my back-up until I can re-charge the Nikon battery again at home. I find it's more economical using it that way since there is such a big price difference between the Nikon Battery and the Watson Battery. However the Watson battery is a very good battery and reliable in every way.

This lithium battery is very reliable.

Made by Canon, I like the way this folds up and fits into my back. I like the 3 light blinking system to gauge how charged the battery it. its also very light weight! I should get more of these haha!
