BM Premium Pack of 2 ENEL20, EN-EL20a Batteries and USB Dual Battery Charger for Nikon Coolpix P950, P1000, P1100, DL24-500, Coolpix A, 1 AW1, 1 J1, 1 J2, 1 J3, 1 S1, 1 V3 Digital Camera

Tried these batteries instead of name brand, since my less than year old Nikon wouldn't charge anymore. These were 1/3 less, and came with 2 batteries and a dual bay charger. These fit my Nikon P1000 and seem to be working fine. Do to only having them for short period, I can't really comment on capacity. However, out of curiosity I used the new charger on my "bad" Nikon battery. I was very surprised and happy to see that the new charger successfully charged my "bad" battery. Then I tried a bad for 18 month battery I had sitting on the shelf, and it too is now fully charged. I attribute it to different charging methods, but this BM charger seems to work very well.

This premium pack comes with a dual battery charger that is a great place to keep that extra battery right in full sight so when it is time to switch batteries, there is no hunting around.

Their cheap and they work.

After receiving and charging the batteries, here are my observations:1. The charger is one that gets plugged into a USB port and not a wall outlet.2. The charging cord, with the USB, is absurdly short (maybe 1 foot).3. The batteries took hours to charge, longer than a battery charging station plugged into a wall outlet and for a P900 camera.4. The batteries, once fully charged, took less than 300 pictures.5. Batteries not from BM Premium (Nikon EN-EL20A) did not take a charge well from this charging station. I have to charge Nikon batteries in another charging station or the camera.You'll want to keep a supply of charged batteries with you on an outing. I found I can get nearly 400 pictures with a Nikon battery and less then 300 from these batteries, as already mentioned.Recommended, but be aware of the things mentioned above.

I have my Nikon P1000 for four years now. I love it, but over time, I noticed its performance started to change. I didn't really put one and one together until I bought these batteries as a back up, for I am out of town and forgot to take the USB cable with me. When I put in one of the new batteries, I realized that even though my original battery was charging, it must have weakened over time to where it affected the camera's performance. Now it's back to itself and I am excited I can use it as I intended. Short version: works well, charges quick, definitely recommended to have in addition or as a backup to the original battery.

I purchased these batteries to go with the camera, which only came with one battery, to make up the accessory package for my daughters trip to Antarctica. It is important to have batteries available when it is cold, even if you take your camera to take mountain shots or shots of skiers– not just penguins. The batteries charge quickly, the life is reasonably long under different circumstances and work with the camera perfect.

I love being able to see the percentage at they charge.With two batteries it's quite a deal.

nice to have extra batteries
