Review: EN-EL3 Battery from 7Dayshop

October 11th, 2006

I recently shopped round for a couple of spare batteries for my Nikon D50. In the end I decided to chance the superb deal from 7dayshop.com - EN-EL3a at £6.49 each. The genuine cell goes for £50 in some places. I also ordered a new cell for my Dads Olympus Mju Digital, a mini tripod and a BL-5C battery for my Nokia. This lot cost £3.95 to be delivered and turned up 2 days after I ordered, which is pretty fast (I ordered out of business hours).

The build quality of the cells is fine, and they charged up on the Nikon Charger without issue. So far I have only popped one in and tested it with some indoor flash shots, but the flash cycled fast and the cell showed no signs of discharge. I will update this review when I have had chance to use the camera for a thousand shots or so.

The BL-5c I bought for my phone has held up fine for 2 days so far and is still showing full charge. That was £3.60!
Have a look at the EN-EL3a from 7Dayshop here.
