Searching ebay and looking @ $14 for a Nikon EN-EL3e Rechargeable Li-Ion Battery Replacement. Anyone recommend a brand, vendor or site for D90 Battery. Also battery grip solution. Thanks.
 
I would stick with the Nikon brand batteries, you can usually find them for the same price as the competition, and I find they generally have a better lifespan. In regards to a battery grip, I use the MB-D80 Nikon grip, holds 2 EN-EL3e batts and comes with a backup battery tray which powers the camera from 6 AA batts.
 
go Nikon ay, they changed somthing in the d90 and it doesn't reckonize the thrid party batterys, at least it didn't when i got my d90 (6 months ago)

Hey Andrew, with the MB-D80 Nikon grip, can you still mount the camera on a tripod?
 
yeah, i bought a charger and got a battery with it. it didn't work, said it was at 0% when fully charged, so i asked the seller for a replacement, no problem, except that didn't work either. i got two batteries with my grip that work fine though. they say nikon but i highly doubt it considering the price (free with a $90 grip).

I bought 2 non oem batteries, the nikon branded batteries are about $90 in Australia. I got one of the batteries for $20 which doesn't work. The other one cost me $50 and works fine.
 
yes Nikon brand all the way. Bought a D90 a few weeks ago and got a third party battery that was listed with it on B&H..... never held a charge. Had to return it and get my money back.

what brand grip did you get?
 
roxsen. beware though. the grip is great and i'm happy with it, but i didn't get all the accessories i paid for and now they are impossible to get hold of. i've sent numerous emails and filed complaints wherever possible and hopefully they'll wake up.

Matt,

Was this the roxsen grip ? Comes with 2 batteries.

Also, Not sure if it was you that was testing "time lapse" function with this grip. Any footage ?

Last, did they ever resolve your issue?

Thanks.
 
I bought 3 additional $20 batteries with charger on e-bay and they have been running my D90 just fine - in fact I can shoot a full day wedding on just one battery no problems :D

NIkon or 3rd Party brand ? Do you have a link ?
 
yes it comes with two batteries. they work great. and yes the timelapse function works great. no, i don't have any examples yet, i shot it for a feature and we've decided to not show much yet. no, they haven't resolved my issue but after i filed formal complaints and requested a refund from paypal they're finally answering my emails. they said they're out of stock on the battery holder but they will send it. i'm still waiting.

they have removed the aa battery holder from the description so i guess they're really out of it. i hope they're sane enough to simply go down to the nearest store, buy one whatever the cost and send it over.

Sure, they are not Nikon batteries, they are unbranded OEM units, this is where I bought mine from on e-bay: Imode

The nice thing is that these after market batteries charge just fine on my Nikon charger too :)
