Purchased two different STK chargers for our Nikon D3100 and D7000 cameras, respectively, that we took on a big family vacation. We knew we needed car charger versions since we were camping where no outlets were available, and wanted them from a company with good reviews. We couldn't find a Nikon brand charger with a car charger capability, which surprised me. But the STK brand did great on the trip, charged the batteries like they should, and took about as long as the Nikon brand chargers. The color changes on the LED when the charge is complete. They are both physically smaller, approximately 1/2 size of OEM, and lightweight. Each charger comes with a standard wall plug-in (2-prong) that tucks neatly away (tucks better than the Nikon D7000 OEM). They can be used with normal outlets or with a car charger. The car charger cord plugs into the top side of the unit and accepts 12-24 Volts from the car, with 12V being standard for most vehicles. The chargers are also designed for foreign travel since they accept 100-240 volts and 50-60 Hertz (e.g., most European electricity is at 230V and 50Hz compared to the US 115V and 60Hz). We used to live overseas while in the military, and we learned to appreciate appliances and electronics that would take either electrical standard so we didn't have to sell everything when moving back and forth. Anyway, we took both sets of chargers (OEM and STK), since we like to have back-ups when possible. Good purchase for us, and we are comfortable using the STK brand at home. They also come with a one-year warranty, a nice touch. I would recommend this for an OEM replacement if that one fails, and certainly if you are doing any traveling. Lastly, make sure you test it before going on a big trip -- we don't want any surprises for such a critical camera component.

I purchased this charging block for my Nikon D3300. I lost the original charger during a road trip about 6 months ago, so my camera has been dead for quite some time.I received my order today, so this review isn't based on long term use.My original Nikon D3300 battery fits nicely into this charger. I plugged it in and a light showed that it was charging. I did not time it to see how long it took to complete the charge, as I am a mom with 2 kids and I honestly forgot it was charging. There is just shy of 4 hours difference between my pictures of "charging" vs "charged". I unplugged and put the battery into my camera. Camera shows a full battery life.I have not yet used the camera to see that the charge holds as long as the original Nikon charger, but I dont anticipate it to be any different.In my opinion, the charger does the job it is supposed to do and a very reasonable price.Good luck!

Updated: 6/25/2013: Just got back from a road trip and the pigtail for car charger was shaky. Had to be in exact position to charge battery. I made it through fine but it was too much of a pain to be wondering if it would charge or not. At times I would have to push the pigtail into the charger and hold it for a few minutes the gently lay it on the car seat. Continue driving while trying to make sure it was charging etc. Too much stress to be wondering if you are going to be able to charge or not. Works great inside the house so not a total loss but will be looking for something more reliable for the road.Have yet to try the car charger part of it out but so far it works just as well as the original Nikon. The charger is made of high quality materials and come with a warranty. No regrets and you can't beat the price. Will update should the car charger fail to work as advertised.

I am writing this in response to another customer's review stating that this charger absolutely would not work with a Nikon EN-EL 14A battery.I just received this charger today, along with a Nikon brand EN-EL 14A battery which I ordered separately. I put the battery in the charger and plugged it into a wall receptacle. I was greeted with a solid red light indicating that the battery was charging. Two hours later, the light changed to solid green indicating the battery was fully charged. I rated this four stars only because I haven't had it long enough to rate durability and longevity over time. This charger appears to be a quality product that performs as advertised. It is also significantly less expensive than the Nikon brand MH-24 alternative.

I got my Nikon camera right after Christmas. We had packaging and boxes that needed to be thrown away. Unfortunately, I never took the original charger for my camera out of the box, and my husband disposed of it thinking it was empty! After such a pricey purchase, and seeing the cost of an original charger replacement, I started looking for alternatives. I was very happy to find this charger that works as both a wall and a car charger.Not only do I love it, but my husband, who has a similar model camera that takes the same battery, will use this one over the original one that came with his camera. It's super convenient to have and I keep it in my camera bag when we go out shooting so I can always charge in the car if I need to. Very convenient, I would highly recommend it.
