Rating: - MH-23 makes Whine?
When I plug my MH-23 Quick Charger before insert a battery, I always hear the electronic voice whining from the contacting cells of charger -- Just like the electricity is running...Is that normal?
Rating: - Keep track of the cord!
The ONLY reason that I was looking up this Nikon charger online is that I need to buy an AC cord to replace the one that I've been missing for months. Normally, I leave the cord attached to the charger, but I take them apart to pack for traveling, and somewhere along the line they got separated. I have a smaller-size digital Canon (with a prong adapter) that I use more frequently, so I haven't been desperate to find my Nikon cord, and I figured it would have turned up by now. I have other detachable ac cords from various electronics, but of course, not-a-one-of-'em is 120v input. I love my Nikon camera, but the charger leaves something to be desired.

Product works as advertised, but I don't understand why they designed it to need a separate power cord. Canon got it right, their NiMH chargers have flip-out prongs that plug directly into the wall, no additional cord required. A cord is just one more thing to haul around and lose.

it was great. i lost the one that came with my camera, it was great to be able to find a replacement quickly.
Rating: - Nikon Charger for the EN-EL9
This is the standard charger that Nikon sells for use with the D40's EN-EL9 battery. The title incorrectly shows it is for charging the EN-EL5. That battery will NOT work with this charger -- the contacts won't line up.
If you do need it for the EN-EL9, it works very well. I'd appreciate a shorter power cord for travel use, but it is detachable so you can switch it out.
