AlexC 0 Report post Posted June 15, 2010 A couple months ago I made a post here about how excited I was to finally have my first dslr. Well, a few weeks back, there was a rising water incident on a tailwater I fish and I killed my new dslr (d3000). The body is dead, but the lens and battery are still in good shape. Fast forward to today, and I got my second dslr, (a refurbished d60), which leads to my question. The battery that came with the d60-ordered from B&H- is a Nikon EN-EL9. The Battery I still have from the d3000 is a EN-EL9a. According to B&H's website, the 9a is compatible with the d60. However, looking at each battery, they have different specs. EN-EL9 7.4V 1000mAh EN-EL9a 7.2V 1080mAh Is the difference between the two a big deal? Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. Steelhead 0 Report post Posted June 16, 2010 Alex, According to Nikon the batteries are interchangable and there is no issue with using either in the D60. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
