Are the Nikon ENEL3 and ENEL3a batteries interchangeable? My dealer sold me the ENEL3 as a spare, but the camera came with the ENEL3a battery.

Hi Richard,

Both batteries will work in your camera. The ENEL3a is a 1500mAh battery, while the ENEL3 is "only" a 1400mAh cell. This means that the 3a will have a slightly longer charge life.

You should also be aware that Nikon has issued a recall on the ENEL3 battery. You can get information on this recall here.

Good luck!
