Digital Nc Ultra-High Capacity Intelligent Lithium-Ion Battery

Our review of the Digital Nc Ultra-High Capacity 'Intelligent' Lithium-Ion Battery for Nikon D6 finds it best suited to photographers who need extended run time and reliable camera communication without paying OEM prices. The single biggest reason to buy is straightforward: it packs a high 3800 mAh capacity into the EN-EL18D form factor while keeping the camera's battery meter working thanks to an integrated microchip, so users get both long shooting sessions and accurate charge reporting. For those who value durability and the reassurance of a three year replacement warranty, this battery is a practical alternative to factory packs.

Key Features

• Ultra High Capacity: The 3800 mAh rating delivers significantly longer shooting time, allowing extended still or video sessions without frequent battery swaps.
• Intelligent microchip: The built-in information chip communicates with the camera and charger so remaining run time displays on the LCD for predictable power management.
• Lithium-Ion chemistry: No memory loss means the battery can be topped up at any time without degrading usable capacity over normal cycles.
• Charger compatibility: It is designed to work with the original charger and camera charging routines, avoiding the need for special charging equipment.
• Battery life protection: The integrated microchip helps prevent overcharging and supports longer overall battery life through controlled communication with chargers.
• Three year replacement warranty: The included warranty provides extra peace of mind for professional use and travel.

Who It's For

This battery is aimed at event, wedding and wildlife photographers, and videographers who use the Nikon D6 and need extended on-camera runtime. The long 3800 mAh capacity and the information chip mean it is particularly useful when planning long shoots or when running power-hungry features like live view or extensive video recording.

It is less suited to users who insist on factory-branded batteries for warranty or branding reasons, or those who need extreme weather certifications not specified in the product information. Casual users who rarely shoot for long stretches may find standard capacity packs adequate.
