Wasabi Power Battery (2-Pack) for Nikon EN-EL18 - Longer Runtime

Our review of the Wasabi Power Battery (2-Pack) for Nikon EN-EL18 finds it best suited to photographers who need reliable backup power for pro-level Nikon bodies. These batteries replace the Nikon EN-EL18 and deliver a clear, practical benefit: extended runtime from higher-capacity Grade-A cells so shooters can work longer between charges. For anyone using D4, D4S, D5, D6, D500 or D850 (with grips/adapters), this pack is a straightforward way to carry two full-capacity spares that are compatible with the original Nikon charger and gear.

Key Features

• Compatibility: Works with Nikon cameras that use EN-EL18 batteries including D4, D4S, D5, D6 and supports D500 and D850 when used with the appropriate adapters or grips.
• Higher Capacity Cells: Contains Premium Grade-A cells rated at 10.8V and 2800mAh to provide longer run-time between charges for extended shooting sessions.
• Charger Compatibility: These batteries are compatible with Nikon original chargers so users do not need a separate charging solution.
• Two-Pack Convenience: Includes two batteries so photographers have immediate spares for travel, events, or long shoots without hunting for replacements.
• US Warranty and Support: Ships with a 3-year manufacturer warranty and 100% US based customer support in Pomona, California for peace of mind.

Who It's For

Photographers who shoot weddings, events, sports, or extended location work with Nikon pro bodies will appreciate the extra runtime and the convenience of having two ready batteries. The pack is especially useful for users of D4, D4S, D5 and D6 bodies and for D500 and D850 owners who use battery grips or adapters.

Not every amateur needs a two-pack of EN-EL18 replacements; casual shooters with entry-level bodies or those who rarely shoot long assignments should look at lower-capacity alternatives tailored to their camera model instead of these higher-capacity pro-oriented replacements.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Higher 2800mAh capacity provides noticeably longer runtime compared with some older replacements.
• Works with Nikon original chargers and camera bodies for seamless integration.
• Two batteries included mean one can remain charging while the other is in use, reducing downtime.
• Backed by a 3-year US manufacturer warranty and local customer support.

Cons

• Compatibility with D500 and D850 requires the camera owner to have or buy adapters/grips; not direct-fit for those bodies without accessories.
