Third-party batteries for D70

yutitan · 21st September 2004

Hi. Has anyone used third-party batteries for their D70? Any issues?

Thanks.

For mine, the # of shots per charge is much lower compared to original battery....but it can be a economical backup, considering that it is approx 1/3 of the price of the original

hahahaha something like that...proportional to the price I paid

Really "yi fen qian, yi fen huo".....Anyway for me, its a backup battery, enough for abt 200-300 shots enough liow.

The 3rd party batt is from eastgear.

I'll be using the 2nd battery primarily as a backup, in case the main battery goes flat while out on a shoot during the day.
