Hi all,

I would like to know how long does the Coolpix 5700 last with battery pack MB5700. I will use six 1800mAh GP NiMH batteries for the pack.

Ronald :)

I put the "grip" on mine and have not taken it off. All weekend of taking pictures with no worry about running out of power. It is the way to go.

For the EN-EL1, its capacity is only about 700aMh and last 1.5 hours. Therefore, if six 1800aMh batteries are used, (1800 x 6 / 700) x 1.5 = 23 hours. Is this calculation right?

It doesn't quite work that way. The EN-EL1 is a 7.4 volt (v) battery with a .650 Amp hour (Ah) capacity. That translates into 4.81 Watt hour (Wh). The NiMH AA battery you mentioned is a 1.2v battery with a 1.8Ah capacity. That translates into 2.16Wh times six batteries for a total of 12.96Wh. That's almost three times better. You would get even more impressive numbers if you used the Kodak 1850mA NiMH battery.

Hi

I have been using the powerex 1800 by Maha and have been more than pleased with, they last for days. I believe I read that the Kodak is the top rated battery out there but the powerex are right up there with them. I bought my from mahaenergy.com for $14.+ and very fast shipping.
