I needed a back-up battery for my Nikon Coolpix A1000. Nikon's EN-EL12 battery has been on backorder for months and Nikon can't provide any information as to when they will be back in stock. In desperation I ordered an Everyready battery but that wouldn't take a charge. Based on favorable comments from Hoggers, I then ordered a Wasabi. After fully charging it, I took it for a test drive. After just 48 snaps, it was completely discharged. B&H carries two other brands: Jupio and Watson. Adaroma carries Green Extreme and Power 2000, as well as Jupio. Does anyone have any experience with any of these?

I have some Green Extreme and Wasabi batteries they work just fine. I purchased either from Adorama or B&H.

So then, the consensus is to use a charger that is specific to the brand of battery being used?


I use my Nikon charger to charge Vivitar and Watson batteries in addition to Nikon. Zero issues.

I've used Watson as back-up for years and no problem. I get mine through Thomas Distributing with super fast service.
