Nikon Camera Battery Compatibility Chart, Model by Model

Not sure which battery fits your Nikon camera? Even similar models like the Z9 and Z8 don’t share batteries — these charts sort out exactly which model you need, plus what to know about third-party options.

Battery finder: Which battery does your Nikon camera take?

Which battery does your Nikon take?

Start typing your camera model. The battery and charger appear below, with links to buy.

At some point, you’re going to need a new battery or spares for your camera.

Lithium batteries do degrade, which is why some cameras even have battery health check features built-in.

And a full day of shooting can deplete the charge quite quickly; mirrorless cameras tend to be especially power-hungry. So carrying spares is always a good idea so your camera doesn’t die just when you want to keep shooting.

But keeping track of which battery model is right for your camera isn’t as straightforward as it could be. The Z9 and Z8, for example, share many similarities, but their batteries aren’t among them: the Z9 takes the big EN-EL18d, while the Z8 uses the much smaller EN-EL15c.

Which is why I’ve created these charts: in the hope it makes it easier to get the right battery for your camera and get out shooting more quickly.

COOLPIX W100	EN-EL19 Also at: Amazon	—	One EN-EL19 lithium-ion pack, supplied with the camera. Charges in-camera from the EH-73P charging AC adapter, about 1 hr 40 min from empty. The EH-62G AC adapter is available separately. Nikon rates it at about 220 shots per charge.
Coolpix A	EN-EL20 Also at: Amazon	MH-27 In box	Predates Nikon's in-camera USB charging — the MH-27 desktop charger for its EN-EL20 battery comes in the box. No charging AC adapter is supplied.
P1000	EN-EL20a Also at: Amazon	MH-29 Sold separately	Charges in-camera via the bundled EH-73P Charging AC Adapter and UC-E21 USB cable; Some regions get the EH-73PCH instead. There's no separate battery charger in the box, and the MH-29 cradle is an optional extra.
P1100	EN-EL20a Also at: Amazon	—	Ships with a USB cable but no AC adapter and no charger, so the battery charges in-camera. Charging from a USB-PD wall adapter needs a 15 W or better unit and a separate USB-C-to-USB-C cable, though the supplied cable will charge from a computer.
P7700	EN-EL14 Also at: Amazon	MH-24 In box	Uses the DSLR-style EN-EL14 pack, and the MH-24 plug-in charger comes in the box. There is no in-camera USB charging, so the battery has to come out to charge.
P7800	EN-EL14 Also at: Amazon	MH-24 In box	Takes the same EN-EL14 battery and bundled MH-24 charger as the P7700. Like that camera it will not charge over USB, so charging happens outside the body.
P900	EN-EL23 Also at: Amazon	MH-67P Sold separately	Charges in-camera via a bundled Charging AC Adapter — an EH-71P or EH-73P depending on where and when it was bought — plus the UC-E21 cable. The MH-67P, which charges the battery outside the camera, is an optional extra.
P950	EN-EL20a Also at: Amazon	MH-29 Sold separately	Charges in-camera via a bundled EH-73P (or EH-73PCH) Charging AC Adapter and UC-E21 cable, with no standalone charger in the box. Note that the older EN-EL20 will not work in it — this camera needs the EN-EL20a.
W150	EN-EL19 Also at: Amazon	MH-66 Sold separately	Takes the smaller EN-EL19 rather than the EN-EL12 used in Nikon's pricier compacts, and charges in-camera from the supplied EH-73P adapter. Nikon's MH-66 external charger is an optional accessory, not part of the kit.
W300	EN-EL12 Also at: Amazon	MH-65 Sold separately	Charges in-camera via the supplied EH-73P charging AC adapter and UC-E21 USB cable. The box adds a brush for cleaning the waterproof seal, but no external charger.

Camera	Battery	Notes
35Ti	1× CR123A Also at: Amazon	Manual: “Power source — 3V lithium battery (DL123A or CR123A type)”, one cell.
AF240SV	2× AA Also at: Amazon	Manual: “Install two AA type alkaline-manganese batteries with the + and - poles oriented as shown inside the battery chamber.”
AW 35	2× AA Also at: Amazon	Manual (German edition): “Stromquellen: Zwei 1,5-V-Alkali-Mangan-Batterien des Typs AA” — two 1.5V AA alkaline-manganese cells. The data-back version carries a separate CR2025 for the imprint, which is not the camera's power source.
Action Touch	2× AA Also at: Amazon	Manual: “Power source — Two 1.5V alkaline-manganese AA type batteries (NiCd batteries cannot be used).” The weatherproof/underwater-capable compact.
Fun-Touch 2	2× AA Also at: Amazon	Manual: two new AA alkaline cells.
L35 AF	2× AA Also at: Amazon	Manual: two AA-type alkaline-manganese cells; Nikon notes “NiCd batteries cannot be used.” Data-back versions take a separate CR2025 for the imprint, which is not the camera's power source.
L35 AW	2× AA Also at: Amazon	Two AA alkaline cells; Nikon says NiCd cells aren't suitable.
L35 AW AD	2× AA (+ CR2025 for the date) Also at: Amazon	Two AA cells run the camera; a separate CR2025 lithium cell runs only the date imprint.
Lite Touch Zoom 120ED	1× CR123A (3V lithium) Also at: Amazon	Manual: “Power source — One 3V lithium battery (CR123A type or DL123A).” The built-in clock runs from the same cell as the camera body.
Nikkorex 35 II	None	No battery — the meter is photoelectric, Nikon's word for selenium, which makes its own current from the light falling on it. Nothing to buy and nothing to go flat.
Nikkorex Auto 35	None	No battery — the built-in meter is the self-powered selenium type, which generates its own current from light. Nothing to buy and nothing to go flat. Worth knowing that selenium cells do fade with age and light exposure, so a dim or dead meter on one of these is usually the cell itself rather than a fault you can fix with a battery.
Nuvis 200	1× CR2 (3V lithium) Also at: Amazon	One 3V CR2 lithium cell.
Nuvis S2000	1× CR2 (3V lithium) Also at: Amazon	Manual: “Install one 3V lithium battery” — a CR2, fitted inside the battery chamber as shown. An APS camera, not 35mm.
One Touch 200	2× AA Also at: Amazon	Two 1.5V AA alkaline-manganese cells.
TW Zoom	1× CR-P2 (6V lithium) Also at: Amazon	Manual (German edition): 6V lithium pack, “Duracell DL 223A 6V oder Panasonic CR-P2 6V”.
TW20	Not established — see notes	I can't confirm this one. Nikon's manual just says “install lithium battery pack” and never names it. Nikon's compacts of this period used either a 6V CR-P2 or a 3V CR123A, so it is almost certainly one of those two — but they are different shapes and I'm not going to guess which. The battery compartment will be marked; check there before buying.
Tele Touch 300	1× CR-P2 (6V lithium) Also at: Amazon	Manual: “Power Source: Lithium battery pack (Duracell DL223A or Panasonic CR-P2 6V).”
Tele-Touch	2× AA Also at: Amazon	Manual: “Power Source — Two AA-type Alkaline-Manganese batteries and CR2025 (Lithium) battery for LCD Memory.” The CR2025 backs up the display memory only; The AAs run the camera.
Zoom 310	1× CR123A (3V lithium) Also at: Amazon	Manual: “Install one 3V lithium battery (DL123A or CR123A type).”
Zoom Touch 105	2× CR123A (3V lithium) Also at: Amazon	Manual: “Power source — Two 3V lithium batteries (DL123A or CR123A type).”
Zoom Touch 150	Not established — see notes	I can't confirm this one. I've not been able to find a Zoom Touch 150 manual — the one usually filed under that name turns out to cover a different camera, the Lite Touch Zoom 120ED. Check inside your battery door, and tell me what it says if you'd like it added.
Zoom Touch 470	1× CR123A (3V lithium) Also at: Amazon	Manual: one 3V lithium cell, DL123A or CR123A type.
Zoom Touch 500	1× CR-P2 (6V lithium) Also at: Amazon	Manual: “Power Source — Lithium battery pack (Duracell DL223A 6V or Panasonic CR-P2).”
Zoom Touch 800	1× CR-P2 (6V lithium) Also at: Amazon	Manual: “Install one 6V lithium battery pack (Duracell DL223A or Panasonic CR-P2).” The data-imprint function uses separate CR2025 cells, which are not the camera's power source.

D5600	EN-EL14a Also at: Amazon	MH-24 In box	Nikon USA spec lists the EN-EL14a only — unlike the Df/D5500, there is no "or EN-EL14" dual listing for this body. No USB in-camera charging.
D6	EN-EL18c Also at: Amazon	MH-26a In box	MH-26a dual charger included. Nikon spec: 'One EN-EL18c Rechargeable Li-ion Battery; EN-EL18b/EN-EL18a/EN-EL18 batteries can also be used.'
D60	EN-EL9 Also at: Amazon	—	One EN-EL9, supplied with the camera.
D600	EN-EL15 (original) Also supported: newer EN-EL15b — Nikon-confirmed Also at: Amazon	MH-25 In box	Nikon also lists the EN-EL15a for it — but not the newest EN-EL15c, which Nikon does list for the near-identical D610.
D610	EN-EL15 (original) Also supported: newer EN-EL15c — Nikon-confirmed Also at: Amazon	MH-25 In box	Nikon also lists the in-between EN-EL15b and EN-EL15a for it.
D70	EN-EL3 Also at: Amazon	—	One EN-EL3 with the MH-18 charger. Nikon also lists an alternative that is easy to miss: three CR2 lithium cells in the MS-D70 CR2 holder, which drops into the battery compartment.
D700	EN-EL3e Also at: Amazon	—	One EN-EL3e. The optional MB-D10 grip takes an EN-EL4a/EN-EL4 or AA cells instead. Fitting an EN-EL4a or EN-EL4 in the MB-D10 grip needs the optional BL-3 battery-chamber cover.
D7000	EN-EL15 Also at: Amazon	—	One EN-EL15. The optional MB-D11 grip takes an EN-EL15 or AA cells.
D70s	EN-EL3a or EN-EL3 Also at: Amazon	—	Nikon lists the EN-EL3a or EN-EL3, charged by the MH-18a or MH-19. Three CR2 lithium cells in the MS-D70 holder are also listed as an alternative.
D7100	EN-EL15 (original) Also supported: newer EN-EL15b — Nikon-confirmed Also at: Amazon	MH-25 In box	Nikon does not list the newer EN-EL15b or EN-EL15c for the D7100 (unlike the D7200), so stick with the EN-EL15.
D7200	EN-EL15 (original) Also supported: newer EN-EL15c — Nikon-confirmed Also at: Amazon	MH-25a In box	No in-camera USB charging — the EN-EL15c works in the body but has to be charged in the MH-25a. Nikon also lists the EN-EL15b for it.

D780	EN-EL15b (original) Also supported: newer EN-EL15c — Nikon-confirmed Also at: Amazon	MH-25a In box	MH-25a charger bundled. In-camera USB charging (via the optional EH-7P adapter) works with the EN-EL15b only. In practice a third-party USB-C source does the same job, with two catches: it must be a genuinely high-output PD-class charger or power bank, and the cable must be rated for charging, not just data — weak sources and the wrong cable simply do nothing, with no error.
D80	EN-EL3e Also at: Amazon	—	One EN-EL3e, 7.4V, with the MH-18a charger. The optional MB-D80 grip takes EN-EL3e packs or AA cells.

SLR (film)

Camera	Battery	Notes
EM	2× SR44 (or LR44) Also at: Amazon	Manual: “Meter power source — Two 1.5V silver-oxide batteries (S-76 type)”; S-76 is the SR44. Two cells run the meter and the electronically timed shutter. With a dead battery, switch to M90 for a mechanical 1/90 sec backup (B also works).
F	1× PX625 (mercury) Also at: Amazon	The body is meterless and fully mechanical, so it needs no battery at all. A single 1.35V mercury cell in the optional Photomic metering finder ran the meter, and modern 1.5V replacements throw its readings off. The working fixes today: a Wein MRB625 zinc-air cell drops in at the correct 1.35V (short life once its seal is pulled), a C.R.I.S. MR-9 adapter converts cheap modern silver-oxide cells permanently, or skip the meter and use a phone app — the shutter doesn’t need the battery.
F-401x / N5005	4× AA Also at: Amazon	Manual: “Power source — Four AA-type batteries.” The Quartz Date back carries its own 3V CR2025, which is not the camera's power source.
F-501 AF / N2020	4× AAA Also at: Amazon	Manual: “Install four AAA-type” cells in the MB-4 battery holder. Nikon notes the holder is “interchangeable with Nikon AA Battery” holder, so an AA holder is an alternative.
F-601 AF / N6006	1× CR-P2 (6V lithium) Also at: Amazon	Manual: “Insert 6V lithium battery pack (Duracell DL-223A or CR-P2 type)”. NOT the 2CR5 that several other 6V-lithium Nikons use — the CR-P2 is a different shape and the two are not interchangeable.
F-601M / N6000	1× CR-P2 (6V lithium) Also at: Amazon	Manual: “Power source — 6V lithium battery pack (Duracell DL-223A / Panasonic CR-P2 or equivalent).” The manual-focus sibling of the F-601.
F-801 / N8008	4× AA Also at: Amazon	Manual: “Power source — Four AA-type batteries”, held in the MS-7 battery holder.
F-801s / N8008s	4× AA Also at: Amazon	Manual: “Remove battery holder, install four AA-type batteries.”
F100	4× AA Also at: Amazon	Four AA cells in the supplied MS-12 holder run everything, and the shutter stops firing once they are flat. The optional MS-13 holder takes two CR123A lithium cells instead, and the MB-15 grip takes six AAs or an MN-15 rechargeable pack.
F2	2× SR44 (1.5V silver oxide) Also at: Amazon	Manual: “The exposure meter in the Photomic finder is powered by two 1.5V silver-oxide batteries which are supplied with the camera.” The F2 body is fully mechanical and needs no battery at all — every shutter speed fires with the cells dead or removed. The two cells sit in the metering FINDER and run the meter only.
F2A	2× SR44 (1.5V silver oxide) Also at: Amazon	Manual: “The F2A Photomic Finder DP-11 is powered by two high-performance silver-oxide batteries.” The F2 body is fully mechanical and needs no battery at all — every shutter speed fires with the cells dead or removed. The two cells sit in the metering FINDER and run the meter only.
F2AS	2× SR44 (1.5V silver oxide) Also at: Amazon	Manual: “The exposure meter in the Photomic finder is powered by two high-performance silver-oxide batteries.” The F2 body is fully mechanical and needs no battery at all — every shutter speed fires with the cells dead or removed. The two cells sit in the metering FINDER and run the meter only.
F2S	2× SR44 (1.5V silver oxide) Also at: Amazon	Manual: the meter is powered by “two 1.5V silver-oxide batteries which are supplied with the camera.” The F2 body is fully mechanical and needs no battery at all — every shutter speed fires with the cells dead or removed. The two cells sit in the metering FINDER and run the meter only.
F2SB	2× SR44 (1.5V silver oxide) Also at: Amazon	Manual: the meter is powered “by two high-performance silver-oxide batteries” — this is the finder with LED exposure indicators (DP-3). The F2 body is fully mechanical and needs no battery at all — every shutter speed fires with the cells dead or removed. The two cells sit in the metering FINDER and run the meter only.
F3 (and F3HP)	2× SR44 (silver-oxide) Also at: Amazon	Meter and the automatic speeds are electronic, but 1/60s and T are mechanically timed and fire with a dead battery using the small backup release lever. Nikon added that fail-safe because silver-oxide cells were hard to buy in some countries.
F3/T	2× SR44 (EPX76), or 1× 3V lithium Also at: Amazon	Manual: batteries “(Eveready EPX76 or equivalent) will last for about one year”, or one 3V lithium battery. The titanium F3 — same electronics and same cells as the standard F3. The shutter is electronically controlled, with a mechanical 1/60 backup.
F4	4× AA Also at: Amazon	Four AA cells in the MB-20 pack: Nikon's manual says “Install four AA-type alkaline-manganese batteries.” The MB-20 is not an optional grip — it is how the camera is powered, and the F4 is fully electronic with no mechanical backup speed. One catch worth knowing: Nikon warns that “batteries with a ‘+’ terminal that exceeds 6mm in diameter cannot be used.”
F4E	AA — count not stated Also at: Amazon	The F4E is the F4 fitted with the larger MB-23 pack. Nikon says that pack takes AA alkaline cells in its MS-23 tray, or the rechargeable MN-20 NiCd unit — but nowhere in the F4/F4S manual do they say how many cells the tray holds, so that number isn't in the chart. The F4 takes four and the F4S six, if that helps you judge.
F4S	6× AA Also at: Amazon	Six AA cells in the MB-21 High Speed Battery Pack — three in the grip portion and three in the bottom. There is a step here that catches people out, and Nikon spells it out: “Install three AA-type alkaline-manganese or NiCd batteries with terminals positioned as shown inside grip. Then set the battery selector inside grip to ‘LR6’ for alkaline-manganese batteries, or to ‘Ni-Cd’ for NiCd batteries.” The selector has to match what you loaded — the camera does not detect it. Nikon notes AA alkaline-manganese give the best overall performance around 20°C, including faster advance rates. Same body as the F4; the pack buys the speed.
F5	8× AA Also at: Amazon	Nikon's specification: the supplied MS-30 holder takes eight AA cells, alkaline or lithium; The MN-30 nickel-metal-hydride pack is an alternative, sold separately. Nikon's own life figures show how much the chemistry matters: about 25 rolls on AA alkaline against about 50 on AA lithium at 20°C, and about 2 rolls against about 25 at -10°C.
F50 / N50	1× 2CR5 (6V lithium) Also at: Amazon	Manual: “Power source — 6V lithium battery pack (2CR5 or DL245 type)”. The Quartz Date version carries a separate 3V CR2025 for the imprinting, which is not the camera's power source.
F55 / N55	2× CR2 (3V lithium) Also at: Amazon	Nikon's manual: the camera is designed for two 3V CR2 lithium cells. The same arrangement as the F65 and F75. The four-AA line elsewhere in the manual belongs to the SB-28 and SB-27 speedlights, not the camera.
F55 / N55 (F55D)	2× CR2 (3V lithium) Also at: Amazon	Manual: “Die Kamera ist für zwei Lithium-Batterien 3 V vom Typ CR2 konstruiert” — the camera is designed for two 3V CR2 lithium cells. The same family as the F65 and F75.
F6	2× CR123A Also at: Amazon	Two 3V CR123A lithium cells sit in the supplied MS-41 holder; When they die the shutter stops firing, and there is no mechanical speed to fall back on. The optional MB-40 grip runs the camera on eight AA cells or an EN-EL4a rechargeable pack instead.
F60 / N60	2× CR123A Also at: Amazon	Manual: “Use two CR123A or DL123A-type lithium batteries with this camera.” Date imprinting on the QD version needs one CR2025 “separate from the batteries required for the camera body”.
F65 / N65	2× CR2 (3V lithium) Also at: Amazon	Manual: “Use two CR2-type 3V lithium batteries.” Date imprinting on the F65D needs a separate CR2025, which is not the body's power source.
F70 / N70	2× CR123A Also at: Amazon	Manual: “Insert two CR123A lithium batteries.” Nikon warns that with weak cells the camera's microcomputer may shut it off even when the batteries are correctly installed.
F75 / N75	2× CR2 (3V lithium) Also at: Amazon	Manual: “Use two CR2-type 3V lithium batteries.”
F80 / N80	2× CR123A (or DL123A) Also at: Amazon	Two 3V CR123A lithium cells power the whole camera, and the shutter stops firing once they are flat. The optional MB-16 pack runs it on four AA cells instead.
F90 / N90	4× AA Also at: Amazon	Manual: “Power source — Four AA-type batteries”; Nikon specifies alkaline-manganese, NiCd or high-performance types in the MS-8 holder.
F90S / N90s	4× AA Also at: Amazon	Four AA cells run the shutter, meter and autofocus, and the camera will not fire without them. There is no mechanical backup speed. The optional MB-10 Multi-Power Vertical Grip carries its own CR123A-type lithium cell — that is the grip's, not the body's.
FA	2× SR44 (or LR44), or 1× CR1/3N Also at: Amazon	Electronically timed across its whole range, but a mechanical 1/250s backup (marked M250) fires with no battery; The meter and every other speed need power.
FE	2× SR44 (silver-oxide) Also at: Amazon	Electronic shutter and meter, but the M90 setting fires a mechanical 1/90s and B is mechanical too, so the camera still shoots with a dead battery.
FE10	2× SR44 (or LR44), or 1× CR-1/3N Also at: Amazon	Manual: “Use two alkaline batteries (LR44), two silver batteries (SR44) or one lithium battery (CR-1/3N).” One of the few Nikon film manuals that names designations outright rather than chemistry alone.
FE2	2× SR44 (or LR44), or 1× CR1/3N Also at: Amazon	Electronic shutter throughout, but a mechanical 1/250s backup - also its fastest flash-sync speed - fires with no battery at all.
FG	1× CR-1/3N lithium, or 2× SR44, or 2× LR44 Also at: Amazon	Manual gives three options: one 3V lithium, two 1.55V silver-oxide, or two 1.5V alkaline-manganese.
FG-20	1× CR-1/3N lithium, or 2× SR44 Also at: Amazon	Manual: one 3V lithium (CR-1/3N) or two 1.55V silver-oxide (SR44).
FM	2× SR44 (or LR44) Also at: Amazon	Meter only; The shutter is fully mechanical, so the camera shoots fine with the battery dead or missing.
FM10	2× SR44 (or LR44), or 1× CR-1/3N (original) Also supported: CR1/3N — Nikon-confirmed Also at: Amazon	Nikon's specification: two 1.5V LR44 alkaline cells, one CR-1/3N lithium cell, or two SR44 silver-oxide cells. Meter only; The shutter is mechanically controlled, so it fires with the battery dead or missing.
FM2	2× SR44 (or LR44), or 1× CR1/3N Also at: Amazon	Meter only; The shutter is fully mechanical, so the camera shoots fine with the battery dead or missing.
FM2n	2× SR44 (or LR44), or 1× CR1/3N Also at: Amazon	Meter only; The shutter is fully mechanical, so the camera shoots fine with the battery dead or missing.
FM3A	2× SR44 (or LR44), or 1× CR-1/3N (original) Also supported: CR1/3N — Nikon-confirmed Also at: Amazon	Manual: “Three types of batteries can be used with this camera: 1) One 3V lithium battery (CR-1/3N type) 2) Two 1.55V silver-oxide batteries (SR44 type) 3) Two 1.5V alkaline batteries (LR44 type).” The hybrid shutter runs mechanically for Bulb and the full 1–1/4000 sec. Manual range, so the camera still shoots with a dead cell; The battery powers the meter and aperture-priority auto exposure.
N2000 / F-301	4× AAA Also at: Amazon	Four AAA cells in the standard MB-4 holder; the optional MB-3 holder takes four AA cells instead.
N4004 / F-401	4× AA Also at: Amazon	Manual: “Install four fresh AA-type batteries.”
Nikkorex F	None	The body carries no meter and no battery. Nikon's manual describes the exposure meter as a separate accessory: “The Exposure Meter for the Nikkorex-F is designed to be attached onto the top of the camera and to couple to the camera's shutter speed dial.” No battery of any kind is specified anywhere in the manual.
Nikkormat EL	1× 4SR44 / 4LR44 (6V) Also at: Amazon	Manual: “The Nikkormat EL accepts either a 6-volt silver-oxide or alkaline-manganese battery,” powering both the meter and the electronically controlled shutter. Note the consequence: with the cell exhausted the shutter is mechanically fixed at 1/90 sec., so a flat battery costs you every other speed, not just the meter.
Nikkormat EL2	1× 4SR44 / 544 (6V silver oxide) Also at: Amazon	Manual: “The exposure measurement and shutter control circuits of the EL2 are powered by a single 6-volt (type 544) battery,” and the specification confirms “one 6V silver-oxide battery”. The 544 is the 4SR44 — this is the one Nikkormat that names a type rather than just the chemistry. Note the shutter is electronically controlled, so the cell runs the camera, not just the meter. Nikon's warning is worth heeding: if the battery goes in the wrong way round, “its energy will be depleted in a matter of minutes”.
Nikkormat ELW	1× 4SR44 (6V silver oxide) Also at: Amazon	Specification table: “Battery — One 6 V silver-oxide battery.” As on the EL, the shutter is electronically controlled and falls back to a mechanically fixed 1/90 sec. When the power source is exhausted.
Nikkormat FS	None	No meter and no battery anywhere in the camera. The meterless Nikkormat. Its specification table lists film, viewfinder, finder screen, mirror and shutter and stops there — there is no exposure meter and no battery anywhere in the camera. Fully mechanical.
Nikkormat FT	1× PX625 (mercury) Also at: Amazon	Manual's specification table: “Mercury battery 1.3 V is used.” Meter only — the shutter is fully mechanical, so the camera shoots with the cell dead or absent. Nikon names no part number; PX625 is the standard identification for the 1.3–1.35V mercury cell of this era. Mercury cells are banned and no longer made — see the mercury section for the modern substitutes.
Nikkormat FT2	1× SR44 (1.5V silver oxide) Also at: Amazon	Manual: “The exposure meter of the Nikkormat FT2 is powered by a single 1.5V silver-oxide battery,” housed in the chamber in the camera's baseplate. This is the model that moved the Nikkormat line off mercury. Meter only; The shutter is mechanical.
Nikkormat FT3	1× SR44 (1.5V silver oxide) Also at: Amazon	Manual: the meter “is powered by a single 1.5-volt silver-oxide battery located in the battery chamber on the camera baseplate.” Meter only; The shutter is mechanical, so it shoots with the cell dead.
Nikkormat FTn	1× PX625 (mercury) Also at: Amazon	Manual's specification table: “Mercury battery: 1.3 V”. Meter only — the shutter is fully mechanical. Nikon names no part number; PX625 is the standard identification for the 1.3–1.35V mercury cell of this era. Mercury cells are banned and no longer made — see the mercury section for the modern substitutes.
Nikonos I	None	No battery at all. The first Nikonos is fully mechanical with no meter — its specification table lists picture size, lens, shutter, viewfinder, film winding and flash sync, and never mentions a battery. Nikon's accessory list for it includes a “water-tight case for exposure meter”, which is how you metered. Nikon called this camera simply the Nikonos; the “I” came later, once there was a II to tell it apart from.
Nikonos II	None	No battery at all — the Nikonos II is fully mechanical, with no meter. Nikon's own suggestion was to carry a separate exposure meter “in a watertight case”. If you want a Nikonos with a meter built in, that starts with the IV-A.
Nikonos III	None	No battery at all. Like the I and II before it, the Nikonos III is fully mechanical with no meter — its features-and-specifications page runs from camera type through shutter, flash sync, viewfinder, frame counter and weight without a battery entry anywhere. The first Nikonos with a meter built in is the IV-A.
Nikonos IV-A	2× SR44 (1.55V silver oxide) Also at: Amazon	Manual: “Insert the two 1.55V silver-oxide batteries supplied with the camera.” The meter switches itself off about 20 seconds after you lift your finger off the shutter release, to conserve the cells.
Nikonos RS	1× CR-P2 (6V lithium) Also at: Amazon	Manual: “Power source — 6V lithium battery pack (DL223A or CR-P2 type).” The autofocus underwater SLR.
Nikonos V	2× SR44 (1.55V silver oxide) (original) Also supported: 1× CR-1/3N (3V lithium); 1× LR44 (1.5V alkaline) — Nikon-confirmed Also at: Amazon	Three ways to power it, and Nikon lists all three as equals: two 1.55V silver-oxide SR-44s, one 3V lithium CR-1/3N, or one 1.5V alkaline LR-44. The same chamber takes either the pair of buttons or the single tall cell. The SR-44 pair is the one worth stocking if you also shoot a Nikonos IV-A, which takes the same two cells. The battery runs the meter and the automatic shutter, not the film advance, so a flat battery doesn't strand you: set the dial to M90 and the camera fires mechanically at 1/90 sec. Nikon adds that on “A” with the battery exhausted the shutter still releases, at 1/1500 sec.
Pronea 6i	2× CR123A (3V lithium) Also at: Amazon	Specification page: “Power source: Two CR123A-type lithium batteries.” The APS SLR, sold as the Pronea 600i in some markets.
Pronea S	2× CR2 (3V lithium) Also at: Amazon	Manual: “Use two CR2-type lithium batteries with this camera.” An APS body, not 35mm.

Similar names, different cameras

Nikon sold most of its film bodies under two names — an N-number in the Americas and an F-number everywhere else — and the numbers don’t line up. The charts list both, so either name will find the row, but a few pairs are worth stating plainly because the batteries genuinely differ.

The N8008 / F-801 is not the N80 / F80. The N8008 takes four AA cells; the N80 takes two CR123A. And the N6006 / F-601 is not the F6 — the F-601 runs on a 6V CR-P2 pack, the F6 on two CR123A.

One more that surprises people: the Nikkormat EL, ELW and EL2 are electronically controlled, unlike every other Nikkormat. On the EL and ELW a flat battery leaves you a single mechanically fixed 1/90 sec., and on the EL2 the cell runs the shutter outright. The FT, FTn, FT2 and FT3 are the opposite — fully mechanical, where the battery only feeds the meter.

The ones I still can’t confirm

These are in the charts so you can find them, but with no battery recorded. In each case I have Nikon’s manual and Nikon simply doesn’t state it, and I’d rather say so than infer a figure from a similar model:

TW20 — the manual says only “lithium battery pack” and never says which
One Touch 200 — the only battery statement is a negative one, that NiCd AA and 3V lithium cells cannot be used
Nuvis 200, L35 AW and L35 AW AD — no battery specification anywhere in the manual
Zoom Touch 150 — the only manual filed under this name is actually the Lite Touch Zoom 120ED’s
F4E — Nikon names the MB-23’s tray and says it takes AA cells, but never how many

If you own one of these and its manual names the battery, send me the page and I’ll add it.

Third-party batteries for Nikon cameras

I’m focusing here on original Nikon-branded batteries because those are the ones that Nikon guarantees to work in their cameras.

But there’s also a whole universe of aftermarket batteries out there. They’re often significantly cheaper than the OEM versions. Sometimes they’re the only option that’s available in stock.

I’ve used many aftermarket batteries over the years in many different cameras and have found many of them to work well. I’ve also come across some that don’t. So I can’t give a blanket statement that you should or should not get third-party batteries. Because the reality is that some are better than others.

One thing worth knowing before you buy: some of Nikon’s recent bodies are much fussier about non-Nikon batteries than the older ones were. The Z8 and Z6III in particular check what’s in the battery compartment and will refuse some third-party EN-EL15c-type batteries outright, even ones that work fine in a Z6II. In some cameras, features like the battery health check might not be available. And it’s entirely possible for Nikon to clamp down even tighter in a future firmware update.

Here’s an example of the kind of warning screen you might see, in this case on by a Nikon Z8 with a third-party battery.

Nikon Z8 screen warning that an aftermarket battery can't provide data and cannot be used

There have since been other third-party batteries that are fully decoded and do work normally without the error — the SmallRig batteries are the specific ones I use. But you certainly can’t count on every third-party battery being fully compatible.

I’m not saying don’t buy them. I am saying that if you do decide to buy them, it’s worth doing so with your eyes open, because it’s very much a case of buyer beware.

In nearly all cases, the third-party batteries are listed on retailers’ sites using the original model numbers. So doing a search for those should surface any third-party alternatives that are available.
