The Battery and Charger
Read and follow the warnings and cautions on pages ii–iii and 127–128 of this manual, together with any
warnings and instructions provided by the battery manufacturer
. Use only EN-EL3e batteries. The D80
is not compatible with the MS-D70 CR2 battery holder or with EN-EL3 or EN-EL3a batteries for D100,
D70-series, or D50 cameras.
Do not use the battery at ambient temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F) or above 40 °C (104 °F). During
charging, the temperature should be in the vicinity of 5–35 °C (41–95 °F). For best results, charge the
battery at temperatures above 20 °C (68 °F). Battery capacity may drop if the battery is used at a tem-
perature below the temperature at which it was charged. If the battery is charged at a temperature be-
low 5 °C (41 °F), the battery life indicator in the
Battery Info
display may show a temporary decrease.
Removing the Battery
Turn the camera off before removing the battery. To avoid shorting the battery, replace the terminal
cover when the battery is not in use.
