On receipt of your application you will be sent a pre-paid postal packet in which to return your battery. When we receive your battery it will be inspected, verified and a replacement battery will posted to the address declared during registration. Your Nikon EN-EL3 battery will be replaced free of charge with a new EN-EL3a or a new EN-EL3e battery within approximately 5-10 working days of receipt. The EN-EL3a and the EN-EL3e may be freely substituted for the EN-EL3 in all cases. Please note that in the case of high demand, returns may take longer.
Meanwhile your precious Nikon DSLR will serve as a paperweight.

Mein Akku ist leider dabei... :-(
All das ganze dauert weil die gesammelten Akkus erst nach Dublin gehen...
Your "Check the Nikon support site" link is just a link back to this blog posting: http://vowe.net/archives/006504.html
Fixed a few minutes ago. I forgot to put in the link.
Thorsten, das dauert, weil Nikon nicht zuerst den neuen Akku verschickt, wie es z.B. Apple Mitte des Jahres getan hat.
Allerdings gibt es wohl einen EN-EL3a oder sogar e zurück, die beide leistungsfähiger sind.
Oliver, frage mich ob der Quickcharger von der D70 (MH-18) das mit den besseren Akkus auch genauso gut auflädt ?
Wenn nicht, kann Nikon gleich die nächste Umtauschaktion starten ;-) Nikon selbst gibt jedenfalls auf seinen Produktseiten das MH-18 als kompatibles Produkt an.
Ich mach mich jetzt erst mal auf zur "Bucht" und besorge mir ein NoName Akku, damit die Kamera nicht völlig stillgelegt ist...
Und dann rufe ich bei Nikon an :o)
Thanks alot for sharing!
Just got my replacement battery, its EN-EL3e version which has been released for D200 and can fire around 1800 shots which is 1300 more shots than my previous battery pack. Unlike Europe, one needs to collect it personally from the service center here in Singapore.
Offizielle Telefonnumer für Deutschland +49 (0) 69 9530 7386 - Resultat "Die gewählte Nummer ist nicht vergeben". Gestern hieß es noch "Rufen Sie innerhalb der Geschäftszeiten an". Anscheinend wollen ein paar mehr Leute den Akku tauschen...
