i got a d90 camera. if u put the two en-el3e batt together in the mb-d80 grip does it function both at the same time?

They do not function simultaneously. The camera operates off of the battery on the right. Once it is depleted, the battery on the left takes over. In order to get maximum life out of my batteries, I rotate them through the right slot. When one is fully depleted, it is charged and then is installed on the left. I hope this helps.

When using the grip with both batteries, you can go into your settings menu and select battery. When you do, it shows the percentage of charge left on the battery as well as the health of the battery. This is true with all the Nikon cameras that I have owned. I have battery grips for the D90, D700, and D800. I am a professional photographer and can tell you with 100% certainty that this is true. I check the levels of my batteries frequently as its important for me to know how long I have for a given shoot. You will see the battery on the left drop slightly, but that is only because it uses a small amount of life for the camera to keep track of it.

I so far I have not had any issues. The grip is very sturdy and have not had it off the D800 since the day i received it, weather using it hand held or tripod mounted. This battery grip will not hold the large battery that fits in the D3x.

Very good question and I wish I asked that before i purchased. Initially, both batteries worked in my "D3200" but after a few uses now only 1 works. Spend the extra $ andget the Nikon batteries...

For the D7000, the Meike AA cartridge must contain all six batteries. Two and four will not work. For the D800, which uses eight AA, the results are the same. I do not know what if the same is true for the respective Nikon grips.

You cannot use both at the same time The problem that I am experiencing is that the battery grip doesn't make connections any more. Even though it's on tight there is no power reaching the camera. That's what I sm experiencing right now

Wow... I'm not sure. I've not had any problems with mine. I have one original nikon battery and one enel14 made by digipower. I would try attaching the grip first, then sliding in the battery tray. Or if you've already tried that.... Load the grip with the batteries, then attach the grip to camera. Does the "AA" tray work? If not, could be a bad grip. Hope this helps... Please do let me know. I'll be doing some research in the mean time.....

It looks like it is, based on this item which has a similar appearance: Insten EN-EL3e Battery Charger Compatible with Nikon D70 D80 D90 D100 D200Seems like the plug tucks away for easier storage. Hope that helps!

Works perfectly with D800 and should be the same for the 800e. Identical interface!

The Nikon MB-D15 grip holds one EN-EL15 battery. The one that's in the camera stays in the camera. In the setup menu, you can specify which battery you want to use first. Or course the MB-D15 also comes with a battery carrier that will hold 6 AA size batteries. Again, you need to tell the camera what type of AA batteries you are using, in the setup menu.

I used the sb910 9very similar to sb900) on the Nikon D800 very successfully. I can only assume that these similar items will also work together. Why wouldn't the D800e work as well as the D800 on this speedlight? I recommend checking with Nikonusa.com website.

It works fabulously with my D800, so it will work with your E model, no problem. When you get it, be sure to hold the power on switch for three seconds or so to turn it on. That got me at first - thought I got a broken unit. I used a Vivitar remote for a while, but it just was made so poorly that it slowly disintegrated until it no longer is useful. The Vello FreeWave has been working flawlessly for me for a couple months without changing the batteries, too, and I use it practically every day.

I don't have any first hand knowledge of the D90, but Wikipedia says it should as long as it is the 'e' version:"Nikon EN-EL3e Lithium-Ion battery (EN-EL3 or EN-EL3a will not fit)"

This Grip has two slots, so you can run both. I found that if the camera is powered off, batteries installed, then power on everything works like factory. The "Jumper" wire provided only enables the shutter button on the grip body. I don't use it as I don't like the side ports exposed.

If you are referring to if both batteries register in the camera, then yes, they both register in the camera.

This worked fine on the D90 except you have to take it off to change the battery. I have a small hand and was able to adjust it to fit. I decided not to use it any more because with it I always had to have the camera in hand and decided a neck strap (actually, I use a shoulder strap) worked better for the way I shoot. It's a nice piece of equipment if it works for you.

You can put 2 batteries on the grip but The grip use one battery at the time and when this battery is power empty the grip uses the other battery. The grip has no switch. The grip is functional with 1 battery if you want. I have big hands and the grip is perfect to have my camera in my hands, ita feel better holding the camera with the grip on. You need a charger for each battery if you want to charge the 2 batteries at the same time. I charge one first and then the other because i have just one charger.

I've never tried both at the same time, but as fast as it is sequentially won't take long. My husband shoots with a D3 Nikon and it only takes a couple of minutes at most to upload 900 pictures. I really like using it as the speed is triple the others I have used.
