This is the standard charger that Nikon sells for use with the D40's EN-EL9 battery. The title incorrectly shows it is for charging the EN-EL5. That battery will NOT work with this charger -- the contacts won't line up.
If you do need it for the EN-EL9, it works very well. I'd appreciate a shorter power cord for travel use, but it is detachable so you can switch it out. Nikon MH-23 Quick Charger for EN-EL9 Li-ion Battery
Product works as advertised, but I don't understand why they designed it to need a separate power cord. Canon got it right, their NiMH chargers have flip-out prongs that plug directly into the wall, no additional cord required. A cord is just one more thing to haul around and lose.
This charger does work for both 110 and 240 voltage. There are two spots on the charger where it lists the accepted input. The primary one only says 110V as another reviewer noted, but if you look below in very tiny text it says accepted international input is both 110V and 240V. There should be no trouble using this outside of the US.
I received my charger exactly as advertised, I only wish that the included power cord was also in the picture or mentioned somewhere in the description, as I bought an extra power cord thinking that there was not one with the charger unit. My mistake, I should have asked, but this would be a simple fix.
you do not need to buy the seperate cord for this since it comes with the charger. i bought the $3 cord but it could never hurt to have an extra one right? comes in manufacture box perfectly good to go and i am pleased with the speed of delivery and quality.
Check the camera blogs and you'll see complaint after complaint about this horrible, substandard product, a real low for usual Nikon quality. This product--specifically the contacts--breaks time after time within a few uses, Nikon knows it, but still puts out the same flawed product year after year. They changed the battery design the year later and got rid of this charger, leaving those of us with D90's holding the bag.
I bought a less that $10 supposedly OEM charger and found that although it looked like it, it was not. Did a return and got this puppy. Charges very quickly. It makes me question my need for a spare battery.'
