 Nikon has announced the latest addition to their DSLR range with the D80. With a 10.2 Megapixel sensor and a great kit lens, this looks like it will become a popular choice among digital camera enthusiasts.
An option to extend the battery life of the Nikon D80 is the MB-D80 Battery Pack/Vertical grip as shown in the photos. This will hold two of the Nikon EN-EL3e batteries, or six AA batteries.
The EN-EL3e is the same battery as used in the D200. Note that the EN-EL3 (as used in the D70) cannot be used in the Nikon D80 or D200.
 The En-EL3e battery provides 1500 mAh at 7.4 V (11.1 Wh), so a pair would provide 3000mAh at 7.4V.
Maha PowerEx AA batteries are compatible with the Nikon MB-D80. Six of our 2700mAh AA batteries would provide 2700mAH at 7.2V, and thus provide a nearly the same amount of battery power, but cost substantially less than one EN-EL3e battery.
It is reported that a single D80 battery will provide 2,700 shots, so the battery pack with 6x 2700mAh AA batteries should provide the camera with enough power to take around 4,860 photos off a single set of batteries, whether they are EN-EL3e or rechargeable AA’s.
