The Nikon D80 digital camera uses an EN-EL3e rechargeable battery pack. The battery pack is not charged when it leaves the factory, so you must charge it before installing it in your camera. When placed in the MH-18a charger, the EN-EL3e takes about 2.5 hours to reach a full-charge capacity. The charger includes a convenient indicator light to let you know when the charge is complete. Once the battery is fully charged, you can install it into the battery chamber on the bottom of the D80.
Instructions
1. Plug the battery charger into the wall socket using the included cable.
2. Remove the terminal cover from the battery if it is still in place.
3. Place the battery into the charger, flat-side down. The arrow on the battery should point towards the indicator light on the charger. Slide the battery toward the indicator light to begin charging.
4. Remove the battery from the charger when the indicator light stops blinking. Slide the battery away from the light and lift it out of the charger.
5. Open the battery chamber cover on the bottom of the D80 by sliding it away from the outside edge of the camera and then lifting it up.
6. Insert the battery pack into the battery chamber with the arrow pointing down into the chamber and the rounded edges toward the outside wall of the battery chamber.
7. Close the battery chamber cover by swinging it down and sliding it toward the outside of the camera.
