I want to purchase a backup battery for my nikon d80. What battery will last me the longest? I will be shooting at friends’ weddings and do not want my battery to die on me.

Seeing as all D80s are still under warranty, I would seriously recommend getting a genuine Nikon. Use of a non-genuine Nikon may void your warranty.
I got one off ebay which went OK for a while and then died after a few months. Wouldn’t work wouldn’t charge. I replaced it with a genuine Nikon and haven’t looked back. Learn from my pain!

Teef’s right. When I buy a new camera, I always buy a spare genuine battery anyhow.

They are all made in China go on eBay and get a fey from Hong Kong. Do you have a backup camera for the wedding in case your goes down. Weddings are once in a lifetime event. At least take a 35mm film as a back up.

Buy a second EN-EL3e. That’s more than enough power for one wedding.
