Nikon Camera Chargers

Maybe your current Nikon camera charger has come to the end of its life or perhaps it would be convenient to have a second or third charger to hand? Whatever the reason, choosing a charger is a straightforward process, made all the easier by the wide range of Nikon chargers available.

Checking to see if a Nikon camera charger is broken

The first step to take is to determine if it is the actual charger that is not functioning. Camera batteries degrade over time to the point where they will inevitably fail to charge. To tell whether a camera battery charger has ceased to function and not the battery, check the charger unit and look for any discolouration. Is there a burning smell? Check the wires to see if there are splits or breaks and also check the fuse in the plug.

Replacing a defective Nikon camera charger

Having determined that it is the charger at fault, the next step is getting a replacement and there are a great many available. It's essential to get the right charger for the camera in question and to do that, take a look at the specifications of the charger that is to be replaced and make a note of the model number and range name of the camera . These details should precisely match the charger you have chosen.

Rules for battery charging

To make a Nikon camera charger last longer it is recommended that the unit is unplugged from the mains between battery charging. This is also a good precaution to take from the safety point of view. Additionally, don't dismantle or attempt to open a charger, avoid use in extreme temperatures and keep away from fire and water.

Recycling old Nikon camera chargers

Like all electrical and electronic equipment, old Nikon chargers should not be thrown away with general household waste. Check local recycling facilities and dispose of the old charger as instructed. The same applies should the battery be in need of disposal too.
