Mine's a 4AAB

Apprantly only around 5 have failed and caused real problems, but Nikon have decided to recall the entire batch that could possibly be affected just to be on the safe side.


Edit - rumour has it that the replacement is a higher capacity


Instructions seem pretty clear to me...

You get in contact, they send you envolope, you send battery in envolope, they send new battery.

Website claims a turnaround of 5-10 days unless they get very busy in which case it will take longer.

Might do mine, but perhaps over the exam period when i won't be using it as much

Ha!

I just today got sent an email about this by Nikon!

Not too long since it was first found out then
