When do you need a Nikon digital camera battery cover?

You were changing your Nikon camera batteries in a hurry to get a shot you couldn't miss, and in your hurry, you dropped the case that secures your batteries. You haven't seen it since, but you know you need a cover to secure those batteries and get back to using your camera. Situations like these happen all too often. Thankfully, there are many suitable digital camera batteries to choose from to replace your lost or broken Nikon battery cover.

How do you know which cover will fit?

Even if you are unable to bring in the Nikon camera to see what battery backing will fit the device in person, you will be able to identify a suitable cover. To do this, ensure compatibility by comparing model numbers of products. The model number of the battery cover should be structured something like this: d810.

How do you identify the right digital camera battery backing?

You may feel that a cover is an easily recognizable item, but small differences between items may be nearly noticeable. You can take measures to be sure you have the exact product you're looking for by using the following product categories as a guide:

• Brand - Since you are searching for your Nikon camera, confirm that the brand is Nikon.
• Type - It is common to break or misplace covers on a multitude of devices; confirm that the type is listed as camera battery cover.
• Compatible series - Nikon has different series of digital cameras. Confirm that you are looking for a battery encasement that matches your series of camera. For instance, Nikon D will need a Nikon D battery cover.
• Rubber lining - Many digital cameras of this brand have covers that have rubber lining. The rubber lining may add more seal to the cover, so you may choose to consider this as an important feature during your search.
• Color - If the look of your device is important to you, you'll also want to consider the color of the battery encasement. You may even opt to find a compatible item that is not the original color of your camera.
