do you know if the both batteries are used at once from the camera body, like a parallel batery usage, or does the body use the energy from one batery

it drains both at the same rate, you can pull one out and charge while the other is being used, just dont power off if you have an aftermarket battery, then you have to use the nikon to get it back on.

yes it doesI can shoot about a hundred shots then whenever I change batteries I could change one of the time and never power of the camera downI couldn't see myself without a battery grip on my 5100 I carry 6 batteries just in case it I am on a shoot where I am away from shore power to charge the batteries

I would say that either one of these batteries is about the same..have used both of them with no problems.

Yes I have the same camera and it works great. I use it as in extra battery, I have only used it a few times. I have only had it sence the holdays.

Yes, both cameras take the same EN-EL15 Lithium-ion Batterywww.photofonz.com

YES! When the BG (battery grip) battery is discharged, it will use the battery in the camera,without interrupting the video. I always use the BG battery first, because you can easily accessthe compartment, and replace with a fresh battery.

That is correct. Flashlight holds one one battery, the other can be on charge. Also both batteries can be placed in charger at the same time to be charged. The flashlight is really bright.

Yes. And both run on batteries. But the camera picture quality decreases quickly on battery power.

It takes the same battery as the camera, or 6 double a batteries depending on which included adapter you use. You can select in the camera in what order the batteries discharge. Mine however for some reason discharge the batteries in parallel. In essence using the battery pack does double the time between full discharge.

The camera displays the battery amount as one single battery. The grip works great. I like how my camera feels in my hands with it on.

Not the question I asked! When I go into Battery Check on the camera shutter count is different for each battery. I'd like to know if this is normal, I would have expected that each battery would show the same number of shutter actuations. I am not asking about max number of actuations for the batteries

An extra battery. So that's two batteries- one in the camera and one extra. Very helpful so you can always recharge one while using the other!

You have the extended life of two batteries. In fact, your camera will allow you to configure which one is used up first, and will show you how much power is left in each. The MB-D11 unit makes your camera significantly heavier and larger, but the additional power is even more helpful if you're shooting in a continuous mode [as in sporting event], or when it would be egregious to run out of power [as in a wedding]. I like it, and am glad I have it. I should also say that I ordered and returned another manufacturer's version of the MB-D11. It seemed flimsy to me, and was more complicated to assemble. Like most Nikon equipment, I'm not sorry I bought that Nikon quality.

It never offset the other battery. But it depends on how long you leave the camera unused. The batteries does get discharged eventually after days but slowly.

The AA batteries have plastic pouch they go in to make it like a regular canon battery (think xbox 360 controller) so i guess it doesn't matter if you use both.

It uses the same battery as the camera and holds just one of them....plus the one in the camera

Yes. One battery, one dock-style wall-charger. The battery must be removed from the camera and seated in the charger. Las opposed to a cable that plugs into the camera and charges while the battery's is inside the camera.

Yes, and very well, too. I keep both the original battery and this one charged when shooting. I shoot primarily video so my batteries go fast.
