D200 to D70?

[SCHNOOBS]

Can a Nikon D70 Li-ion battery work in a nikon D200?

I don't think so, the D200 uses the EN-EL3e, which has 3 metal contact strips. The D70 uses the EN-EL3, which only has 2 contact strips.

thanks, you are correct btw! turns out the d200 battery can work in the D70 but not visa versa!

i would be careful interchanging batteries that are different.

Unless the voltages are the same, the d200's battery could fry your d70

 

[SCHNOOBS]

Thank you for the concern, the voltage is the same the only diffence is the amount of connections and the D200 battery holds more power longer

No... I have both of those cameras and the only thing compatible is the charger.

The D70 uses Ni-Metal-Hydride batteries, with the 2 contacts. The D200 uses the Li-Ion batteries with the third contact to tell the charger the charge rate and both the camera and charger the battery condition. Without this third strip, Li-Ion batteries can combust if overcharged or charger too fast.
