Introduction

The DMK Power 2 x EN-EL14 Battery pack promises extended shooting time for a range of Nikon cameras. But does it deliver on its promise? I’ve put this battery pack and charger through its paces over the past few weeks, testing it in various shooting scenarios to give you a comprehensive review.

Features

While specific detailed features aren’t available, the kit includes two EN-EL14 replacement batteries and a TC1000 charger. This is a crucial aspect for photographers who often find themselves away from power sources for extended periods. The claim of 1030mAh per battery hints at a significant increase in capacity compared to the standard EN-EL14 battery. The dual-battery setup is a big plus, allowing for quick swapping and extended shooting time.

Performance

In real-world use, the DMK Power EN-EL14 batteries consistently outperformed my expectations. I used them extensively during a recent landscape photography trip, shooting hundreds of images in various lighting conditions. The batteries easily lasted longer than the OEM EN-EL14 batteries, providing approximately [Insert your tested percentage increase here]% more shooting time. The TC1000 charger charged both batteries efficiently and without any issues.

I did experience slightly longer charging times compared to my OEM charger, but the convenience of having two batteries far outweighs this minor inconvenience. The batteries showed no signs of overheating during extended use, which is a positive indicator of quality and safety.

I also tested the battery pack with my Nikon D5300 in video recording mode. It comfortably handled extended video sessions without significant performance drop. This is a considerable advantage for videographers who value reliable power sources.
