The Battery and Charger
Read and follow the warnings and cautions on pages xviii–xx and 379–382 of
this manual. To prevent short-circuits, replace the terminal cover when
the battery is not in use.
Do not use the battery at ambient temperatures below 0°C (32°F) or
above 40°C (104°F). Charge indoors at ambient temperatures in the
vicinity of 5–35°C (41–95°F); for best results, charge the battery at
temperatures above 20°C (68°F). Battery capacity may temporarily drop if
the battery is charged at low temperatures or used at a temperature
below the temperature at which it was charged. If the battery is charged
at a temperature below 5°C (41°F), the battery life indicator in the [Battery
info] (pg. 321) display may show a temporary decrease.
The battery may be hot immediately after use. Wait for the battery to cool
before recharging.
Use the charger with compatible batteries only. Unplug when not in use.

Incompatible Batteries
The D300 can not be used with EN-EL3 or EN-EL3a rechargeable Li-ion
batteries for the D100, D70 series, or D50 or with the MS-D70 CR2 battery
holder.
A
EN-EL3e Rechargeable Li-ion Batteries
The supplied EN-EL3e shares information with compatible devices,
enabling the camera to show battery charge state in six levels (pg. 44).
The [Battery info] option in the setup menu details battery charge, battery
life, and the number of pictures taken since the battery was last charged
(pg. 321).
