Nikon recall to replace rechargeable battery packs

I know at least one reader that will be affected by this. Nikon has issued a recall notice for certain rechargeable battery packs that come with its D100, D70, and D50 model cameras. A few have been overheating during recharging. They have published a list of the possibly faulty EN-EL3 type batteries so you should check if yours is on there and then seek a replacement from Nikon if necessary.

Mine is on the list which unfortunately means that I will be without a camera once I receive the "return envelope" from Nikon. I hope they send the replacement promptly.
