Compact, quite light weight, US plug "folds"
This came with my S3100 Coolpix camera. It's a switchmode converter that puts out 5 volts up to a bit more than half an ampere. It has a USB connector, which probably means that it is much more generally useful than just for Nikon cameras. Any AC power, worldwide, will operate it; it (naturally) works on 100 volts, found in Japan, up to 240 V, in many places. Works on both 50 and 60 Hz, of course. It's wide-range; no need for a selector switch.
I opened it up (voiding the warranty, for sure); inside is what's called a switch mode power converter ('power supply") that not only does the job, but is much lighter in weight than a traditional type with a 50/60 Hz AC line (mains) transformer.
As well, it appears to have extraordinary protection from high-voltage AC accidents; in case of downed power lines or lightning, this device should be safer than many. It probably can isolate the USB connector from a few thousand volts on the AC mains plug; it's /very/ safe.
The label on the back has an amazing variety of approval logos and related information. Included is the UL logo of Underwriters' Labs in the USA, which sets stringent safety standards.
For US power outlets, the plug "folds" inside the housing ("case"), a very nice feature. It's easy to rotate it into working position. Adapters for other worldwide AC mains sockets can be removed (except in Argentina and Korea?) if you want to fold in the plug.
It works just fine with the USB cable for the S3100.
Mine is made in China for Nikon by Dongguan Powertec Electronics, Ltd. Quality is very good, and they plainly know what they're doing. (I'm a retired electronic tech. with engineering experience.)

Very Good Camera with large stupid charger
P-300 Excellent overall and I would recommend it especially for those who want more control over their camera. Great f1.8 lens at 24mm..
HOWEVER, their charger is beyond counter-intuitive! Compact charger requires long and relatively heavy and bulky multi-use cord.
* for charger - **** for the camera

Is this charger useable from 100-240v or just the U.S. 100-120? If it is only up to 120, is there a European version I can get? (I'm seriously considering the Coolpix P500, which comes with this charger, but I travel often to Europe and need a camera with a battery I can charge there too).

Answer:
Yes, all Nikon Coolpix cameras have an auto switching (from 100v to 240V 50hz/60hz) battery charger that will work in most countries around the world. AC adapters have similar characteristics. Always check the specification plate on your other battery chargers or AC adapters as third party products may not support dual voltage systems. We do not suggest the use of third party battery chargers and AC adapters with Nikon equipment.Note that the power cord included with some Nikon chargers or AC adapter is designed for 110 volt use only. A power cord suitable for the local power system should be obtained on arrival, most airport shops and computer suppliers will carry these items which are typically used for laptop computer power supply connections. Be sure that the new cord you buy fits the Nikon adapter you wish to use it with and that it is rated for the voltage in your new location. While not recommended, a simple plug adapter may be used, but caution should be taken as the cord Nikon supplies is not rated for the higher voltage and may heat or fail.
Some newer Coolpix have included an AC Adapter, for plugging directly into a wall outlet without the use of a power cord. As with previous chargers, the correct adapter must be acquired for the country traveled to, and fitted to the Nikon AC adapter to allow proper AC connection to the wall outlet.

The EH-69P charger is the only one for your COOLPIX P300.
I've attached the plug adapter to the unit by mistake and I am unable to remove it. In the manual it says that attempting to remove it forcibly could damage the product and I was wondering if there is any way to do it safely.

Will this charger work in the UK with an adapter or will I need a transformer as well?
I bought a camera with this adapter while in the US but have since moved home. I was told I may need to purchase a transformer as the voltages are different and I'd risk damaging the battery but I have also been told I'd just need an adapter.

I have used the charger for my P500 before, but now it isn't charging.

Answer:
If the light is flickering (very fast) it may be that the ambient temperature is not suited for charging or the USB cable is not properly connected, or there is a problem with the battery. Disconnect the USB cable or unplug the Charging AC adapter and correctly connect it again, or try a back up battery.
