A complete table of Nikon 1 system battery compatibility

It took me a while to get this data together, so I thought it might be useful for other camera hoarders collectors:

Nikon 1 Camera ModelBattery TypeCompatible Charger
V1EN-EL15MH-25
J1EN-EL20MH-27
J2EN-EL20MH-27
S1EN-EL20MH-27
V2EN-EL21MH-28
J3EN-EL20MH-27
S2EN-EL22MH-29
AW1EN-EL20MH-27
V3EN-EL20a1MH-29
J4EN-EL22MH-292
J5EN-EL24MH-31
  1. It seems the EN-EL20a is a higher-capacity, 100% physically-compatible replacement for the EN-EL20. They should work interchangeably in all cameras that take the EN-EL20[a], and the MH-27 or MH-29 will charge either battery. See this thread for more. 

  2. Although the EN-EL22 and EN-EL20[a] are not physically interchangeable in a camera, the MH-29 charges all three battery types.
