This can be a item difficult to find but BH provides the genuine part. Other third party battery covers are not weatherproof. I would get this and not risk my Z9 with anything else.

Bought this for my spare Z9 battery. No more fiddling in the dark when I am changing batteries and have to switch the cover over.

So can this cover be used with the EN-EL18c batteries (those batteries that can be used in the D850 camera) ? Will the EN-EL18c batteries work in the Z9 ?
Asked by: John
BL-7 cover is unique to the Z9 only. The EN-EL18x batteries are physically the same so it should work with EN18x. Electrically the 18d is higher capacity and charges in-camera. The 18c maybe works in Z9 with or without in-camera charge but lower capacity. Be forewarned, like the Z's and EL15's, some or all of the 18c/18b/18a/18 batteries may not be recognized by the Z9.

Allow me to re-phrase the question.
Understood that the Nikon BL-5 Cover only works with the D850 and the new BL-7 Cover only works with the new Z9.
Can the "The Nikon BL-7 cover" be used with the EN-EL18c batteries (the EN-EL18c batteries are used in the D850 camera) ?
Will the EN-EL18c batteries work in the Z9 with the Nikon BL-7 cover ?
Asked by: John
The Nikon BL-7 Battery Chamber Cover does work with most EN-EL18 series Li-ion batteries including the EB-EL18C. You will lose functions when using that combination in the Nikon Z9. You will not be able to charge the EN-EL18C while in the Z9. And it will not charge with the MH-33 charger. The older battery uses the MH-26a or MH-26aAK charger.

what is the purpose of purchasing this item seperately, when it is included in the camera?
Asked by: Hiran
The reason for an extra are speed and convenience. By having an extra cover already attached to your extra battery, it saves a few steps and time when switching.
