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 ?
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 ?
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?
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.
