question

I just want to make sure I have this straight. If you have the MB-D12, you can purchase this chamber cover and an EN-EL18a battery to expand the power capacity (going from an EN-EL15 to this 18) of my D810?

question

can i use the new ENEL-18a battery with this? Does anyone know how many shots one can take with ENEL-18s vs. ENEL-15?THanks
Asked by: Anonymous
The New EN-EL18a battery is compatible with the MB-D12 battery grip with the BL-5 battery chamber cover, yes. Nikon doesnt list battery life with the new EN-EL18a, but with the older EN-EL18 they estimate 1,400 shots by CIPA standards. With the EN-EL15 they estimate 900 shots by CIPA standards.

question

Can I use the BL-5 with the EN-EL4a Battery?
Asked by: andres
The EN-EL4a battery fits Nikon: D2 series cameras and with the BL-3 it can be used to power the D300, D300s and D700 when using the MB-D10 battery grip.That said, although the BL-5 can accept the EN-EL4a battery, the BL-5 is no compatible to the MB-D10 battery grip!You will need the BL-3 adapter for the EN-EL4a battery.Hth.

question

If I buy the MB-D12, do I also need to buy the BL-5 Battery Chamber cover as well or will the MB-D12 battery pack, as ordered, hold on N-15 Battery?
Asked by: Anonymous
The BL-5 cover is used with the en-el18 battery. You can use the en-el15 battery with the MB-D12 grip as ordered.

question

How can I charge the batteries of the EN-EL18a if the charger is not in stock. Do the camera D810 charger supply power (full charge overnight) to the MB-D12 to power the EN-EL18a ?

question

can this cover fits mcoplus grips and fit en-el18 battery to get 9fps with extra longer battery life?
Asked by: Ang W.
I am using this on a Meike D850 grip and it works perfectly. If the grip can use the EN-EL18 battery, it should definitely work with this.
