Nikon MB-D18 Multi-Power Battery Pack

The Nikon MB-D18 Multi-Power Battery Pack is a water- and dust-resistant battery grip designed specifically for the Nikon D850 DSLR, extending shooting time and adding enhanced grip and vertical controls for demanding photo and video work.

The MB-D18 can be powered by one EN-EL15/EN-EL15a rechargeable Li-ion battery (using the included MS-D12EN battery holder), eight AA batteries (alkaline, lithium, or Ni-MH, using the included MS-D12 AA battery holder), or an EN-EL18a/b/c rechargeable Li-ion battery when paired with the optional BL-5 battery chamber cover (and, for the EN-EL18c, the MH-26a/MH-26 battery charger). When the D850 is powered by an EN-EL15c battery in the camera body along with an EN-EL18c in the MB-D18, continuous shooting speed increases to up to 9fps (CIPA standard); with an EN-EL18b battery and BL-5 cover, a single charge is rated for up to approximately 5,140 shots or about 210 minutes of video recording.

The grip is equipped with a shutter-release button, an AE/AF lock button, a multi selector, and main and sub-command dials, duplicating the camera’s primary controls for improved operation when shooting in portrait (vertical) orientation.

Build quality centers on a sturdy, weather-sealed housing measuring approximately 152 x 51 x 79mm (6.0 x 2.1 x 3.2 in.), with a 1/4″-20 male camera attachment point and a 1/4″-20 female tripod/accessory mount on its base. The grip also supports power via an EH-5c AC adapter (with the EP-5B power connector), and is compatible with earlier EN-EL15, EN-EL18, and EN-EL18a batteries, along with the EH-5b AC adapter. The kit includes the MB-D18, the MS-D12EN holder for EN-EL15-type batteries, and the MS-D12 holder for AA batteries.
