The Nikon EN-EL15c Rechargeable Lithium-ion Battery is the latest and highest-capacity iteration of Nikon’s trusted EN-EL15 form factor, engineered to power a wide range of Nikon mirrorless and DSLR cameras — from the flagship Z8 and Z7 II to the beloved D850 and D750. It serves as a higher-capacity drop-in replacement for earlier EN-EL15 generation batteries, letting you shoot longer between charges without changing your existing gear.
Versatile charging options make the EN-EL15c exceptionally convenient: use it with the MH-25 or MH-25a dedicated chargers, or charge it in-camera via the EH-7P or EH-8P AC Adapter when shooting with compatible Z-series bodies. It also works seamlessly with a full range of Nikon battery grips and the WT-7 Wireless Transmitter, making it a true all-in-one power solution for serious photographers.
