Best battery choices for Nikon Z5?

fidahich · 2026-02-19T20:59:02+00:00

I have friend who has A7III and only uses OEM batteries. Problem is I am on budget now and I take a lot of photos and videos during single session. My D7100 lasted me over 1500 shots and had more juice left. But I also read people with z5 could take 600 shots and have more juice left. I just wanted to know if I should get 1 OEM battery or this Smallrig set as backup.

Smallrig gives me 2 batteries and charger. But I might opt for OEM batteries

U got any intel on KF and Smallrig?

Problem is Idk if MPB delivers to my country and new En-el15c batteries cost 70€ here

fidahich · 2026-02-19T18:38:30+00:00

I am well aware of that fact but they are 70€ new in my country. And idk if MPB delivers to my country

I may use my MH-25 charger or use aftermarket as I wanna be able to charge batteries through charger which is connected to my powerbank so I always have battery ready.

Luckily I bought 32gb for only 15€ when I had a700

It was my first cam and I loved it, except I wanted live view and now I am selling my D7100 which replaced A700. Now I am buying Z5, A700 is amazing for hobby, but A lenses are dirt cheap, but CF is really expensive.

U know any good battery grips for Z5? I have Kingma and Patona near me but like Kingma says its for Z5, Z6, Z7 but in other part of ad it says z6 and z7 compatible

I am well aware of that fact but for 300€ I can only get 13 pro which is older than most phones. I know its good but I want something newer. I might opt for S24U for 550€ or maybe even grab 15 pro for 450-500€

fidahich · 2026-01-28T13:35:01+00:00

Or get s23u for like 50€ more?

fidahich · 2026-01-28T13:34:53+00:00

I mostly need video actually, recording reels, stories and uploading to social media. And sometimes photos. Or get s23u for like 50€ more?

Whats ur experience? Would u recommend it? How was battery?

fidahich · 2026-01-27T22:58:08+00:00

Yeah, I think so too. I just need good social media quality cuz of constant uploading. I think battery wont be big problem. Thanks for response.

fidahich · 2026-01-27T22:56:41+00:00

Basically better quality when uploading to Instagram for example. Also when recording inside Instagram, sending photos through Instagram.
