Battery Mathorn MB-211A 2250mAh USB-C replacement for EN-EL15C Nikon Z8

Mathorn MB-211A

Mathorn replacement battery for EN-EL15C with USB charging function
Nikon Z8 compatible firmware v2.01

Ready to work under heavy load

4K/8K shooting and video transmission are situations where the camera consumes up to 5 times more energy than in single shooting mode, with live view mode. Demanding working conditions constitute a daily basis of a photographer's work, as well as the natural environment for Mathorn batteries.

Charge Mathorn batteries quickly, safely and conveniently using the USB-C port

When choosing Mathorn batteries, you are no longer dependent on having a dedicated charger or access to the power grid. A built-in charging module with a USB-C port is designed to connect the battery directly to a universal USB charger or power bank. This makes the charging process the most efficient and safest for the cells. It is also advisable to consider charging the battery via the USB-C port instead of using the simplest chargers which are not equipped with appropriate protections.

Great for occasional photography

The built-in low-power electronics and the modern chemical formula of NCR cells set Mathorn battery self-discharge rate at 0.5% of total capacity per month1, which makes it an excellent choice, not only for everyday use but also for occasional shooting.

Power reserve for your future cameras

The unique efficiency of the Mathorn battery is the result of our original measurement procedure. We created power profiles of the latest and most demanding cameras available on the market and then selected components that ensure adequate performance. Thanks to this approach, once purchased, the battery will remain with you even when you replace the camera with a newer one. 

Distinctly reduced heating during operation

Thanks to modern high-current lithium-ion cells, Mathorn batteries can withstand up to 2 times higher power consumption than conventional cells. Higher efficiency means less battery heat, resulting in reduced camera heating and longer battery life. 

Laboratory-proven quality

We want the technical specification of our batteries to coincide with reality, which is why test each product using modern photographic as well as laboratory equipment. Thanks to that, we can be sure that the product will meet our rigorous standards, as well as your expectation. The declared capacity of our batteries coincides with their effective value (even under heavy load).

Full compatibility with your camera

Mathorn batteries are designed following the specifications of the latest camera models. Before launching the products, we test their compatibility in terms of mechanical, electronic, and software issues to ensure smooth operation and the best performance possible. 

Mathorn MB-211(A) - a substitute for Nikon EN-EL15C

Compatible camera models: D7100, D610, D810, D810A, D7200, D500, D7500, D7500, D850, Z6, Z7, D780, Z5, Z6 II, Z7 II, Z8.

Note: Not compatible with Nikon Zf i Z6 III

Attention paid to safety

The lifetime of the battery is associated with different scenarios of its use, not always optimal. That is why we have equipped each Mathorn battery with all currently used active and passive protections. They reduce the risk of damage and extend the period of trouble-free operation.

Long service life

The NCR lithium-ion technology and safety systems used in Mathorn batteries allow the device withstand up to 500 cycles of full charge and full discharge. No memory effect and large capacity encourages more frequent, partial recharging of the battery, which significantly extends its service life.

The most important features:

• compatible with Nikon Z8 firmware v1.01

• readiness to work under heavy load when shooting in 8K resolution

• significantly lower heating level of the battery and camera during filming and image transmission

• increased battery performance for high-resolution continuous shooting

• up to 2 times longer battery life with intensive usage

• 95% more power reserve than required by up-to-date cameras (as of December 2022)

• capacity and efficiency of cells verified under realistic loads

• 60% longer cell life compared to low-current batteries

• very long self-discharge time (below 0.5% capacity per month1)

• two charging options: with the use of a classic dedicated charger or via a USB-C connector

• USB-C charging process controlled entirely by the battery (guarantee of efficient and safe charging)

• battery charging status indicated by LED

• ability to withstand up to 500 cycles of full charging and full discharging

• no memory effect

• thermal, current and voltage protection

• over-discharge and over-charging protection

• protection against short circuit and incorrect polarity of the charger

• protection against inappropriate charging parameters

• housing made of self-extinguishing V1 material which is resistant to high temperatures
