Thanks Shun....

1)...I just started checking battery life a couple of weeks ago. Change level was at 30+%, I shot for an hour and it completely died. I now own backup batteries. Shot for 4-hours this morning and battery charge was at 97%. 2). Battery door attaches to battery. Did not know that when I ordered spare batteries. I now have spare batteriies all with door attached to make it easy to swap out.

New battery arrived today from B&H. BTW...new batteries do not come with battery door (took a while to figure out how to remove that & put on new battery). Also, I had Airplane Mode ON and when I got home from 4+ hrs in field this morning the battery charge was 95%.

Shun, after 8-hrs calibration was still running and I discontinued it because it was my bedtime. I did turn Airplane Mode ON and that seemed to help. It was fully charged at 100% when I went out this morning. Took 500+ pics over a 4-hour period and charge level was 96% which seems normal. I think battery is just wearing out and needs replacement. A 3rd party battery (Wasabi) arrives today, and Nikon battery arrives Monday.

I have a Nikon Z9 with a EN-EL18d battery (both purchased new in 4Q22. I have used them pretty much every day since then and recharge battery every night. In last couple of weeks it seems the battery drains quickly. Last night at bedtime it was fully charged at 100%. When I got up this morning the charge level was 78%. And,camera was OFF all night. Any thoughts on why this is happening? I have never calibrated battery (in fact, I did not know you could). I am calibrating now, but I don’t know if that will help (and calibration seems to take a long time). BTW...I have ordered a new battery from B&H and it arrives Monday. I never had a spare battery due to hight cost, but definitely need one now. Any thoughts?
