SmallRig 6537 D-Tap Dummy Battery Power Cable For Nikon EN-EL15c

SmallRig 6537 Dummy Battery Power Cable For Nikon EN-EL15c

The SmallRig 6537 Dummy Battery Power Cable connects compatible Nikon cameras to an external D-Tap power source through an EN-EL15c-style battery insert. It accepts 9-17V input and supplies 7.8-8.4V output at 2A continuously. An integrated display shows incoming voltage, while status indicators identify low input power and reversed D-Tap connections.

Designed for extended recording and livestreaming, this cable helps reduce interruptions caused by swapping camera batteries. Use it as a D-Tap power cable for Nikon cameras, a dummy battery for long recordings, or an external power connection for studio production. The coiled lead accommodates different rig layouts, while the battery-shaped insert fits into the camera's battery compartment. Connect the D-Tap plug to a suitable external source, such as a compatible V-mount battery.

SmallRig lists support for selected Nikon mirrorless and DSLR bodies, including the Z8, Zf, and D850. The voltage display helps operators monitor the external supply during a session. Reverse-connection protection supplements overvoltage, overheating, overcharge, and short-circuit safeguards. A flame-retardant ABS housing surrounds the battery insert, and the manufacturer lists FCC, CE, RoHS, ISED, and RCM compliance.

Key Features

• External Camera Power: Connect a compatible Nikon body to a D-Tap source to reduce battery changes during extended shooting.
• EN-EL15c-Style Insert: The battery-shaped housing installs in the camera's battery compartment for a direct power connection.
• Real-Time Voltage Display: Monitor incoming voltage and power status without disconnecting the cable.
• Low-Power Indicators: Green indicates input above 13V, while solid or flashing red warns when voltage falls below 13V.
• Reverse-Connection Protection: A solid red indicator with no voltage reading identifies a reversed D-Tap connection so you can correct its orientation.
• Coiled Cable: The manufacturer lists an extendable length of 31.5-39.4 inches for routing between the camera and power source.
• Electrical Safeguards: Overvoltage, overheating, overcharge, and short-circuit protection support operation with compatible equipment.
