Tether Tools Relay Camera Coupler for Nikon EN-EL15C #CRN5B-C
A coupler that draws continuous power from an external 5 V USB source via the Case Relay system
- Powers camera continuously via external 5V USB sources
- Closes battery door fully with cable through rubber trapdoor
- Works with Nikon EN-EL15C and EN-EL15 battery cameras
- Eliminates need for multiple proprietary camera batteries
- Requires separate Case Relay Camera Power System to operate
Continuous Power for Nikon Cameras
The Relay Camera Coupler replaces a standard EN-EL15C or EN-EL15 battery inside the camera body, letting you draw power from an external 5V USB source via the Case Relay Camera Power System. It is built for photographers and videographers who need uninterrupted operation during long sessions such as time-lapse, photo booth or LiveView work. The coupler contains no internal battery and cannot hold a charge on its own.
Upgrade from Swappable Proprietary Batteries
Instead of carrying and charging multiple proprietary packs, you connect a single non-proprietary power bank or wall adapter and hot-swap fresh USB batteries without cutting power to the camera. The jump is worth it when a shoot lasts longer than one internal battery can sustain or when stopping to change cells would miss critical frames. It does not suit users who only shoot short bursts and prefer the simplicity of a self-contained battery.
Simple Battery-Cavity Installation
Slide the coupler into the battery compartment and close the door fully; the cable exits through the rubber trapdoor and the system will not function if the door remains ajar. The only common issue is forgetting to seat the door completely, which breaks the circuit. A separate Case Relay Camera Power System is required, so verify you have that unit before purchasing.

Questions about this item
Which Nikon battery models does the CRN5B-C coupler replace?
The CRN5B-C coupler replaces Nikon EN-EL15C and EN-EL15 batteries, fitting directly into the camera's battery cavity.
How do you install the coupler and what step is often missed?
Insert the coupler into the battery port, connect it to the Case Relay CPS, then fully close the battery door so the cable exits through the rubber trapdoor; the system will not function if the door is left open.
What separate purchase is required before the coupler can power the camera?
A Case Relay Camera Power System and a 5V USB power bank or wall adapter must be bought separately; the coupler itself holds no charge.
