If you don't plan on using the shutter release button on the grip, you don't need the cord. You'll still get the benefit of two batteries but you'll only have the one shutter release button to work with, the one on the camera body. The shutter release button on the camera body will continue to function as it always has, with or without the grip/grip cable attached. Hope that helps clarify things....</blockquote>
