You'll need the battery, the charger and a cap for the battery door besides of the grip. There were a couple of special offers combining all these things, when the D850 was introduced. It's also not a waste of time to look into the manual. Page 260.
Roughly 850 $ for just 2 fps more? And getting a device which is not very stable to use with a tripod and doesn't give you any extra function - I had three or four of these grips, not any more: With the D850 I stopped the grip aquisition syndrome
Geting the (comparatively) cheap one from Fuji for X-T2, I had to realize "others do a bettrer Job on grips than Nikon".

- compartment for 2 additional batteries.
- charging socket in the grip - no need to take out the batteries.
- mechanically, the Fuji is superior to any Nikon grip.
- additional sockets for headphones (no need for D850)
- Came with AC transformer to operate the camera without batteries (that costs 150.- additional from Nikon)
- charging socket
- stable housing, preferably with Arca type bottom plate
- identical buttons and knobs like the D850. I don't understand why Nikon has to make extra buttons which work slightly different, especially the dials
- to be a complete package with EN-EL 18b
- a GPS module inbuilt.
