It’s truly bizarre how some people react to the possibility of carrying a tiny extra battery in their pocket. The Z9 is the only camera I’ve never carried a second battery for, and that includes all of my Z battery cameras. It’s fine, you’ll live.

It takes me about 5-6h to deplete Z battery on A1 with "walkabout" usage and that's rated at 530/430. I'd be scared to find out what 340/330 means in practice ...
It's trully bizarre how some people can be so ignorant. The fact that you're willing to carry 3 extra batteries for a full day of shooting is your choice. It was a nice upgrade going from FW50 to FZ100 for me as having an extra spare was most often not even needed for the day on A7III. On A1, 2 batteries are a must if I'm out on a day trip and I'd be carrying a 3rd just to have peace of mind. Sure, it's not an issue if I take a bigger bag or I'm alone, but when I use my most compact setup, any extra piece hurts the overal loadout and why regress in the first place.
That's why for me it's a deal breaker if I have to switch batteries after 3h in a cam used throughout the day (as opposed to shooting 10k images in 15 minutes) .
