FAQs

Is this battery safe for air travel?

Most airlines have a limit of 160 Wh for lithium-ion batteries in carry-on luggage. Since this unit is 148 Wh, it generally complies, but always check with your specific airline carrier before flying.

Can I use both D-Tap ports at the same time?

Yes, you can utilize both D-Tap ports simultaneously to power multiple devices, provided the total current draw does not exceed the battery's discharge limits.

How do I check the battery level?

The battery includes an integrated LED status indicator, typically activated by a button on the side or rear of the unit.

Does it come with a charger?

The battery usually does not include a charger in the box; a standard V-Mount battery charger is required.

What does IP64 mean?

IP64 indicates the battery is dust-tight (6) and protected against splashing water from any angle (4).

Can I use the USB-C port to charge the battery?

No, the USB-C port on this model is designed for output power to accessories, not for charging the battery itself.

Troubleshooting

Battery does not lock into the V-mount plate

Check the mount for debris or damage; ensure the battery release button is not stuck in the depressed position.

Accessory connected via USB-C is not charging

Ensure the battery is powered on and that the USB cable is functioning; some high-draw devices may require the battery to be actively discharging the main load to wake the port.

Unexpected power loss

Verify that all D-Tap cables are firmly seated; check if the lighting fixture is drawing more current than the battery's maximum discharge rating.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable IP64-rated weather protection
  • Multiple power ports including USB-C and dual D-Tap
  • High 148 Wh capacity for long-duration shoots
  • Compact form factor compatible with industry-standard V-mounts

Cons

  • Weight may be significant for handheld gimbal rigs
  • Requires a compatible V-Mount charger
  • Higher price point compared to basic Li-ion batteries

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin using the battery, simply align it with the V-Mount plate on your light fixture or rig and slide it downward until it clicks securely into place. Ensure the battery is fully charged using a dedicated V-Mount charger before your first shoot. Compatibility is universal with standard 14.8V V-Mount systems. To maintain the life of the cells, avoid deep discharging the battery completely and store it in a cool, dry place between 40% and 60% charge if you do not plan to use it for an extended period. Always wipe the exterior clean after exposure to moisture to prevent residue buildup on the contacts.
