Full details

The SmallRig VB50 Mini V Mount Battery 4871 is an ideal power solution for videographers and content creators who need a compact, highly portable energy source for cameras, monitors, and mobile devices. Utilizing LG A-grade cells and a sophisticated Battery Management System, it delivers stable, high-capacity power with versatile output options. While it offers excellent performance in a small form factor, users should note that its 50W total output limit means it is better suited for smaller rigs and accessories rather than power-hungry cinema cameras.

FAQs

Can I take this battery on an airplane?

Yes, its compact capacity generally falls within international airline safety guidelines, but always check with your specific airline before traveling.

Does it come with a charger?

The battery supports USB-C PD charging, but a wall charger is typically sold separately.

What is the maximum power output?

The total output power is 50W, which is ideal for cameras, monitors, and accessories.

How long does it take to charge?

Charging time varies depending on the wattage of your PD charger, but it supports 45W fast charging for efficient turnaround.

Is the battery weather-sealed?

While the casing is made of fire-resistant, durable PC material, it is not officially weather-sealed, so protect it from direct rain or moisture.

Troubleshooting

Battery will not power on or display is blank

Ensure the battery is fully charged via the USB-C port; if the display remains blank, verify that the battery isn't in a protected state due to a previous short circuit by plugging it into a charger to reset the BMS.

Connected device not receiving power

Check that the specific output port (D-Tap/DC) is firmly connected and that the device voltage requirements are within the battery's output specifications.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin using the VB50, ensure your V-mount plate or adapter is securely fastened. Simply slide the battery onto the mount until it clicks. When connecting devices, check that the output voltage of the battery port matches the input requirement of your camera or accessory.

For charging, utilize the USB-C port with a standard PD-compatible wall charger for the fastest results. To maintain longevity: keep the battery within the recommended operating temperature range of -15 to 60°C. Periodically inspect the ports for debris and store the battery in a cool, dry environment when not in use for extended periods. As with all lithium-ion products, avoid puncturing the casing and keep away from open flames.
