Presuming theres now spot for them in the new design Pelican case ?

I'm sure Jannard or Jarred would show the Pro Battery Module in the Recon section once it's ready, so no one will get it for a while probably.

Do you know this to be the case?

I have a feeling it'll be a bit like the Side handles and Chargers with the M packages- They'll ship your kit and then send you the other remaining bits/modules/accessories when they're ready.

Jarred did post a picture recently with a working quad-battery module...

Well that's where they've been showing all the new stuff when it's ready, and they haven't shown the final Pro Battery Module or announced features of it yet so....

Thank you so much for posting that link. I never saw that thread before and those pics and some of the discussion actually answered a lot of questions for me. If only we knew if the Pro Battery Module will have d-tap connections or not.

My guess is no. I would think that the power output on the Redvolts isn't enough to also run a d-tap. The battery module only drains one redvolt at a time, not all four simultaneously... Besides, if the module had a d-tap, I think they'd put it on the "dumb" side of the camera (right side, same as the battery plate for red bricks), so you would see one there if it had one....

Thanks Jonathan, yes looking forward to this setup..

That's a good point, and unfortunately would be a reason for me to not get the Pro Battery Module. I really like the look of it so I'll wait to see when it actually starts shipping, but at this point it does look like I'll have to go Red Brick or AB for my Epic.
