Another Cheap battery alternative

[Pedro Ribeiro]

I have same question as Clayton.

 

[Troy Bakewell]

I have the Dynacore 220wh. They come in AB as well. Search on Ebay. I love mine.

going to have to invest in some of these as well as a WC plate!

 

[Troy Bakewell]

Wrong quote. Sorry

Looks they don't have an AB mount version..anyone know of a different company that has one..?

Has anyone used these version of the Power U Batteries (POWER-U 14.4V 130Wh)

Hi Tom, I posted on this thread Oct 14th. I've been using both the 130Wh and 150Wh versions on my Scarlet Dragon. I love them. They last very long. The 130Wh runs about 2-2.5 hours depending on your power save settings. They're a little heavy, but that's not a big deal. The 150Wh goes something like 2.5 hours plus. I used both of them on an all day shoot and with a handful of revolts, that lasted me the whole day. I always kept one charging though while alternating batteries. In the future, I'd love to get a 200Wh one.

I wonder if my globalmedia charger would work on these?

It should. With no problems... Only ABs have a proprietary chip in the battery and charger. Nearly everything else is interchangeable!

 

[Curt Pair]

Can somebody recommend a v-mount battery plate to use with these Power-U batteries?

Also, does Scarlet use the same lemo connector as Red One?

I was wondering if this would work on Scarlet:

That's for a Red One... but Wooden Camera and Switronix make some for Scarlet/Epic.

I think I'm getting these for my gimbal work!

Where can I buy the 290wh power-u batteries?

 

[Larry Cheuk]

I don't see a 290WH one but I see a 260WH on ebay.

Has anyone had any luck with these Rolux batteries?
http://camerakings.co.uk/rolux-160w-v-mount-li-ion-rechargeable-battery
Will these work with the Red Quickplate and will I get battery info on the display?
Also do you still have to have a battery in the side handle to make all of this work or was that fixed?
Thanks.

Anyone found any inexpensive 95Wh Beillen-style v-mounts (that come with charger) on eBay?

 

[Eric Santiago]

Not sure if its been posted here but what options compete with the BRICK and not just in power but in weight?

Were finding the BRICK to be a bit of a beast in some cases.

 

[Patrick Grossien]

Eric, the only on-camera batteries I know of would be the redvolt XLs but other than that it's just belts and external battery packs.

 

[Patrick Grossien]

Guys, what do you think of the directly chargeable batteries like these

View attachment 47064
U can charge direct.

Anybody have any experience with them? I'm not sure if the internal charger is a good idea - depending on how robust these are. Don't want to have the battery die on me because the charger gives up.

Sorry for resurrecting this thread. I have ABs on my cameras, but most rental houses only have v-mounts as well as most people I know. Is there any time of converter that makes it possible to use v-locks on a ab plate or vice versa? Would be awesome. Google hasn't been to much help!

Still going strong.

This thread should actually be called "A Great Battery Alternative"
