Well, Vlock are usually standard.

If you have a Wooden Camera quickPlate, it won't work with less than 120w. My 90w are not doing it.

Most smaller 'n cheapish V-Locks (especially when smaller than 100Whr) have a safety cap to the max current draw (usually around 4A),
but you can find newer models (like the 95Whr for RED from GMP) which works with DSMC bodies.

Bérenger, I don't think the plate is responsible for that cap...if you try with IDX Endura HL9 batts for example...they just works (and are top notch as always...)!
