Hey guys, I'm new and could use some help. (English isn't my first language so plz bear with me)

I'm about to get my SW in a few weeks and I was wondering if I could get some good battery recommendations. Which ones should I buy? I bought the camera with the DSMC2 REDVOLT XL MODULE but now I realize I should've probably go with the V-Lock one. The thing is I already received those accesories and I'm selling them (it's all brand new, still in it's boxes and bags, never opened, never used, should anyone be interested) to get the DSMC2 VLOCK I/O EXPANDER and some V-Lock batteries. I've heard good things about the Blueshape brand but what can you guys tell me or recommend? I get all confused with the Wh's, Volts and Ah's... :(

Thanks for all the help and patience!
 
Right now I haven't found any I would consider buying besides the Dynacore DM-155S. Their biggest flaw is that they don't pass charge % to the brain. Other batteries either have a fatal design flaw (preventing the use of a top handle) or weigh and cost considerably more. The Anton Bauer Cine 150 will probably last longer if you're shooting constantly everyday, but for me they don't have many advantages.
 
Dynacore are perfect for the job. Getting aroung 2.5 hours from the 155 on Epic W

Jesus, Where did you buy your accessories? did you buy directly from RED or from a dealer? If from a dealer, bare in mind that some dealers will be happy to swap your DSMC2 REDVOLT XL MODULE to the V-Lock one. Try and email them and inquire, even RED might do it, depends on the time.

As for batteries, I second the Dyanocre DM-155s offer, I have two and love them! I also have the SWIT SWIT S-8192S, which is a 184Wh battery that split into half, pricing and quality are fantastic, very solid battery, but big, still really nice and easy to fly with and most important last for 3 hours.

I would recommend to stay away from 95Wh batteries if possible, the camera draws about 60Wh which for me doesn't sit right with 95Wh batteries, the new PAG 150Wh look interesting but I feel the price is sky high, especially in the US.

Hope this helps.
