Possible to use this V-Mount battery: 70wh, 4.8Ah PB70-B

[John Waldorff]

Hello,

With this V-Mount battery, D-Tap Output (12v)
Capacity: 70wh, 4.8Ah
Design Voltage: 14.8v

Should give roughly 1 hour of power to the Scarlet?

Or am I completly mistaken and this does not work?
As far as I understand it is almost double the power of a redvolt.

Reason for posting is that I stocked up 3 of these and now switch from BMCC to Scarlet.
Thanks so much.

Cheers

less han an hour, about 40-45 min
i have couple 4.8Ah batteries, not exactly like these, but it doesn't matter as long as you have proper V-lock to Scarlet solution.

Hello,


This one is supposed to be such solution I guess? V MOUNT PLATE FOR EPIC/SCARLET
http://www.switronix.com/products?p...age=flypage.tpl&product_id=154&category_id=38

They normally sell it with higher capacity batteries. Yet I have to regular PB 70 so do you think this is worth a try?


Thanks.

John - can't see what capacity of the battery has to do with anything here. V-brick is a V-brick. You will be fine.
Don't know what Switronix charges for the RED plate, but the WoodenCamera version (also Switrionics) is $299.
Love mine...

Thank you for clarifying =)

I have the exact same batteries and they work fine on my Scarlet. The only issue I encountered was when you press the button to meter how much power is left on the brick, it shut the camera off. Not sure why it does this, but otherwise, the battery was fine. In general, it lasted about 45-50 min, but I was also running an onboard monitor.
