Swit V-Lock batt for Red

[Simon Morris]

Swit have released a new V-lock battery specifically for use with Red.

The D-8161S is 190Wh so will last for over 2 hours with a standard LCD + VF setup. They also have intelligent circuitry to enable the % remaining indicator on the Red display, like the standard Red batts.
Compatable with the standard Red charger.

Lemac Film & Video (Australia) are doing a 20% off deal for Reduser folk. For purchase and rental.

I am asking because they don't mention anything about the RED and i am wondering about how it behaves with the RED Charger.

Any US distributors?

Hmm I'd be weary of that Miltos, the model number and Wh is correct but the image on that site is definately not the batt I'm talking about. It clearly says 'For RED' on the front and is a larger size.

Are you sure you're talking about a Swit product? Switronix has been offering a 190whr battery that is fully compatible with the RED for some time now. Swit and Switronix are two separate companies that have nothing to do with one another.
