Watson Pro Cine High-Load V-Mount Battery
Power your cinema camera or other power-hungry professional equipment with this Watson Pro Cine V-Mount Battery. While sporting a capacity of 148Wh, this cine battery remains relatively compact. Its robust ABS housing fits on smaller cinema cameras without disrupting the overall design aesthetic or getting in the way of top-mounted accessories. The 15-amp maximum load on this Cine battery can support cinema cameras rigged up with accessories, large LED lights, external recorders, or other on-set essential gear that uses a V-mount. SMBUS communication is enabled through the V-mount connection. Accurate battery runtime remaining information can be displayed in the viewfinder of compatible cameras. Use the D-tap and USB port to power accessories and charge mobile devices as well. Intelligent circuitry protection is built-in to prevent overloading, overheating, and short-circuits.
Compact Design
Smaller cinema cameras benefit from the compact design of the Watson Pro Cine batteries. The shorter overall design sits in line with compact camera bodies, providing lower clearance for handles and complex rigs.
Accessory Ports
Not only will the Watson Pro Cine battery power your camera or light, accessories can be powered simultaneously using the built-in D-tap and USB ports. The D-tap can output 12V at up to 10 amps for lens control systems, on-camera lighting, or other accessory. The USB port outputs 5V at 1 amp and can be useful to charge on-set electronics or mobile devices.
LED Status Indicator
Press the check button on the rear and LEDs will illuminate to indicate the current battery capacity.
Intelligent Circuitry
Intelligent circuitry constantly analyzes battery load and temperature, and will shut down to prevent damage from overloading, overheating, and short-circuiting.

Watson Pro Dual Position Li-Ion Battery Charger (V-Mount)
This Watson Pro Dual Position Li-Ion Charger supports two V-mount batteries and offers a 4-pin XLR power output, providing dual-purpose functionality in a portable, handy design. It's capable of simultaneous charging, and the XLR port offers useful versatility. An ergonomic carry handle, flip-out kickstand, rubberized feet, On/Off switch, and LED status indicators complete the design and allow for comfortable and efficient operation.
This charger is able to charge two batteries with up to 6.6Ah capacities simultaneously, delivering 2.5A to each battery. For batteries with capacities of 8.8Ah or more, it provides sequential charging at 5A, first charging one to 85%, and then switching to fully charge both.
The 4-pin XLR power output can be used to power select cameras from an AC outlet or off of connected batteries. A special feature of this charger is that when it's connected to a power outlet, it is capable of charging the batteries and providing power through the XLR output at the same time, as opposed to one or the other as is more common.
Additionally, an XLR cable is included, giving you everything you need to make full use of this charger. The charger supports 100-240 VAC power input, so it can be used worldwide with the right plug adapters (sold separately).
