144Wh High Capacity for Extended Video Production
The V150 provides 144 watt-hours of rated energy storage, making it suitable for professional equipment that requires longer operating time than smaller camera batteries can provide.
Its 14.4V / 10Ah lithium-ion configuration provides a useful combination of battery capacity and portability for professional field production.
Whether you are recording interviews, filming documentaries, operating broadcast cameras or working with compatible video accessories, the V150 helps reduce the frequency of battery changes.
Estimated Battery Runtime
Theoretical operating time can be estimated by dividing battery capacity in watt-hours by equipment power consumption in watts.
| Equipment Power |
Theoretical Runtime |
| 20W | 7.2 hours |
| 30W | 4.8 hours |
| 40W | 3.6 hours |
| 60W | 2.4 hours |
These are theoretical calculations, not guaranteed runtimes. Actual runtime is affected by battery condition, temperature, conversion losses and equipment requirements. Verify the battery's maximum discharge rating before connecting high-power equipment.
Standard Professional V-Mount / V-Lock Interface
The V150 features a standard V-Mount battery connection designed for compatible professional camera equipment.
The V-Lock mounting mechanism helps hold the battery securely on compatible camera battery plates, while the electrical contacts provide DC power to the connected equipment.
The V150 can serve as an additional battery or replacement for selected Sony and IDX V-Mount applications, provided the camera's mounting and electrical requirements are compatible.
Built-In D-Tap Port for Additional DC Power Flexibility
One of the most useful features of the V150 is its built-in D-Tap connector, sometimes called a P-Tap connector.
The D-Tap port provides access to battery DC power for compatible video-production accessories using the appropriate D-Tap cable.
Depending on the accessory and cable configuration, it may be useful for powering compatible field monitors, wireless video equipment and other DC-powered production accessories.
The same port can also be used as a battery charging connection with a compatible D-Tap lithium-ion battery charger.
Important D-Tap Power Information:
The D-Tap connection supplies battery voltage, which changes with battery charge level. It is not a regulated 12V output or USB-C PD port. Verify the accessory's accepted voltage, polarity and current requirements before connecting. Use an appropriate regulated DC converter when required.
Premium Panasonic Lithium-Ion Battery Cells
The V150 uses premium Panasonic lithium-ion battery cells selected for professional rechargeable battery applications.
Battery cell quality is an important consideration for camera operators who need dependable power during recording sessions, studio work and field production.
Convenient 5-Level LED Battery Indicator
The built-in LED indicator allows you to check the approximate remaining battery capacity without mounting the battery on a camera.
Press the battery-level button to activate the display. The indicator is useful when preparing batteries before filming or checking backup batteries during production.
Optional Portable AC Battery Charger
The V150 can be purchased with an optional portable AC battery charger.
The compatible charger connects to the battery through its D-Tap port using the appropriate charging cable. Its compact design makes it convenient for studio use, location filming and travel.
