Video Assist Battery Options...

PostSun Jan 28, 2018 3:49 pm

I know the Juicebox is widely used to power BM products. It states 58 W/hours.

Any opinions or thoughts on this battery below for supplying 12v - the cost is about half and the Watt hours work out to 187.2 at 12v output:

(Do an AMAZON Search)

LIBOWER laptop Power Bank 15600mAh External Battery with DC 12V 16.5V 19V 20V 24V Output and USB charge for Laptop,Tablets,photo printer,Smartphone


...any portable power option thoughts are appreciated, thanks in advance!

Probably the best option is to buy a VRLA (Valve Regulated Lead Acid)battery.
There are many options on output, amp hrs and so on.
They are the grey batteries that are used in race cars, bserver back up power supplies and house alarms.
Best bang for you buck!

Your LIBOWER is most probably the single cell Li-ion with 3.6 to 12v converter.

15600 mAh * 3.6 v = 56 Wh
