PedroAdamastor Posted December 8, 2015 Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 Hi everyone. I just bought a Sound Devices 664. Im going to use it with 2x Sennheiser 416 + 4 Sennheiser G3 with OST TL40. Im looking for a reliable but not very expensive way to power the 664. Im not going to power anything else besides the 664 in my Petrol PS603 bag (the Sennheiser G3 run on AA bat). Any advice for reliable batteries to buy in Europe and reliable adaptor to connect them to 664 will be great and help me in the decision. Thanks.

PedroAdamastor Posted December 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 Thanks Mike. After searching for alternatives i decided im going to spend a little more and buy the NP1 batteries and charger from SWIT and the hawkwood NPA-SQN. Thank you for the help.

RPSharman Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 I bought these Tracer batteries. They're amazing. http://www.tracerpower.com/12v-8ah-lithium-polymer-battery-pack.html?gclid=Cj0KEQiA4qSzBRCq1-iLhZ6Vsc0BEiQA1qt-znESZG42jLRSqbhsb2LMUbgNGEcFH-o3gB4-9DdqEZQaAhie8P8HAQ Much cheaper solution, and arguably better.

James Bull Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 I second the tracer battery. Works well for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knod Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 why the tracer battery shipping costs are so high? Indeed cheaper but you pay the difference in shipping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPSharman Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 They weren't expensive to ship to me in the UK. They are lithium batteries, so perhaps some countries charge more. I don't know the answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted December 21, 2015 Report Share Posted December 21, 2015 After testing some Varizoom batteries out they worked pretty well for the price, they seem to be a rebrand of swit batteries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PedroAdamastor Posted December 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 Thanks everyone. I ended up buying NP1 batteries and charger from SWIT and the Hawkwood NPA-SQN from Pink Noise in UK. The shipping to Portugal was very fast and they were very helpful.

Some are pre-made (like 4-pin XLR). Or you can buy the bare leads, and solder any type of connector you prefer. Since most of my power connectors are 4-pin XLR to whatever I need, I bought the bare leads and soldered my own 4-pin XLR. Cheaper than buying theirs.
