Battery Bud II Voltage


Vivid Lizard

Recommended Posts

I'm thinking of buying a Battery Bud II BDS and noticed that it's rated at 12-18v input.  My question is, what happens if/when the voltage from my battery source (12v, 8300 mAh, 99Wh) drops below 12v, say to 11v or even 10.5v?  Does the internal circuitry of the BB start to get wonky with the current below 12v?  I've sent that question to the nice folks at Cable Techniques, but also thought that the equally nice folks here might have something to say.

Thanks.

Just got word from Scott Boland at Cable Techniques... he says that it's more of a courtesy reminder in that 12v is the usual lower end for many pro devices, and that the BB II will still continue to do it's job on lower input voltages. My F8 works fine down to about 9v, HA3D down to 9v also, and my lectro 411's down to 10v.  The 12v 8300 mAh power source I use starts at about 12.3v and drops down to 11v very, very slowly, so I think I'm good for all day.
