So I recently received my Nomad and based on the recommendations of a few people on this forum, decided to go with the Hawkwoods DVSQN4S to power my bag.
I tested it out on a shoot over the weekend and I am not getting the run time I was expecting and worse, I lost power during a take twice at a voltage on the battery meter that I shouldn't have.
I will readily admit that I am very green when it comes to battery chemistry and power distribution so, I don't know if I'm missing something obvious, but this is my understanding so far of my setup:
The Sony batteries I'm using are 7.2V and 7800mAh so I should be getting 14.4V
Nomad operates between 10 -18VDC
Hawkwoods DVSQN4S has 12V regulated output
Nomad displayed around 16.4V with fresh batts and would kick off around 14V on the meter.
I was only powering the Nomad.
Any ideas what is happening?
