Marc Wielage Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 That will work! The advantage of the 6800ma Chinese-made batteries is that they're lower profile and not nearly as high. On the other hand: I had two older ones swell up over a period of several weeks, which may be due to the long hours we spent in a lot of heat (95 degrees+). The newer batteries have been fine, and I just ordered another as a replacement. The Sony Lithium-type batteries are rock solid, charge quickly, and are a lot sturdier... but also cost more and are heavier, in my experience.

markfarrowaudiopost Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 I had my cheap Chinese battery charger blow it shot a shock back down the power and blew up my HDMI ports on my avid mojo and a black magic pcie card. Batteries a great, but buy a better power supply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markfarrowaudiopost Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 $9 is cheaper! The LiOn batteries I pictured above also hold their charges for a long time. I powered my mixpre-d for nearly 16 hours with those $30 Batteries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
