Q: 1. Can I use this battery for aputure lightstorm?

A: Yes these batteries can be used on the Aputure Light Storm LS1C or LS 1/2W LED panels which have a V mount interface.

Q: 2. Will a v-mount battery on this charger power a different brand light, specifically an Aputure LED light (Amaran 200D) via XLR cable? Looking to power in remote location, no AC plugs.

A: The charger in that kit is Dracast DR-CH2V Dual V-Mount Battery Charger. It is made to charge batteries. With batteries in the charger it does not plug into any light. But it can charge different V mount batteries.

Q: 3. Does this battery not come with a charger? And if that is the case, do I really need to spend another $200+ on a charger (I see there is a dual charger recommended)?

A: There is a cheaper charger: https://a href= http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1166058-REG/indipro_tools_pd1013_pro_battery_charger_for.html/pageID/accessory target= _blank www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1166058-REG/indipro_tools_pd1013_pro_battery_charger_for.html/pageID/accessory/aIt's annoying that you don't get the charger with the battery - even more annoying that if you buy the Dracast 500 light panel kit, you get the battery and not the charger (but you do when you buy the 1000 kit). Which you don't discover until you try to use it on a shoot...

Q: 4. What's the difference between Gold Mount and V-Mount? Any particular pro(s) of one over the other?

A: As previously agreed, the Gold Mount is a bit more secure. The V mount is now more prevalent, and there may be more choices or options with a V mount. --- Also, if you have any other technical or product related questions, feel free to contact us directly at any time at info@dracobroadcast.com.

Q: 5. Can you fly with these batteries without them being over the security limit?

A: If you plan on flying with these batteries, the BEST way would be to have them connected to either a charger or a light. When the batteries are not connected, the fear is that the terminals will arc onto each other, start a fire, and kill everyone on board the airplane. If the battery is connected to something (charger or light), then that cannot happen, and so they can be packed into luggage. I would recommend letting the airline know that you are flying with these batteries, but they are connected, so there is nothing to worry about. // Also, if there are any other technical or product related questions, feel free to contact us directly at any time at support@dracobroadcast.com.

Q: 6. Can the DC out be used to power a light with the batteries fully charged and connected? Or does the unit need to be plugged in and free of batteries to operate that way?

A: No, the charger can function as a portable AC to DC power adapter, taking the AC power input and outputting 15 VDC at 4A via a 4-pin XLR connector. The output is only active when no batteries are attached.

Q: 7. Does the dracast battery work with a red one

A: There is no information stating this can work with RED camera protocols.

Q: 8. Can these batteries be charged through the lights?

A: No they can't

Q: 9. How long will the battery run the light at full power?

A: One Watt-hour (Wh) will run one Watt for one hour. The LED500 Pro requires 30 Watts. So one 90 Wh battery will run that light for around three hours at full power. // Also, if there are any other technical or product related questions, feel free to contact us directly at any time at support@dracobroadcast.com.

Q: 10. Will this Dracast v-mount battery work with the Sony FS7 XDCA?
