Anton Bauer DIGITAL V90 – Camera Chains & Accessories

Runtime depends on actual load draw; the 93 Wh capacity at 14.4 V nominal supports up to 10 A continuous. The LCD display shows precise runtime in hours/minutes under load, accounting for real-world parasitic drain and temperature effects. A typical ENG chain (camera body ~3–5 A, wireless ~1–2 A, monitor ~1–1.5 A) will see 2–3 hours; verify by connecting your specific camera chain and reading the display before deployment. Carrying two batteries per operator is standard practice for full-day shoots.

V-Mount batteries are mechanistically parallel-compatible on dual-mount camera rigs; however, load-sharing depends on battery management system design within your camera or external power distribution unit. The DIGITAL V90's internal multi-sensor protection (temperature, over-current) operates per-battery. Anton Bauer does not publish internal impedance specs needed to guarantee equal current splitting. Best practice: use a dedicated V-Mount power distribution block rated for parallel input, or run independent batteries to separate devices. Confirm your camera's dual-mount behavior with its manufacturer.

The LP4 Quad V-Mount charger supports simultaneous charging of four DIGITAL V90 batteries. Exact charge time is not specified in the product data and varies by charger firmware and thermal management. Contact Anton Bauer technical support for the published curve (typically 50–90 minutes for full charge depending on input power and ambient temperature). Plan battery rotation for field operations: charge sets 1–2 overnight while using sets 3–4 during production.

The LCD display reports estimated runtime based on instantaneous load current and remaining capacity. Under transient loads exceeding nominal continuous rating, the estimate may temporarily fluctuate. The 10 A continuous specification defines sustained load; brief spikes above this are typical in ENG but will reduce available runtime. At low voltage (final 5–10% capacity), the display remains accurate but usable power drops sharply due to lithium chemistry voltage sag. Always respect the displayed time estimate as conservative; do not rely on the battery for critical moments below 15% charge.

The 10 A maximum continuous load is a thermal and internal cell limit. Exceeding it briefly (seconds) will not trip a fuse but will accelerate voltage sag, reducing effective output and potentially triggering low-voltage shutdown on your camera. The multi-sensor over-current protection is designed to protect the battery from damage, not to hard-cut the load. If your rig consistently exceeds 10 A, you need a second battery or lower-power accessories. Measure your actual draw (via power meter on P-Tap or camera specs) before deployment to confirm headroom.

The DIGITAL V90 is a standard 14.4 V V-Mount Li-ion pack and is backward-compatible with any equipment rated for V-Mount input. The anti-ringing filter is transparent to analog loads and legacy cameras. Verify your legacy camera supports lithium-ion chemistry (check manual or contact maker); some older rigs are optimized for NiCd or NiMH and may not charge or deliver optimal performance. The fuel gauge LCD only functions if your camera supports digital handshaking; analog gear will simply draw power without display feedback.
