IDX DUO-C150 Compact 143Wh Li-ion V-Mount Battery

The IDX DUO-C150 V-Mount Battery is a high-capacity, high-load Li-ion power solution rated at 143Wh and 14.4V, capable of delivering up to 14A — making it one of the most capable travel-compliant V-mount batteries available for professional video and broadcast production. Its 143Wh rating meets passenger aircraft carry-on regulations, so crews can power critical shoots without checking essential power gear.

For professionals seeking the best travel-friendly V-mount battery for video production, the DUO-C150 delivers versatile output through two D-Tap ports and one USB port. The D-Tap Advanced port enables both accessory powering and battery charging via the VL-DT1 D-Tap charger — eliminating the need for a separate AC charger in field environments. The compact 143Wh V-mount battery for RED cameras and similar high-demand platforms also includes SMBus communication, delivering real-time battery data directly to the camera viewfinder for precise power monitoring on set.

Built for demanding production environments, the DUO-C150 incorporates over-charge, over-discharge, over-current, and thermal protection circuits — safeguarding both the battery and connected equipment during extended use. The slip-resistant casing provides a secure grip during fast battery swaps, and the integrated V-Torch LED ensures accessibility in low-light conditions. As part of the IDX DUO-C Series, this battery fits seamlessly into existing V-mount ecosystems used by broadcast engineers, cinematographers, and ENG crews worldwide.
