The IDX System Technology SL-VBD96 70Wh Lithium-Ion Battery with VW-VBD Series is a Lithium-Ion pack for any camera that takes VW-VBD Series batteries, offering 70 Wh capacity. It sits under the 100 Wh mark, so airline rules allow it in carry-on without prior approval.
Key Features
70 Wh Capacity
Holds 70 Wh, which is what sets both how long it runs and how it may be carried on a flight.
VW-VBD Series
Fits any device or plate built for a VW-VBD Series battery, so it interchanges with every other pack on that mount.
7.2 V Output
Supplies 7.2 V through the mount, which is the level the cameras and accessories on this system expect.
Lithium-Ion
Built on Lithium-Ion cells, which is what sets its weight, its charge behaviour and the rules for shipping it.
Accessory Outputs
Carries an X-Tap output, Core SWX's higher-current take on the D-Tap, for accessories that draw more than a D-Tap allows.
25 W Maximum Draw
Sustains a 25 W draw, so a camera and its accessories can run from the one battery.
Carry-On Approved
Under 100 Wh, the threshold below which IATA rules let a spare battery travel in carry-on without asking the airline first.
