[LS 60x] Powering from Batteries

LS 60X Power Supply FAQs

ARE ALL D-TAP BATTERIES COMPATIBLE WITH LS 60 LIGHTS?

The LS 60x have a max power draw of 90W. So as long as the battery can support 90W output via its D-Tap port the battery will be compatible.

DO ALL SONY NP-F BATTERIES WORK WITH THE LS 60 SERIES?

Most Sony NP-F batteries we have tested work with the LS 60x. Some Sony NP-F batteries have a hardware limitation that does not let them discharge an adequate amount of power to satisfy the power draw of the LS 60x. As there are many versions of these batteries on the market now, it is difficult to pinpoint which batteries have this limitation.

IS THE 60X COMPATIBLE WITH THE 2-BAY BATTERY POWER STATION?

No. The 2BBPS uses 2X V/Gold mount batteries and boosts the voltage to output a 48V DC current. The 60x utilizes DC power directly via D-Tap connection or the included Sony NP-F battery plate.

WHAT POWER SOLUTIONS ARE INCLUDED WITH THE LIGHT?

In addition to the AC power supply with V-Mount bracket, the LS 60x comes with a D-Tap Power Cable, and an Intelligent Dual NP-F Battery Plate.

ARE THE POWER SOLUTIONS WEATHERPROOF AS WELL?

The power accessories, such as the AC power supply, NP-F Battery Plate, and most D-Tap batteries are not weatherproof. They connect to the weather-resistant lamp head via a weatherproof DC power connector, but the individual power solutions are not. Some manufacturers, however, do produce weather-resistant batteries.

WHAT IS THE ESTIMATED RUNTIME OF THE LS 60X WITH A 98WH D-TAP BATTERY?

Estimated Runtime: 1 Hour+ | 98Wh/90W = 1.089Hr - (Heat/Efficiency Loss) ~ 1 Hour

WHAT IS THE ESTIMATED RUNTIME OF THE LS 60X WITH A 198WH D-TAP BATTERY?

Estimated Runtime: 2.1 Hours+ | 198Wh/90W = 2.2Hr - (Heat/Efficiency Loss) ~ 2-2.1 Hours+

WHAT IS THE ESTIMATED RUNTIME OF THE LS 60X WITH 2X NP-F970 BATTERIES?

Estimated Runtime: 1 Hour | With 2X 6600mAh NP-F970 Batteries, the LS 60x could theoretically operate at full power for approximately 1 hour. | Wh = mAh × V / 1000 | 6600mAh x 7.2V = 47,520mWh / 1000 = 47.52Wh => 47.52Wh x 2 = 95.04Wh @ 14.4V => 95Wh/90W = 1.056Hr
