The Block Battery alternative to the 96Wh PAGlink V-Mount Batteries

A PAGlink V-Mount battery is a professional lithium power pack that attaches to cameras and equipment via a V-Lock slide-on interface. It delivers stable DC power at 14V or 28V, supporting a wide range of cinema, broadcast, and ENG/EFP devices. PAGlink-compatible systems allow multiple batteries to be linked together for extended runtimes on demanding productions.

Yes. Lithium batteries under 100Wh are generally permitted as carry-on items on commercial flights without airline approval. At 96Wh, these batteries meet standard IATA and TSA carry-on regulations. Always check with your specific airline before travel, as individual carrier policies may vary regarding quantity limits and packaging requirements.

V-Mount (V-Lock) batteries use a sliding V-shaped interface common on Sony and many European-market cameras, while Gold Mount batteries use a three-stud connection system prevalent on Anton Bauer and North American broadcast equipment. Block Battery's multi-mount solutions bridge both standards, allowing productions to power cameras and accessories across both ecosystems without carrying separate battery types.

96Wh V-Mount batteries are compatible with professional cinema and broadcast cameras such as Sony FX9, RED, and Canon cinema cameras, as well as on-camera lights, monitors, and accessories rated up to 150W. Block Battery's multi-mount design also supports Gold Mount and B-Mount equipment for maximum versatility across production gear.

Runtime depends on your equipment's power draw. A 96Wh battery powering a camera drawing 30W will last approximately 3 hours. At 50W draw, expect roughly 1.5 to 2 hours. Accessories like on-camera monitors and lights increase total draw, reducing runtime. Using 28V mode on supported equipment can improve efficiency on higher-wattage cinema cameras.

Dual voltage means the battery can output both 14V and 28V power, allowing it to serve a broader range of professional equipment. Some cinema cameras and accessories require 26V–28V for optimal performance, while others operate on standard 14V. Block Battery's dual-voltage design lets productions switch configurations quickly, eliminating the need to carry separate battery units for different voltage requirements.

Yes. V-Mount batteries with D-Tap outputs can power a wide range of on-set lighting, monitors, follow focus systems, and other accessories. Block Battery's cinema battery supports loads from 0 to 150 watts, making it suitable for LED panels, on-camera lights, and other production accessories commonly used on film and broadcast sets.
