Anton Bauer & Sony V-Mount Battery Comparison

Yes. Several Block Battery products are multi-mount compatible. The Protean battery supports Gold Mount, Gold Mount Plus, B-Mount, and V-Lock configurations. The SLi-300 also works with Gold, V, and B-Mount eliminator plates, eliminating the need to carry separate battery types for different camera systems on set.

For most smaller cinema cameras, a 304Wh battery like the SLi-300 provides over two hours of runtime. For high-demand full-day shoots, the SLi-D600 at 608Wh or the SLi-D1000 at 970Wh are recommended. Batteries can also be linked together to further expand capacity as production needs grow.

Yes. The Protean splits into two electrically isolated 75Wh batteries for carry-on compliance. The SLi-D600 and SLi-D1000 feature disassemblable designs to meet airline lithium battery transport regulations. The Logos 150 G is subject to standard DOT, IATA, and IMO lithium-ion transport regulations as a non-disassemblable unit.

Yes. The SLi-D600 and SLi-D1000 provide regulated 28V DC output, making them compatible with 28V cameras such as the Canon EOS C400 and 26V Gold Mount Plus systems. The Protean also supports 28V configurations via its 28G and 28B mount settings alongside standard 14V operation.

UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) mode allows a battery to charge and power connected devices simultaneously without any interruption to the power supply. This is critical on film sets where cameras, lights, or monitors cannot be switched off mid-take. The SLi-D600, SLi-D1000, and SLi-300 all support this feature.

Yes. The SLi-D600, SLi-D1000, and SLi-300 all support battery linking, allowing multiple units to be connected for significantly increased total capacity. This is particularly useful for high-demand productions powering large cinema cameras, high-wattage LED lights, or multiple accessories requiring sustained power over extended shooting days.

The Protean is Block Battery's most versatile option, functioning as five power solutions in one compact, lightweight package. It supports Gold Mount, Gold Mount Plus, B-Mount, and V-Lock configurations, and operates at both 14V and 28V. It also splits into two 75Wh carry-on-compliant batteries, making it ideal for productions that work across multiple camera systems and travel frequently.
