Block Battery offers the DFC Charger for V-Mount and B-Mount block battery systems, and the D-Tap Charger for on-the-go charging via D-Tap connections. A rapid charger option is available upon inquiry for the SLi-D1000 and SLi-D600. The PSU-185 18.5V charger is also available as a standalone accessory for SLi-series batteries.
