The Block Battery alternative to the IDX DUO-C95 Lithium-ion V-Mount Battery with Dual D-Tap

D-Tap (also called P-Tap) outputs are standardized 12V accessory power connectors on professional batteries. The DUO-C95 features dual D-Tap ports, allowing you to simultaneously power accessories such as wireless transmitters, monitors, or follow focus systems directly from the battery without additional adapters.

The IDX DUO-C95 uses the standard V-Mount (V-Lock) interface, making it broadly compatible with cameras and equipment designed for V-mount batteries, including models from Sony, Panasonic, and other major broadcast and cinema manufacturers that use V-mount battery plates.

The IDX DUO-C95 is well-suited for professional broadcast, ENG/EFP video production, cinematic film production, and lighting applications. Its dual D-Tap outputs and V-mount compatibility make it versatile for on-camera power as well as running accessories and small lighting fixtures in the field.

Lithium-ion batteries under 100Wh are generally permitted in carry-on luggage per FAA and IATA regulations without airline approval. At 95Wh, the IDX DUO-C95 falls under this threshold, making it travel-friendly for most domestic and international flights. Always verify current airline policies before traveling.

The IDX DUO-C95 requires a compatible V-mount charger. IDX offers a range of dedicated chargers designed for their battery lineup. It is recommended to use an IDX-approved charger to ensure proper charging cycles, battery longevity, and safe operation during professional production use.

The IDX DUO-C95 is designed to handle typical professional camera and accessory loads. Its dual D-Tap outputs provide 12V power for accessories, while the V-mount plate delivers regulated voltage to the camera.
