Anton Bauer Battery

* Batteries: Voltage 12-16.8V; Recommended ≥15A continuous discharge.

* The 300d II can be operated using a single battery for up to half of the fixture's maximum output. Plugging the light into AC power or using two batteries allows you to utilize the light's full output. When powering the light from a single battery, you must install the battery on the right side of the control box, or it will not turn on.

* Do not use non-14.4v batteries (batteries with voltages outside of the 12-16.8V range). Using higher voltage batteries will damage the power supply and the lighting fixture.

* Only use batteries that support the necessary continuous current discharge specifications mentioned above. If non-compatible batteries are used, the batteries will enter a protection state and the lighting fixture will not operate as intended.

* Customers can choose V-Mount or A-Mount battery plates for their control boxes upon purchase according to their needs.
