Battery solutions for BT-LH1700W?

[Derrick_SA]

Hi there,

What do I need to get to power the BT-LH1700W from battery power on set?

I saw this,

but is there other solutions?

Someone posted a while back they hooked theirs up to a http://www.dolgin.net/VDoubler.htm and it worked for about 2 hours.

I'm thinking of getting one (BT-LH1700W) and was thinking of getting the V-Doubler, but now I think I may go with the Anton Batts, because they are more of an industry standard and sooner or later I'm going to have to make the purchase.

I just hang a Bescor Belt on it and I get an hour and half off one. At a 89.00 it's a steal.

Could I ask which model you use.

I do the same thing, mine is the PRB-12XLRNC. Has XLR for powering the monitor, and a cigarette lighter too. Weighs a ton, but drives the monitor for about 8 hours. I think it cost around $110 when I got it years ago.

This belt is considered a "12 Amp" belt. Since the monitor draws 1.5 amps, you can calculate runtime by dividing the amp-hours by the amps used. 12 amps / 1.5 draw = 8 hours runtime.
