Simon Bengtsson Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Hi! Im working on a feature in sweden and we are going to Ibiza to shoot some scenes. I have some questions regarding Blueshape V-lock batteries, I know that the limit is 160wh. However, the Airline asked me if the batteries contained gel or were dry. Iv'e been looking through blueshapes MSDS and couldn't find anything stating if it were any of that. The rental company doesn't know either. I'm looking into renting all batteries locally for convenience but this was the first time I got that question so I'm thinking it would be good to know in the future. Bonus question: Have long does a blueshape 150 wh battery last with a alexa mini, a tvlogic vfm56 and a teradek bolt? All the best!

Premium Member Phil Rhodes Posted September 21, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted September 21, 2015 I assume what they're trying to acertain is if they're lead acid gel cells, which they aren't. 50 watts for the camera, depending on frame rate. 12 for the display. 8 for the TX. 160 watt-hour batteries. 160 divided by 70. Two and a bit hours, on paper. Rely on one and a half, assuming the batteries are in good condition. P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Drysdale Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Best check out the regulations for transporting Lithium ion batteries by air. They're pretty tight. https://www.paguk.com/content/air-transportation-li-ion-batteries-0 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
