Any battery that fits to a Gold mount or V-lock can in principle be used on the respective battery adapter of ALEXA. For all of those batteries, ALEXA can measure and display the battery’s voltage. Please note that Anton/Bauer recommends against using the following battery types with ALEXA since they would have short run-times and are not rated to handle such power requirements, which could reduce their life expectancy: ProPac 14, Digital ProPac 14, TrimPac 14, Digital TrimPac 14, HyTRON 50, DIONIC 90. Also note that the PAG-L190e is so wide that it obscures access to the connectors on ALEXA’s back/right side. For Anton/Bauer and IDX batteries ALEXA can communicate directly with the battery and display the battery capacity in percentage, which is a more accurate measure of how much longer the battery will last, especially with Lithium-ion batteries. We are working on increasing the number of V-lock batteries ALEXA can communicate with.
