Overview

The Aputure 2-Bay Battery Power Station (V-Mount) solves a common problem for video professionals and photographers who need to run power-hungry LED fixtures on location. By combining two standard 14.4V V-Mount batteries, the station converts their output to a stable 48V DC current delivered through a 3-pin XLR connector, capable of pushing up to 480W at 10 amps. This is enough to run fixtures like the Amaran 300c or Nova P300c at full output without being tethered to a wall outlet or generator.

The design prioritizes portability and speed of setup. A built-in Aputure Lighting Clamp Quick Release Plate lets you mount the station directly onto stands and rigging hardware, while the included carrying strap makes it easy to transport between setups. At just over four and a half pounds (before batteries), it keeps your kit manageable for run-and-gun work, ENG shoots, or remote locations where every pound counts. The use of industry-standard V-Mount batteries means you can leverage existing battery inventory rather than investing in proprietary power solutions.
