Third Party V-Mount Compatibility

We have tested specific competitor V-Mount batteries and verified their compatibility (see table below).
However, there is no guarantee that the Performance Series Charger can charge any third party battery to 100% full capacity.
The list below does not constitute all of the potential compatible batteries, therefore it is the recommendation of Vitec Videocom to utilize Anton/Bauer batteries solely with compatible Anton/Bauer chargers to avoid any potential performance degradation.
