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.
