Global Dynamics United (GDU) has released new 98 Wh, 14.8V Mini V-Lock batteries that have an industry first, machined aluminium back.
The entire back casing is machined out of a solid piece of 6061 aluminium making it both durable and acts as a heatsink during high amp charging.
Ports & Comms
The batteries have 1 D-Tap port and 1 USB 5V/2A port with rubber covers on each port.
For RED users, the battery also has data communication so the cameras will show runtime minutes on the display.
Four LED lights also indicate remaining capacity on the batteries.
As they are under 100Wh, they are safe for carry-on and within TSA limits.
GDU states that they are using Dynacore electronics with Japanese cells.
The batteries retail for $220 USD and are available in anodized red or black.
