Just received my other two batteries. Now I have a nice 3pc LED light kit on all battery power. These will work on either my 600s or 900 LED panels (Video Test Here). These batteries won't work on the 1200 LED Panels (found here) because those run on 24V.
Besides using these for the 600 / 900 LED light Panels, there are several people who use them to power up accessories on their DSLR rigs. I'm waiting for some special mounts from CPMCameraRigs.com. They design a snap package that mounts to standard 15mm rails. Coupled with a special secondary battery. You can check out some of the mounting options over at their website (click here).

Literally just two days after posting about the Tekkeon back in stock, it was sold out and back on backorder status. Today I just checked (while writing this article) and it's back in stock again! These things are hot, and they'll be sold out again very quickly. Cheapest place i've found them is at B&H (click here).

Has anyone connected this battery to the Ikan 500 LED banks with success? I need a cable to do it but I'm not sure what I need.

Ever tried out the Energizer XP18000
?
I'm considering getting one to power a Zoom H4n, an Eng-44 field mixer and possibly some Z96 leds. Still not sure if it supplies the right voltage and the right plugs.
Anyone?

Post author@Kyle - I believe the 'i' stands for industrial. Built to be stronger.

Emm, what is the difference between the MP3450 and the MP3450i ?

=> I'm actually thinking maybe I should get more than one, but I'll try it out first. I'm renting lots of lighting, and am still trying to decide (for purchasing) between those "Like Arri" tungstens, the Linco Floras, or go LED. Still not digging that the LEDs don't throw as much light as I'd like.

Post author@DigitalCyclops - You won't regret it. It's a great versatile battery pack.

Thanks for updating us on the special Emm. I went for it. =>

Post author@Chris - With Rosco Litepads, yes. Use 12V setting. You can even split the power.
Chris
They will work with the Litepads right?

Really great post, Emm. I am ordering a pair of 900's in the next week or two ... this will be a great power supply.
