Watson Pro Cine HCS Overview
Compact Design
Smaller cinema cameras benefit from the compact design of the Watson Pro Cine batteries. The shorter overall design sits in line with compact camera bodies, providing lower clearance for handles and complex rigs.
Accessory Ports
Not only will the Watson Pro Cine battery power your camera or light, accessories can be powered simultaneously using the built-in D-tap and USB ports. The D-tap can output 12V at up to 10 amps for lens control systems, on-camera lighting, or other accessory. The USB port outputs 5V at 1 amp and can be useful to charge on-set electronics or mobile devices.
LED Status Indicator
Press the check button on the rear and LEDs will illuminate to indicate the current battery capacity.
Intelligent Circuitry
Intelligent circuitry constantly analyzes battery load and temperature, and will shut down to prevent damage from overloading, overheating, and short-circuiting.

Watson Pro Cine HCS Reviews
Long life; worth the money.
By Neill
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2025-01-09
We use these in pairs to power an Arri Alexa when mains power is not available. We've had a number of different brands of batteries over the years but we've found the Watson VM-99 to have the longest life. We currently have one example that is 6 years old and has had hundreds of charging cycles and it still takes and holds a full charge.
Works great with my Aputure!

I have an Aputure 300d II, and this battery powers it at full power with no problem. I've only used it for an hour, but the battery didn't even go down one notch in that hour. I will buy another and I'm certain they will last all day.

It will depend on the light. The USB port outputs 5V at 1 amp. It should charge most devices (albeit slowly), but depending on the power consumption of the light, it might not be enough to fully power it.
