Watson VM-98-MI Overview

The Watson Pro 14.4V 98Wh Micro V-Mount Battery combines functionality with a small form factor. Weighing only 1.1 lb, it's smaller and lighter than full-size 98Wh V-mount batteries but delivers up to 10A to power professional cameras and LED lights. The compact design solves the problems of weight and space and makes this battery a suitable choice for mobile and gimbal applications.

The battery offers multiple integrated accessory ports, including USB-C and USB-A, for powering and charging mobile devices, tablets, and laptops while you're on a shoot. A D-Tap port with a 14.4V output allows you to power a light or monitor simultaneously with your camera, or to power the camera itself. When you're ready to recharge the battery, you can use an optional V-mount charger or use the D-Tap, USB-C, or micro-USB ports to connect a power source.

A backlit LCD screen on the front of the battery activates at the press of a check button and confirms the remaining battery capacity and output voltage. A built-in intelligent control circuit protects against damage caused by current, voltage, temperature, or short-circuiting, ensuring safer operation.

Compact Design with 10A Output
The 98Wh Micro V-Mount Battery (14.4-14.8V) fits onto a standard V-mount plate and supports up to 10A of continuous draw from professional cameras, lights, and monitors that you would normally power with a full-size V-mount battery.
Multiple USB Connections
Phones and laptops can get drained during lengthy shoots. To keep you in touch and able to check messages and mail, the integrated USB-C and USB-A ports let you power and charge USB devices like laptop computers, smartphones, and tablets during your shoot.
D-Tap Connector
For added functionality, the battery is outfitted with a D-Tap port to power accessories like monitors or lights, whether independently or at the same time as your camera.
Backlit LED Status Display
A check button activates the backlit LCD screen and shows remaining battery capacity and output voltage, allowing you to prevent unexpected surprises that could interrupt your workflow.
Charging Options
The compact battery can be charged via an optional V-mount charger or using the D-Tap, USB-C, or micro-USB ports.
Intelligent Control Circuit
A built-in intelligent control circuit protects against damage caused by current, voltage, temperature, or short-circuiting.

Favorite battery. Smaller and lighter than others I own and easy to mount on rails - but I prefer handing from my belt.
