Anton/Bauer has announced the launch of the VCLX LI 1600, the latest addition to their award-winning VCLX range. This new block battery designed for the film industry delivers 1600Wh, more than double the power of last year’s VCLX NM2, while being lighter at just 25.5 lbs, meaning it’s far easier to move around set to where the power is needed. The VCLX LI 1600 offers multi-voltage output (14.4V, 28V, and 48V) via two XLR4 outputs and one XLR3, providing you with the performance needed for high-current demand devices such as cameras, monitors, and lighting equipment.
Key Features and Specifications:
1600Wh Capacity: Powers devices like the ARRI ALEXA 35 rig for up to 5.3 hours.
Multi-Voltage Output: 14.4V, 28V, and 48V via XLR3 and XLR4 outputs.
Lightweight and Durable: Weighs 25.5 lbs with an anodized aluminium chassis and IP65-rated weatherproof case.
Silent Operation: Passive cooling technology eliminates fan noise.
Advanced Monitoring: 2.4″ colour LCD screen for real-time runtime, charge time, and power draw.
Smart Technology: Onboard diagnostics and fleet management via WiFi or USB.
“Our goal is to support the dynamic needs of cinematic production by continually innovating power technology,”
Andrew Hutton, Head of Products at Anton/Bauer.
“The VCLX LI 1600 embodies this commitment by offering exceptional power, a durable design, and advanced safety features, providing reliable and efficient power solutions for any production environment.”
Andrew Hutton, Head of Products at Anton/Bauer.
The VCLX LI 1600 is designed without an internal charger to minimize heat buildup. This helps extend battery lifespan and eliminate noisy cooling fans, which are a distraction on set. The external charger reduces the risk of unit failure, maximizing investment longevity and equipment uptime. Built-in fleet management capabilities allow users to download vital information, enabling engineers to keep on top of the battery condition and maintenance.
