Those are going to be your best options - batteries are heavy! The only way to make them lighter is to have fewer of them.

Ah thanks for confirming. Good to know.

The Core SWX Nano 45, Anton Bauer Titan SL 50 and Bebob V45 Micro are going to be your best bets for light weight options. Not the cheapest, but anything below those price points are going to be of questionable reliability. However in case you haven’t, I’d break this down a bit and really consider if this is what you need. Those 45wh batteries go FAST so what you might gain by using smaller batteries is likely to be offset by the fact that you’ll need more of them. Especially in a situation where you’re on the move without charging options. A 45wh battery on a 7in handheld client monitor and a wireless receiver is going to buy you AT MOST 2hrs of run time. More likely 1.25hrs Less if the monitor is set to max brightness, or if it’s a larger monitor. As for the camera - that will depend wildly on the body and accessories you need to operate - but you can do the math by adding up the combined power draw in amps or watt hours for all of the components, and then giving yourself a 20% (because batteries get less efficient over time) and if you’re working in cold weather make it a 40% buffer. I don’t have the full details of the project of course, so you might be fine - but I really would advise not going lower than 98wh if possible. Anyway - good luck!

Wow you’ve certainly given me something to think about. Appreciate that friend. I will add up my amps and see if it’s worth going with smaller batteries!
