About the Juicebox JB-JBVB-01 Lithium-Ion Battery with D-Tap Charger (150Wh, V-Mount)
The Juicebox JB-JBVB-01 is a high-capacity, 150-watt-hour lithium-ion battery pack designed for professional film, video, and lighting applications that utilize the universal V-Mount (V-Lock) interface. This battery provides a substantial and reliable power reservoir for demanding equipment such as cinema cameras, broadcast camcorders, monitor/recorder combos, and powerful LED lights, enabling extended shoot times without the need for frequent swaps. Its 150Wh rating represents a significant energy density, offering a balance between runtime and weight, making it a versatile choice for both studio setups and location shoots where power access is limited. The battery incorporates advanced lithium-ion cell technology and a sophisticated Battery Management System (BMS) that ensures safe operation by protecting against overcharge, over-discharge, short circuits, and overheating, while also balancing the cells to maintain performance and longevity over hundreds of charge cycles.
A key feature of this package is the inclusion of a dedicated D-Tap charger. This charger allows for convenient recharging of the battery directly via its D-Tap (also known as P-Tap) output port, a common connector on many camera accessories and third-party chargers. This provides an alternative to charging through the main V-Mount contacts and offers flexibility in the field. The battery itself is constructed with a durable, impact-resistant casing that protects the internal components from the rigors of production use. An integrated LCD screen or LED fuel gauge provides a clear, real-time readout of remaining capacity, voltage, and estimated runtime, allowing camera assistants and DITs to manage power inventory accurately and plan for battery changes proactively.
The battery outputs power through multiple ports to support various devices simultaneously. In addition to the main V-Mount plate contacts (typically providing ~14.8V), it includes at least one regulated D-Tap output (often 12V or 14.8V) for powering accessories like monitors, wireless video transmitters, or follow focus systems directly. Many models also feature a USB-A port for charging low-power devices such as smartphones or memory card readers. For production crews seeking a powerful, feature-rich, and reliable V-Mount battery solution, the Juicebox JB-JBVB-01 package delivers the necessary capacity, safety features, and convenient charging to keep critical equipment operational throughout demanding production schedules.
