FAQ

What batteries are recommended for location work with the LS 300d II?

Aputure recommends one or two 14.4V V-Mount or Gold Mount batteries of 190Wh or more that can discharge 14 to 15A continuously. One battery runs the LS 300d II at up to half output; two batteries give full output.

Should I choose a V-Mount or Gold Mount control box?

Aputure made the LS 300d II control box with V-Mount or Anton Bauer Gold Mount plates, 9.67 cm and 8.73 cm deep respectively. This replacement is pictured with V-Mount plates, so use it with V-Mount batteries.

Can I use 26V batteries on the LS 300d II control box?

No. Aputure specifies 14.4V batteries for the LS 300d II and warns that higher-voltage batteries will likely damage the light and cause malfunctions that need internal repair.
