Re: Anton Bauer Trim Pack (Battery) / XL1

While developing our AB configuration of the Power Brace, we tested the AB HyTron 50 (50wh) and the Proformer (30wh). They delivered exactly what they are rated for. The HyTron 50 run the camera for over 4 hours, the Proformer was over 2 h. The Trim Pack should run XL-1 for over 3 hour.
Try to hit the Standby button every time you stop the camera, as in "Pause" the XL-1 uses the same power as in "Record", effectively reducing the run time. Also, keep in mind that with XL-1, AF does not use any additional power, as it is electronic.
Another issue to consider is the quality of the DC converter you are using. A good one should be at least 90% efficient. If it does not run hot, it is probably OK.
Hope this helps,
