<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>A lot of good replies here, and the DeWalt solution seems to have been effective for many. I came up with something a little different.</DIV>
<DIV><A href="http://www.batteryspace.com/index.asp?PageAction=PRODSEARCH&txtSearch=BL-HD14I3WR&x=5&y=9">http://www.batteryspace.com/index.asp?PageAction=PRODSEARCH&txtSearch=BL-HD14I3WR&x=5&y=9</A></DIV>
<DIV>It's a fair bit larger than the DeWalts, and you can make a pretty clean installation with it. I used the fanny pack ( <A href="http://www.batteryspace.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=3195">http://www.batteryspace.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=3195</A> ) as a case and soldered a 4 pin xlr to the output cable. They also sell an easy to use fast charger that I have wired in with a Tamiya connector. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I also have a couple of bigger lead acid battery packs I made that aren't suitable for hand held use. I used a couple of 12v batteries wired in series for a 24v pack that I installed in a small boat battery housing. I got everything from Interstate Batteries, they have locations all over the country. I believe they have 6v sealed lead acid models too, so three of them in series will give you 18v. The lead-acid route is cheapest (I think my 24v packs were under $100 each), but they will also run the camera for a long time. I have clients running the camera, video assist and monitor for a day and a half on this set-up. The down side is they are heavy and take a while to charge. I installed the 4 pin xlr right in the case.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Everyone,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Forgive me if this has been covered ad nauseam, but I’ve searched the threads and have only been able to glean bits and snatches of data. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have two Kinor 35’s and am addressing these battery issues:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Has anyone successfully found or made a compact 16v NiCd rechargeable pack that would resemble a cinema pack—i.e. without using any duct tape or a Night Rider lunch box?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Is there a thread someone could direct me to as to how an XLR modification can be made on the camera for the power source?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Is it wise to exceed 15.6v (13 x 1.2v) to say possibly 16.8v (14 x 1.2v) ?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Again, sorry if this topic has been beat to death, but I just can’t seem to locate the appropriate threads.</FONT></DIV>
