Which battery systems will work with Vortex?

When running on battery power, Vortex fixtures require a regulated 48V DC input. The acceptable input voltage range is 45–50V DC.

Most unregulated battery systems will have a fully charged voltage that exceeds this range, so it is important to use a battery system with a regulated 48V output.

The Vortex DC input includes over-voltage, under-voltage, and reverse polarity protection. If the input voltage is over 52V or under 45V, the unit will shut down without damage. The absolute maximum input voltage is 60V DC. Input voltage higher than this may cause damage.

When choosing a battery system, confirm that it can provide enough continuous output power for the fixture being used. If the battery system cannot provide the full power draw required by the fixture, the Battery Power Limit setting can be used to reduce the fixture’s maximum power draw.
