Which battery systems will work with Vortex?

There are many battery systems which can be used to power the Vortex fixtures.  The Vortex have the option to limit the maximum power draw when using batteries, to allow smaller batteries to be used without overloading them.  This can be accessed under 'Fixture Settings->Battery Power Limit' on the Vortex unit.

  • Maximum power draw for Vortex8: 660W, 13.75A
  • Maximum power draw for Vortex4: 330W, 6.9A
  • Required Voltage: 48V DC (allowable range 45-50V)

 

One popular option is the BeBob Cube, which can provide up to 480W.  If using with a Vortex8, the "Battery Power Limit" option (under 'Fixture Settings' Menu on the Vortex) should be set to 480W to prevent overload on the battery.

The FXLION Sky 3 can provide up to 1000W of power, so can run a Vortex8 at 100% output.
