Production Power
The versatile VCLX range includes the 600Wh VCLX NM2 and the 1600Wh VCLX LI. Both units deliver consistent power at 14.4V, 28V, and 48V, meeting the high-current demands of cameras and lights for optimal performance in cinematic productions.
Designed to endure the rigors of set life, their advanced battery management technology extends battery life while protecting your equipment.
Built Better
Rugged and reliable for perfect performance, VCLX NM2 and VCLX LI are designed to withstand the rigors of set life, grip trucks, and shipping cases. The portable power stations are engineered from tough anodized aluminum with over-molded end caps and handle grips. Passive cooling ensures no fan noise on set, while their sealed, IP65 rated weatherproof cases guarantee true go-anywhere power.
Accurate Intelligence
Monitor remaining runtime, charge time or active power draw at a glance with the 2.4” color LCD screen. Perform real-time onboard diagnostics to keep your battery and equipment performing perfectly. Focus on the action on set while VCLX smart technology calculates everything being powered via XLR3, XLR4 or USB for maximum power efficiency.
Safe & (no) Sound
VCLX NM2 and VCLX LI are designed without internal chargers. This separation of components minimizes heat buildup, safeguarding the cells and extending their lifespan.
No internal charger also means no noisy cooling fans or vents for silent running. An external charger avoids the risk of a full unit failure due to a single component malfunction, maximizing your investment and keeping your equipment running smoothly.
Power All Day
With over 1600Wh of power, VCLX LI keeps the ARRI ALEXA 35 (135W Draw) running up to 11.8 hours, maximising camera up-time on set and reducing the need for extra batteries and battery swaps.

Fleet Management
The Anton/Bauer VCLX NM2 and VCLX LI come with fleet management built in, enabling you to download all of the vital information via WiFi or USB in an instant. Anton/Bauer’s fleet management software will instantly tell you the learned capacity of the battery, the number of cycles that it has run, the percentage charge of the unit and if there are any errors these will be clearly highlighted and time stamped enabling quick triage and rectification. All of this means that your fleet of VCLX units will spend less time in your building and more time on set.
1600Wh free-standing battery
The ultimate portable power solution for off grid productions. This robust floor battery packs an impressive 1600Wh capacity, offering over twice the power of the VCLX NM2 while being lighter at just 25.5 lbs. It delivers multi-voltage output (14.4V, and 28V,or 48V) from 2 XLR4 outputs and one XLR3, to seamlessly power cameras, monitors, and lighting equipment. The VCLX LI features a 2.4″ LCD screen for real-time monitoring, smart electronic fuses, and built-in Wi-Fi for easy data management via Anton/Bauer Fleet Management software. Designed with a durable, IP65-rated anodized aluminum chassis, it’s built to withstand demanding environments, making it the perfect power source for any production.
600Wh free-standing battery
With unique Multi-Voltage Output the VCLX NM2 is the perfect all-in-one battery solution for power hungry cameras, monitors, lights and more. One XLR3 and two XLR4 connectors provide multiple high current output delivering consistent 24A current at 14.4V, 16A at 28V or 12A at 48V from the 600Wh NiMH battery.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I fly with the VCLX NM2/LI?
The VCLX NM2 is a NiMH battery and can be taken as hand luggage or placed into the hold of an aircraft. Because it is a NiMH battery there is no need to discharge it so it will be at 100% charged and ready to go when you get off your flight.
Due to its Lithium chemistry, at 1600Wh, the VCLX LI is above the capacity permitted to be taken onboard a commercial flight.
How long does it take to charge the VCLX NM2/LI?
The VCLX NM2 charges from 0 to 100% in 3.5 hours (with Firmware 2.1 installed).
The higher-capacity VCLX Li charges from 0 to 100% in 8 hours.
Is the VCLX IP rated?
Both the VCLX NM2 & LI are IP65 rated.
