Hey guys, simple question... does anyone know if I can power the Kessler Basic Controller (Kessler elektraDRIVE BASIC Controller (http://store.kesslercrane.com/elektradrive-basic-controller-mc1005.html)) with this v-lock battery (V-Gear VG-130S Hi-Performance Li-Ion Camera Battery - Jetlinks (http://www.jetlinks.tv/batteries-chargers/90-v-gear-vg-130s.html?search_query=130&results=4)) using a d-tap to DC cable?

I don't have a technical enough background to know if the power ratings on both accessories are okay with each other.

Cheers,
Rob 🍻

For anyone's who's interested, I also chased Kessler on this and got a reply:

You should not have any problem using the d-tap to 12VDC barrel cable (http://store.kesslercrane.com/second-shooter-d-tap-to-12vdc-connector-cable.html) as long as your battery meets these specs:

- 11.9VDC to 15VDC
- 4.16 amps (minimum)

Hope this helps, let us know if you have any questions.

No need to go and buy additional batteries after all... 👍
