IDX VL-2X - Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion)

Running out of power on set can bring production to a halt. The IDX VL-2X solves that by charging two V-Mount lithium-ion batteries simultaneously, while also serving as a DC power source for cameras and accessories when batteries are not in the bays. This dual-channel charger is built for professionals who need reliable, fast, and safe power management in the studio or on location.

Who is it for

The VL-2X is ideal for videographers, cinematographers, and broadcast crews using V-Mount batteries. It suits anyone who needs to keep multiple batteries ready and also power equipment directly from AC mains. Whether you're in a studio, on a film set, or at an event, this charger ensures your gear stays powered.

Main features

• Simultaneous charging of two V-Mount lithium-ion batteries
• Dedicated 4-pin XLR DC output for powering cameras or accessories (15V, 4.5A) when not charging

Tips

For fastest turnaround, charge two batteries overnight and use the XLR output during the day to power your camera directly from AC. Always ensure the charger is placed on a flat, ventilated surface to maintain optimal cooling. The VL-2X is not a travel charger; it is designed for stationary use near a power outlet.
