Remote Audio Hi-Q98

The Remote Audio Hi-Q98 is a 98 Wh, 14.4 V lithium-ion smart battery made to power a location sound bag or cart for a full shooting day. It feeds recorders, mixers, wireless receivers and other DC-powered gear through a Remote Audio battery cup, cable or distribution box.

As a smart battery, the Hi-Q98 keeps track of its own voltage, current and charge cycles, and a compatible device can display that information. Instead of guessing how much power is left, the sound mixer can check the real state of the battery and plan the swap before it becomes urgent. One battery like this can replace a pile of small camera-style batteries in a bag, which means fewer cables and fewer changes during takes.

At 98 Wh, it stays under the 100 Wh limit that airlines use for lithium batteries in carry-on luggage, which makes it practical for productions that travel. Rent it in Montréal for long days on set, alongside the cup or cable that fits your bag.
