mike laureys Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 hey boys and girls, on the movie I am doing now we are using an alexa 26v with a codex,cmotion,boxx meridian and I thought this was a little much powering this from the 2 powercubes so I put a 26v battery plate on the bottom of my ultra2 so I could put the camera battery on the bottom bud for a ultra2 this not easy.from the moment I did this my electronics were a bit confused after I had to do reload on the 26v battery the codex did not want to power up every time....I ended up putting back the battery on the alexa. after this movie my rig is going back and see if there is a solution..... so I think I am saying DO NOT TRY THIS ON A ULTRA2 best mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Jens Piotrowski SOC Posted April 18, 2012 Author Premium Members Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 The XCS Ultimate 2 is the only rig that is currently factory ready for 26 V batteries....The U1 can be rewired to work with 26V batts......but you will loose some features.....

Premium Members Jens Piotrowski SOC Posted April 19, 2012 Author Premium Members Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Or the PRO. can you explain? in what mode, 12V or 24V? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Afton Grant Posted April 19, 2012 Premium Members Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 12V mode. It's just wires, so whatever battery you hook up will feed the corresponding connectors. Just be careful to not fry any 12V only accessories that might be on the same circuit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Members Jerry Holway Posted April 19, 2012 Premium Members Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Curious- the original Ultra had nominally 24 V batteries (28.8) so what would be lost if one swapped out the mount? Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
