Standard D-Tap chargers will take approximately 4 hours to charge the 150Wh battery.

Those indicate the charge of the battery. 4 bars, 25% charge each. If you have three bars left, you have approximately 75% charge left.

Users of 85 watt (85W) or higher power supplies may experience intermittent charging (trickle charging) based on application usage. To determine your power supply wattage, please look on the power brick or consult your manufacturer’s website.

First, determine the number of watts your device requires. Examine the user guide, the device itself, contact the company, or search online. To be compatible with the ONsite D-Tap to AC Power Supply, you should use devices that require less than 200W.

The ONsite D-Tap Battery with V-Mount has 150 Watt Hours (Wh), and this can help estimate how long your device can run from the ONsite Power system. For example, a 150Wh battery should run a 50W stereo for 3 hours. Here are a few devices, their watt-hour requirement, and an approximate estimate of run time.

• Smartphone (10Wh) 15 Recharges
• iPad Pro 12.9-inch (38Wh) 4 Recharges
• Laptop (50Wh) 3 Hours
• 40” LED TV (30Wh) 5 Hours

The ONsite D-Tap Battery with V-Mount (and other V-Mount batteries) dock and mount with a V-Mount system, and the D-Tap is the plug to access the power. Our ONsite Aero V-Mount is power compatible with both V-Mount and Gold Mount batteries as they both have D-Tap plugs but will only seamlessly mount with V-Mount batteries.

Unfortunately, no, it draws too much power.

Modified sine wave.

Simply put, watt hours are the power capacity of a battery. As an example, let’s say our 40-inch LED TV has a power consumption of 30W. We can expect the ONsite D-Tap to AC Power Supply with the ONsite D-Tap Battery with V-Mount (150Wh battery) to run the TV for 5 hours.
