What the thread found

• Four Power Cubes and three Endura 80 batteries can reliably power an Arri 235 camera running at 24-60 fps along with a wireless microphone transmitter and a Bartech follow focus unit.
• Two Dionic 90 batteries powered twelve 400-foot magazine loads per day on an Arri 235 camera, including sessions at up to 48 fps, demonstrating sufficient capacity for typical daily shooting.
• Battery power requirements for an Arri 235 are comparable to those for a Sony F-900, so similar battery configurations should prove adequate.

Depends on

• The advice was based on specific shooting patterns and magazine counts from individual experiences, which may differ from other production scenarios.
• The experience mentioned used Dionic 90 batteries rather than the Dionic 160 batteries also available to the original questioner.
• No data provided for extended high frame rate shooting beyond the 48 fps reference point.
