13 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.
What the thread found
- HCX batteries provide the same power output as HC batteries but deliver it over a longer duration.
- HCX batteries are approximately half a pound heavier than HC batteries, which can be useful for ballast in camera rigs.
- HCX batteries have longer charging times compared to HC batteries.
- HCX batteries may not comply with certain airplane travel regulations.
- The T2 charger can fully charge HC90 batteries in approximately two hours.
- The additional weight of HCX batteries can help stabilize camera posts without requiring separate weights.
- HC batteries are a practical alternative when airplane compliance is a concern.
Depends on
- The specific airplane regulations that restrict HCX batteries are not detailed in the discussion.
- The exact charging time for HCX batteries with the T2 charger is not specified.
- The compatibility claims are based on user experience rather than comprehensive testing.
- The thread does not address all 12-volt camera systems mentioned, only the Epic is referenced.
- Weight specifications are approximate rather than precise.
- The discussion does not provide detailed electrical specifications for the 10-amp draw question.
