GlobalMediaPro batteries are sourced from the Bielen factory in China and have been used reliably for several years by some professionals without issues.
A 160-watt GlobalMediaPro battery can power a monitor for nearly a full day, and a 95-watt battery powered a digital camera for approximately 2-3 hours in one user's experience.
In a direct test, GlobalMediaPro batteries ran a 100-watt light source for 90 minutes while comparable Dionics batteries could not fully power the same equipment.
GlobalMediaPro batteries can handle loads from wireless camera systems and film cameras on support rigs, though they may not be suitable for high-frame-rate camera operation.
Cheap batteries may function initially but their reliability decreases over time, particularly with power-hungry HD cameras that may cause rapid battery degradation.
GlobalMediaPro offers competitive pricing and includes chargers that are relatively inexpensive, with fast delivery and straightforward order fulfillment.
Some users expressed concerns about payment methods restricted to wire transfer and negative online reviews found about the company.
Anton Bauer HC batteries are noted as more stable and better suited for powering multiple high-demand devices simultaneously without compromising battery longevity.

Experience reports are from 2011 and may not reflect current product quality or company practices.
Most positive experiences reported are from Australian users, with concerns raised about international shipping, particularly to the United States.
Testing and long-term reliability data are limited to specific use cases and may not generalize to all equipment types.
Some claims about battery behavior remain speculative or unsupported by detailed technical testing.
