What the thread found

• The Zephyr can operate with a 24V battery directly mounted on the sled without requiring an additional battery plate.
• A secondary battery plate with serial/parallel switching capability is optional and can help keep the sled configuration more compact.
• The Zephyr has sufficient lifting capacity to carry both an SR3 camera and a 24V battery together.
• A small dovetail AB battery plate (model 807-7350-02) is available as an optional accessory for this setup.

Depends on

• The discussion confirms the technical feasibility but does not provide detailed specifications or weight limits.
• No information about the specific cable adapters needed beyond generic mention of '24V cables'.
• The availability of secondary battery plates appears limited, with sourcing through local operators or used equipment channels suggested.
