Battery for RX600

Looking for a pack or two to power 2 Elinchrom RX600 units, hopefully without breaking the bank. Does anyone have a recommendation of something they are using with success?

Thanks in advance!

If the RX is a single voltage unit a Buff VML will probably work.

Yeah it is a 120volt.

I looked at the VML but of course they say they can't guarantee compatibility with other units and rightfully so. I have access to a VML so I may try it, just don't want to blow up the light.

I use my Tronix Explorer XT to power 2 600RX units without a problem.

The VML has compatibility issues with duel voltage power supplies. There is a voltage switching problem.

If the RX600 has a single voltage power supply it should work OK.

I loaned one of my VMLs to Rob a year or so ago so he could do some testing. The thread should be searchable here.

The RX600 is a single voltage at 120. Also I spoke with one of the tech folks over at Paul Buff and they unofficially confirmed that the VML will work with the RX600. So now some of it may come down to weight. The XT will power two RX600's but weighs 18.6 lbs. I would need two VML units but they weight 3.5 lbs each. Price difference is within $50 so I may wind up with two VML units because they will be lighter to carry into a remote location and because I can clamp one to each light stand and not have to deal with cords. Still considering.....

If you are going to lug these into the tundra, another consideration is the small, relatively light VML batteries. Carrying extras won't be much burden.
