Hahnel Plate for PROCUBE2: AA Batteries

The Hahnel Plate for PROCUBE2: AA Batteries is an accessory designed to power the PROCUBE2 lighting unit using standard AA batteries. Finished in black to match the PROCUBE2 housing, this battery plate enables portable, cable-free operation when mains power or proprietary battery packs are not available. It provides a straightforward way to run the light from widely available alkaline or rechargeable AA cells for short-duration shoots or backup power needs.

Advantages

The plate is compact, lightweight and crafted to integrate with the PROCUBE2 form factor without adding excessive bulk. Its compatibility with common AA cells makes sourcing replacements simple during location work. The black finish ensures a discreet appearance on set, and the mechanical fit aligns with the PROCUBE2 connection points for secure attachment and reliable electrical contact.

Suitable for

• On-location photography and videography where mains power is unavailable
• Short-duration shoots and quick setups that require immediate power
• Backup or emergency power for PROCUBE2 units
• Situations favoring widely available AA batteries rather than proprietary packs

Key specifications

• Power source: AA batteries (uses standard size cells)
• Color: Black
• Compatibility: Designed for use with PROCUBE2 lighting unit
• Form factor: Compact battery plate for attachment to PROCUBE2 housing

How to use

Install the recommended number of AA batteries into the plate following the polarity markings, then attach the plate securely to the PROCUBE2 unit until it clicks into place and electrical contacts engage. Turn the PROCUBE2 on and verify operation; replace batteries when the light output diminishes or the unit indicates low battery. Remove the plate before storing the light for extended periods to prevent battery leakage and to conserve cell life.

Usage recommendations

Use high-quality alkaline or NiMH rechargeable AA cells to achieve consistent output. For longer runtime, choose high-capacity rechargeable cells and carry spare batteries for location work. Avoid mixing old and new cells or different chemistries to prevent uneven discharge and potential damage to the battery plate or PROCUBE2 unit.
