Title: Dual 12v output?
Post by: todd e on August 04, 2025, 10:15:55 AM

I have a couple of talentcells, with the 5v/9v/12v but have specifically been looking for one of these talentcells with two (2) 12v outputs? 
I could prob wire a splitter wiring harness from one, but i figured I'd ask here if anyone is familiar with other 12v (2) outputs.  Thanks in advance.

most vlock/vmount batteries have 2 12v dtap outputs

I just use an off-the-shelf 'Y' cable out of the 12V port.  It's nothing fancy.

I think that Y cable is one of several I used to use "the other way around" to hot-swap / parallel DVD batteries back in the day.  Haven't needed to hot-swap the higher capacity Talentcells but I do occasionally needed to run more than one piece of 12V powered gear from a single battery.

Thanks, I understand your suggestion, but at same time I do not want to modify the VMS original power cable. Currently I just bring two talent cells but figure there must be something more elegant (mixpre6 & Vms02ib - which claims 9v-16v)
