This is most helpful since I only shoot for a short period of time and
spend most of the time editing and then shooting a bit more. This save me a
lot of money because with an expensive battery I will run into the same
issue and $15-$20 a pop seems more reasonable.
Thanks

Yes. All of the Bescor belts I have seen were either AGM lead-acid batteries
or gel-cell lead-acid batteries. They are heavy, but cheap and very difficult

Thanks all for your suggestions. I had the battery fully charged yesterday
and tried to run the camera. The camera would not pull a 100 ft roll of
film. I just heard a clicking sound sort of like a Rex5 doing single
frames. However, the camera was on 18fps. This morning I plug in the
battery once
If you're not using the camera often, you can power it from a 12V lantern
battery available everywhere for around $15.
They are not rechargeable but rated at 7Ah, so you have plenty of power for
hours and hours of running.

I own a Bolex EL and having battery problems. I have a bescor LCR portable
rechargeable batter 12 volts 3.4. It charges up fine and the camera
indicates that the battery is charged. However it will not advance nor can
send power strong enough to transport the camera when loaded wiht a 100 ft
What does the charge meter do when you turn the camera on?
Don't worry about what it does when the camera isn't rolling, worry about
what it does when the motor is on.
If you have left that AGM battery on the shelf for a year or two without
keeping it charged, it will be time to replace it.
How old is the Bescor belt? It may need recelling. I know Bescor makes
those belts that have a builtin output cable, which is usually kindof
skimpy compared to a four pin xlr type cable, so it could be cable damage.
NiCad batteries sometimes indicate a full charge and then suffer from lack

Ooof. Sorry, I was imagining a battery belt. Sorry, I think my info is bad.

If it shows as charged, and then runs the camera at all just not well, does it
still show as charged after that?
A bad cable would likely produce intermittent power, not weak power.

The thing to do is isolate the source of the problem. Don't go out an get your
battery recelled until you

Any NiCAD/NiMH battery is made up of a number of individual cells, whether it
be configured as belt or brick. !2V almost always = 10 cells at 1.2V ea.
