    I'm going to be shooting at a location for a day where there is no power and I only have 6 redvolts and 2 chargers. I will also need to travel light. Has anyone used something like a Vagabond II portable charger to power the RED travel chargers for longer than a few hours? I'm probably looking at charging 2-4 extra batteries to be safe.

    Cheers.

    What about a generator?
    Not sure if the output of this thing is high enough...

    Are you flying or driving? If driving I use a Duracell battery generator. I can get more than a days worth of charging with 3 chargers and 8 RedVolts.

    Yes it is. It's about $170 I think.
