Product Information
Full details
The Aputure 2-Pin D-Tap Power Cable is designed for professional photographers and videographers using Amaran P60c or P60x LED panels who need a reliable mobile power solution. Its primary benefit is the ability to run your lights via standard V-lock batteries for extended on-location shoots without needing an AC power outlet. However, users should note that this cable is specifically keyed for the 2-pin connector on P60 series lights and will not be compatible with lights requiring different barrel or multi-pin power standards.

FAQs
Can I use this with other Amaran lights?
No, this cable is specifically designed for the 2-pin input found on the P60c and P60x models.
Does this cable charge the battery?
No, this is a power delivery cable only, meant to move power from the battery to the light.
Is it safe to leave the cable connected while not in use?
It is recommended to disconnect the cable from the battery when not actively filming to prevent accidental battery drain.
What is the maximum voltage this cable handles?
This cable is designed for standard 12V DC power output from professional camera batteries.
How long is the cable?
The cable length is optimized for standard light stand configurations, providing enough slack to run from the light head to a battery mounted on the stand column.
Troubleshooting
Light fails to turn on when connected
Check that the battery is switched on or has sufficient charge. Verify the D-Tap connector is fully seated in the battery port.
Light flickers during use
Ensure the 2-pin connector is pushed all the way into the P60 unit and check that the battery voltage is not dropping below the required threshold.
