Patented “Fly / No-Fly” Color Recognition System

We understand the time pressures that Broadcast Cameramen face every day. Only V-Gear Li-ion batteries feature the easy-to-recognize “fly” or “no-fly” color recognition system that makes it easy for Camera Op’s and Production personnel to recognize at a glance which batteries are safe to take on-board aircraft:

“Green” = good-to-fly with no quantity limit ( <100Wh )
“Orange” = ok to fly with a maximum of 2 units ( >100Wh up to 160Wh )
“Red” = Not Permitted to Fly. ( >160Wh )
