Battery Technology

The introduction of low power consuming lighting equipment, such as LED technology, and the concurrent development of high yield battery technology, including lithium based batteries, has enabled us to literally put light sources anywhere. This class will train the lighting technician on using various types of batteries on set. Topics will include: battery selection based on power consumption, usage, location, and environment; function and technology; storage, transportation, and handling; proper charging practices; series and parallel wiring; and disposal.
