Teradek Ace 500 L Bracket Adapter Plate for Canon LP-E6 and Sony NP-F550 Battery

L Bracket Adapter Plate for Ace 500

The Teradek Ace 500 L Bracket Adapter Plate lets operators power an Ace 500 system from widely available Canon LP-E6 or Sony NP-F550 batteries. It converts the battery output to a standard 5.5mm x 2.1mm DC barrel connector for direct device connection. The bracket mounts securely to the unit, preventing accidental disconnection during handheld or mobile shoots. It is built for professionals who need flexible power without proprietary packs.

Dual Battery Compatibility and Headroom

The plate accepts either LP-E6 or NP-F550 cells, so you can use whichever stock you already own or source locally. A single battery runs the Ace 500 until its capacity is depleted; runtime scales with the cell’s rated milliampere-hours. The barrel connector passes through whatever voltage the battery provides, so the system draws only what it needs. There is no internal regulation or step-up circuitry to extend voltage headroom.

Mechanical and Electrical Limits of the DC Barrel

The 5.5mm x 2.1mm barrel jack is a passive pass-through; it cannot negotiate power delivery or communicate battery status to the Ace 500. Polarity is fixed by the connector geometry, so reverse-polarity protection depends entirely on the battery’s own circuitry. The L bracket’s mounting points are sized for the Ace 500 chassis only; they will not align with other Teradek models or third-party rigs. Continuous current is limited by the battery’s discharge rating and the connector’s contact area.
