p.1 #1 · Profoto B1 B2 B3 LiFe Battery Replacement


I finally found it! Here is a link to a site where you can buy replacement batteries for cheap!

http://www.mybatteryplace.com/lifepo4/k2-energy-k2b12v7e-12v-7ah-lithium-iron-phosphate-battery.html

They even say in the description that it will work within these packs. I am going to order one this week and will let you know my results once it arrives. Spent many hours looking for a replacement that doesn't cost $1k like the B&H site. Hope this helps some of you looking to make your packs much lighter for location work.

Good find! Question though - that is the battery inside the B1? I thought it had an odd shaped snap on battery? Mine are en-route and will be here Thursday... pretty excited!

This is for the 7B pack. Not the New B1. I was referring to the Older profoto packs, B1, B2 etc.

Do post results once you make the conversion please.

I did have one of my 7B battery converted @ Silvino's for
around $300. Works great but its good to have an alternative as well.

I'm pretty sure that this is the one you want, not the one you linked to. 7ah vs. 10ah being the only difference that I notice.
