Hawk-Woods

NP-98D 98Wh Data NP1 Battery

• 98Wh / 14.4V / 6.8Ah lithium-ion NP1 battery rated for 9A current draw.
• Data-capable NP1 design for compatible Hawk-Woods power-distribution and adaptor systems.
• Can provide battery telemetry to Sound Devices 833, 888 and Scorpio when used with a compatible data-capable NP1 shoe.


Need help choosing?

Choose the NP-98D when you want the larger 98Wh Hawk-Woods NP1 battery and specifically want data communication for supported power systems or Sound Devices 8-Series recorders. If battery telemetry is not required, a standard NP1 battery can still provide power, but the NP-98D is the better choice when you want remaining-time and percentage information through a compatible data-capable adaptor. For a smaller/lighter NP1 option, consider the NP-50.

The NP-98D is a 98Wh 14.4V lithium-ion NP1 battery designed for professional location sound, providing high-capacity power for mixer-recorders, wireless systems and power-distribution equipment.

The “D” data version adds battery communication through compatible NP1 shoes and power systems. Used with the correct Hawk-Woods data adaptor, it can pass battery telemetry such as remaining runtime and percentage to compatible Sound Devices 833, 888 and Scorpio mixer-recorders.

Important Notes

• For Sound Devices 833, 888 and Scorpio telemetry, use a compatible Hawk-Woods data-capable NP1 shoe such as NPD-TA4 or NPD1.
• Sound Devices notes that its XL-NPTA4 NP1 adaptor does not support Hawk-Woods data communication.
• Hawk-Woods marks the NP-98D as flight safe, but airline approval and lithium-ion baggage rules must still be checked before travel.
• Follow Hawk-Woods lithium-ion charging and storage guidance to protect battery life and warranty.
