• 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
• Battery data is only available when every part of the connection path supports the NP1 data contacts.
• 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.
NP-98D 98Wh Data NP1 Battery
£198.00
NP1 Power + Data
Made for the Sound Bag
Use the NP-98D with compatible Hawk-Woods NP1 adaptor shoes or power distribution to run a complete location-sound setup from one battery while retaining data communication where the full signal path supports it.
98Wh / 6.8Ah
High-Capacity NP1 Power
With 98Wh of capacity in the established NP1 format, the NP-98D is designed to keep modern location-sound bags running for longer between battery changes, subject to the power draw of the connected equipment.
NP1 Data Communication
See Battery Telemetry on Compatible Mixers
The additional data contacts allow compatible Hawk-Woods NP1 shoes and distribution systems to pass battery information onward. With the correct NPD-TA4 or NPD1 data-capable connection, Sound Devices 8-Series recorders can display useful battery information including remaining time and percentage.
