It feeds the internal capacitor charging circuit directly, so cell health directly affects recycle speed and output consistency. This listing covers the standard 3000mAh variant at 22.2Wh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eV1 Pro \/ V860 III platform fit:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    These flash units share the same VB30 form factor, connector pin-out, and BMS handshake protocol. Swapping between compatible models is straightforward — the cell communicates charge state to each body the same way.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We cycled this cell through repeated full-power capacitor recharges on a V860 III body. The BMS held voltage steady across the first 20 full-power shots with no cutoff event and no thermal trip.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFirst-use power cycle on the V1 Pro:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    After fitting this cell, power the flash fully off, wait five seconds, then power back on from cold. The BMS handshake initialises correctly only from a cold start — inserting the cell into a body that is already powered can leave the charge state unread and cause a false low-battery indicator.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eWhy the V1 Pro steps down output after 10–15 full-power shots\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eAt full power, the V1 Pro's capacitor draws a high recharge current from the cell in a very short window. A degraded or low-capacity cell cannot sustain that current without voltage sagging below the BMS threshold. When that happens, the flash body interprets it as a protection event and steps the output down to reduce draw. A fresh cell with healthy internal resistance handles the burst current without triggering that cutoff. If you see stepped-down output early in a shoot, check cell voltage — it should read above 7.2V at rest between shots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eRecycle time noticeably slower on a brand-new VB30\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eNew Li-ion cells ship with slightly elevated internal resistance until the electrode chemistry settles. On a capacitor-charging device like the V860 III, higher internal resistance directly lengthens recharge time between shots. This is not a fault — it corrects itself after approximately five full charge-discharge conditioning cycles. Run the flash through five full sessions with complete discharges and full recharges before drawing any conclusions about cell performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43416245665882,"sku":"BWCS-DGR720SL-1","price":43.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43416245698650,"sku":"BWCS-DGR720SL-2","price":51.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43416245731418,"sku":"BWCS-DGR720SL-3","price":56.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-DGR720SL-1.webp?v=1779761097","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/godox-v1-pro-replacement-battery-74v-3000mah-li-ion","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
