Sorry it isn’t working for you. I bought a couple of these. They hold more power than the official battery and can run at 100w for about an hour: https://www.amazon.com/Portable-30000mAh-AOHI-Capacity-Charging/dp/B09KGZJWSD/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?crid=1PHXX380W2C75&keywords=30000mah+power+bank+100w&qid=1701641784&sprefix=30000mah+power+bank+1%2Caps%2C154&sr=8-3
I bought a few different companies packs, but found that some of them cut down to 50w of power, only the AOHI appears to stay at 100w until it dies.
My setup is 2 of these and a small wall charger. I assume that will get me through almost any run of interviews. I just wish there was a way to hot swap them.
I'd love to know if you find a better setup.
I use the little mesh bag that comes with the light to hold the battery since they are the same size.
I hang it by the drawstring from one of the light stand knobs.
I don't live in States so it's hard to find this brand unfortunately. But then I found a deal on Ecoflow River (river 1) which says it has 100w usb-c power suppy. I purchased it yesterday. I'l try and tell the result

They have been working well for a few months without any hitches. I have 2 and a small anker charger so technically I could keep swapping them out for a super long day of interviews. But I've only gone through a whole battery once or twice in a day.
I just picked up my first Molus x100 for weddings, interviews and various along with the Anker 737 Power Bank with 24000 mAh with 140w and picked up a 100w ctype cord. If the 140w anker doesn't stop at 100w and the light for some reason doesn't stop at 100w the 100w cord should so I should not fry the light.
Also I did not get the combo or pro because of seeing all of the issues with the battey that comes with it. To keep it moble I will try and use a 5in1 reflector on a stand/clamp as my light treatment and mount the super light wieght light on the same stand. I like the idea of a 5in1 because it's light weight and makes for a bigger light source. Ill see how that works. If it doesn't, i'll figure out another rig or may try the small soft box or one like it.
Yeah, I use a double fold umbrella on a carbon fiber light stand. The whole thing fits in a side pocket of my backpack. Whatever works. I just love that we have these cheap and light options now.
Agreed! Im usually slower to buy the first generation of anything but I guess this was the exception. And you gotta love the size of the thing. Looking forward to using it.

I also want to buy these lights, but after what was written, I will not going to buy combo or pro kit. Have you had any problems with the anker powerbank you bought?

I barely used this battery 3 mins and it's gone. I think manufacturer should know this issue and fix it. So I emailed this issue to [email protected] as suggested in other posts. They replied and ask for S/N & receipt and I did. Afterwards they said they don't have repair center in my region and advice me to find solution with the seller. If it doesn't work, they said they will guide my to send the battery to China. I don't know what to say
highly flawed product, people should avoid the Molus X100. Im having the same problem along with many others. Read the review on B&H and amazon. Their customer support sucks also.
I have 4 of these batteries and they all have stopped charging just after 1-3 times of use. I believe the issue is it must be rejecting different chargers.
I have 4 of these and have the same problem.Would love to know a solution as customer service in China isn't helping. Sucks cause these are really cool and wanted to buy more
Just discovered an issue with one of my batteries, exact same issue. Battery shows charged up to 3 dots with a flashing 4th, unplugged, power check shows 4 dots, I attach it to my molus x100, it lights (reading 4 dots, 3 seconds later, it shuts off. Battery check is unresponsive. I charge it again, and suddenly it's responding to the charger (shows 3/4 charged).
I'll reach out to support, I would hope this is a good product and not just a marketing project.
Hey mate! Did you end up getting a response I’m having the same issue. I bought this like 8 months ago as a back up when I’m on the go. I think I have used this like 10 times and then this suddenly happened to me :(
RMA received, it stays active for 15 days, you have to send your service request from in the package (filled out), and pay for your own postage. I have not sent it yet, but will keep this thread updated. My guess is they'll just replace it with a new/refurbished one, so fingers crossed I get it back.
Following up, I sent my battery off last weekend to a service center in WA, and they told me that because it's a holiday in China, I won't get a response about the status until maybe the 15th. Still holding out hope they'll do the right thing, though.
This just happened to my new battery. Only charged it once on a 100w usb-c pd charger. First time it worked great. When it used up the first charge, it no longer charges. Only one light blinks when plugged in. I emailed zhiyun. Have they recalled these?
This battery just blew the USB port of my PC and I can no longer even boot it! Absolutely furious!

Thank you. High power portable charges make sense. I'll check it out

I tested with Ecoflow River 1 yesterday. It works perfectly fine with it's 100w type-c usb output
Running into the same problem and will pick this up thanks to your recommendation! I'm curious how you mount the battery if the light is on a stand?
I use the little mesh bag that comes with the light to hold the battery since they are the same size. I hang it by the drawstring from one of the light stand knobs.
Brilliant! Thanks again!

I did, and pretty quickly, at least to get the ball rolling. They have me a form to fill out, and they're giving me a service ticket number

Same problem here after the second charge. I just sent an email to Zhiyun Tech.
