Moman TAP2C Dual D-Tap Charger for V-Mount/Gold Mount Batteries

Our review of the Moman TAP2C Dual D-Tap Charger finds it best suited for photographers and videographers who need a compact, reliable way to charge V-mount or Gold Mount batteries with D-Tap sockets. The bottom line: it shines as a practical dual-channel D-Tap charger that supports fast charging up to 4A on a single channel and 2A per channel when both are used, making it a straightforward choice for small studios, run-and-gun shooters, and camera operators who rotate high-capacity packs regularly.

Key Features

• Wide Compatibility: Works with a broad range of V-mount and Gold Mount batteries that provide a D-Tap socket, covering common professional battery series for cameras and field rigs.
• Dual D-Tap Charging: Can charge two high capacity V-mount batteries at the same time, allowing faster turnaround when you have multiple packs to cycle.
• Fast Charge Support: Provides up to 4A on a single channel and 2A per channel when both are used, enabling quicker replenishment of batteries with automatic constant current control.
• Clear LED Indicators: Red indicates charging and green indicates full, so users can easily monitor status at a glance without guesswork.
• Safety Protections: CE, UKCA and UL standard safety certifications plus short circuit, overcurrent and overvoltage protection reduce risk during charging sessions.

Who It's For

The TAP2C is ideal for independent filmmakers, ENG shooters, and event videographers who rely on V-mount or Gold Mount battery systems and need an efficient way to top up multiple packs between takes. Its dual D-Tap outputs mean a small crew can keep several camera batteries ready without separate chargers for each cell.

Users who need integrated charger bays specific to a single battery brand or those who require built-in battery health diagnostics should look elsewhere; this unit focuses on robust, general-purpose D-Tap charging rather than advanced battery management features.
