Portable monolights with integrated battery?

Hi folks! Thanks for help with the backdrop suggestions, it really came through and I finished the PPE. Clients loved the product and were impressed I did it all on location. :D

One thing that I've been planning for a while is to upgrade my key light. I was looking at the Profoto B1 because it had an integrated chargeable Li battery and I really liked that feature. Are there any other competitors that have integrated batteries and shoot at least 500W? I would prefer to travel as light as possible as I don't usually have an assistant and I fly abroad fairly often. I have a C-Stand and a $2500 budget. I don't need TTL.

This is a really late reply, osrry.

But if your in Canada there are two new addtions. Lightrein has the new LR6bat coming out which is a 600w/s battery integrated strobe fora bout $950 CAD. Strobe-pro just released the X600 (which is a copy of the Flashpoint Rovelight from Adorama) and it is about $600 and offers some pretty impressive specs. Good reviews too if you ignore the crummy controller and use your own triggers with it.

I'm buying a Profoto D1's because I'm looking down the line at modifiers and stuff like that... but if I didn't have the Profoto budget I'd be buying the Lightreins.
