Watson C-2E Overview

This Watson Pro Dual Position Li-Ion Charger supports two Gold mount batteries and offers a 4-pin XLR power output, providing dual-purpose functionality in a portable, handy design. It's capable of simultaneous charging, and the XLR port offers useful versatility. An ergonomic carry handle, flip-out kickstand, rubberized feet, On/Off switch, and LED status indicators complete the design and allow for comfortable and efficient operation.

This charger delivers simultaneous charging at 2.5A per channel, and provides 5A when charging a single battery. The 4-pin XLR power output can be used to power select cameras from an AC outlet or off of connected batteries. A special feature of this charger is that when it's connected to a power outlet, it is capable of charging the batteries and providing power through the XLR output at the same time, as opposed to one or the other as is more common.

Additionally, an XLR cable is included, giving you everything you need to make full use of this charger. The charger supports 100-240 VAC power input, so it can be used worldwide with the right plug adapters (sold separately).

Great product, just great

I recently purchased this charger with the intention of finding a faster and more convenient solution for charging my gold mount batteries while on the go. I must say, I am thoroughly impressed with the performance and affordability of this charger. One of the standout features of this charger is its ability to provide fast charging for gold mount batteries. This has been a game-changer for me, as it significantly reduces the waiting time for my batteries to reach full charge. With the fast charging capability, I can quickly replenish the power of my batteries and get back to shooting without unnecessary delays. This feature alone has greatly improved my efficiency on set and made my workflow much smoother. In addition to its impressive performance, the price of this charger is remarkably reasonable.

Designed with purpose!

“I really love this charger” is something I thought I would never say, but here I am saying it loud and proud.  I’m really enamored with this battery charger (for one simple feature which I’ll get to later). From top to bottom this charger is just well designed.  Let’s start with the form factor.  It’s light without feeling cheap.  I’m not going to say that if you threw it on the ground full force it would survive, but if it tipped over on set, I wouldn’t think twice about it being functional.  Speaking of tipping over, it’s going to be nearly impossible for the charger to become unbalanced with the charger stands extended.  They have a nice give to them meaning I wasn’t worried about them breaking when using heavier batteries.  The base of the unit is even rubberized to reduce the risk of it sliding.  The LED indicators are simple to read, red means charging, green means charged ( or at least 95% charged). No complex data readouts, or complicated morse code light combinations (I’m looking at you Canon). Not that I’m saying it wouldn’t be nice to have an LCD screen showing what percent the batteries were charged at, but it isn’t a necessity. The top handle is a nice touch, and makes transport really convenient. It makes the whole entire thing feel like it was made with purpose, instead of necessity.  Now onto the one aspect of this product that has me so excited that I’m questioning my sanity even mentioning it.  I LOVE THE XLR DC OUTPUT.  It’s crazy that this one little thing has me over the moon.  Not only can the charger output power from the XLR port while the unit is plugged in and charging the batteries, but when the unit isn’t plugged in the XLR port can still output power from the attached batteries!!!!  This is so clutch!  What this means is that you have a portable power source as well as a charger!  Let’s say you have a piece of gear like an LED light that doesn’t have a battery solution but does have an XLR input, you can power that light, essentially turning something studio based into something totally portable!  MIND BLOWN! If I have one complaint at all it is that when the internal fan does kick on, it is a bit noisy.  Not jet engine loud, but depending on your shooting situation you will notice it slightly.  This is by no means a deal breaker for me, but your milage my very. When all said and done this is a really well designed power solution and I am super glad to have this on my gear list! *slow clap, high five* PS. In the picture you see below, the Luxli Timpani Light Panel is being powered through the charger, with no AC power input. [I received this product in exchange for my honest review.]

question

Hi, Is this charger compatible with core swx batteries?Thanks!
Asked by: Taylor A.
There is no compatibility listing regarding these two products. You may proceed at your own risk. That being said, most likely there should not be any issue. If there is a problem, usually what is incompatible is the battery power level meters performing correctly.
