Provide power to your portable professional video and cinema equipment with this V-mount Core SWX HyperCore NEO 9 Mini 98Wh Battery Kit put together by B&H. The HyperCore NEO 9 Mini lithium-ion V-mount battery features a 98Wh capacity and backlit status LCD, and despite its compact profile, it is capable of supporting a powerful 12A continuous draw and up to a maximum 16A draw.
The included single charger replenishes the included battery with a 1.5A charge current using the battery's D-Tap input. The charger features a 90 to 240 VAC US plug to quickly charge your battery using mains power. Put your battery on to charge before a shoot, and you'll be ready to roll during production. See below for more details on the products included in this kit.
The Hypercore NEO 9 Mini, in a V-mount, from Core SWX is a compact 14.8V, 98Wh lithium-ion battery that supports a constant 12A draw and peak draw of 16A. With this high output, the battery is designed for cine and broadcast applications, but, of course, it can be used for virtually all other applications as well. At only 4.7" in height and weighing just 1.4 lb, it's also highly suited for gimbal, drone, and other mobile applications. The Hypercore NEO 9 Mini has the ergonomic design, large backlit LCD, and protective over-molded rubberized housing that Hypercore batteries have come to be known for over their past releases, but this NEO 9 Mini version is a lot more advanced.
It's microprocessor-driven like previous Hypercores, ensuring safety and runtime delivery to camera viewfinders or LCDs, but, leveraging the microprocessor, the NEO 9 Mini features an RFID transmitter on the front that lets you monitor the stored battery data via Core SWX's VoltBridgeID iOS app or an RFID reader. Furthermore, the NEO 9 Mini has a more modular design consisting of less cabling, allowing for increased quality. With the different parts installed separately and securely inside the housing, the chance of failure is reduced in case of drops, and servicing the battery becomes a simpler, more efficient process as the different parts install plug-and-play.
In addition to the large LCD, the Hypercore NEO 9 Mini has an LED gauge on the side where the user can easily glance over at it. Other features include 2000 charge/discharge cycles, hibernation mode, and the ability to communicate to cameras as well as chargers with both one-wire and two-wire protocols (see the Features section below). Such an advanced battery wouldn't be complete without peripheral support. The NEO 9 Mini provides a SmartTap D-Tap port and a USB port for powering/charging devices. The SmartTap port lets you power any 12 VDC accessory and transmit battery data if the accessory is able to communicate that information.
The Hypercore NEO 9 Mini is also widely compatible with many different chargers. This V-mount version is compatible with RED, IDX, and Sony V-mount chargers, among others.
Charge your Core SWX lithium-ion battery with this 1.5A Single-Position D-Tap Charger that features a single D-Tap charge connector and a US plug. The charger features a 90 to 240 VAC input voltage and 1.5A charge current, and it charges a Core SWX battery approximately 50% faster than its predecessor. An LED on the charger indicates red when the battery is charging and green when the battery is fully charged. The charger is compatible with all Core SWX lithium-ion batteries with a D-Tap charging port except for the Hypercore Prime models.
