Add two high-capacity compact batteries to your kit with this Core SWX Hypercore NEO 9 Mini 98Wh 2-Battery Kit with Dual Charger put together by B&H. The kit includes two Hypercore NEO 9 Mini 98Wh Gold mount batteries and the GPM-X2A Mini Dual Travel Charger.
Each 14.8V Hypercore NEO 9 Mini lithium-ion battery features a constant 12A draw with a 16A peak draw, 98Wh capacity, RFID battery status compatible with VoltBridgeID, a backlit LCD screen, D-Tap and USB outputs, and a compact size that suits handheld rigs, gimbals, or drones. The GPM-X2A Mini Dual Travel Charger can charge both batteries simultaneously at 1.5A each, or it can charge a single 98Wh battery in less than 2.5 hours at 3A. The vertical charger is compact, making it suitable for travel.
The Hypercore NEO 9 Mini, in a Gold 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 Gold mount version is compatible with Anton Bauer Gold mount chargers, among others.
Charge your Gold mount batteries while traveling with the GPM-X2A Mini Dual Travel Battery Charger from Core SWX. Taking advantage of the same technology built into the larger fleet chargers, this compact travel charger can charge a single battery at a 3A rate or two batteries simultaneously at 1.5A. Since it sits vertically with two batteries mounted, the GPM-X2A takes up less space than traditional chargers.
