Support your power-hungry production equipment with this Gold mount GRANITE MINI 140Wh Li-Ion 2-Battery Kit with Dual Charger from BLUESHAPE. The kit includes two Granite Mini 140Wh Gold mount lithium-ion batteries and a dual 6A travel charger.
Each 14.4V battery features 140Wh capacity, two D-Tap outputs for additional equipment, D-Tap charging, IP54 weather resistance, and status monitoring via Wi-Fi using an iOS or Android app. The quiet, fanless charger features two Gold mount slots for the batteries and provides a 6A charge per battery. It also features a 14.4V 4-pin XLR output to serve as a UPS backup for your equipment, should its primary power fail.
The Gold mount GRANITE MINI M2 14.4V 143Wh Battery from BLUESHAPE is a powerful, compact battery ideal for video production. This robust, shockproof GRANITE design has a textured finish that is easy to grab and is resistant to drops and impacts. The GRANITE MINI supports a maximum 12A draw and has two 14.4V D-Tap ports for powering accessories. The D-Tap's rubber covers help maintain the IP54 rating against moisture and dust ingress.
In addition to a 5-LED battery meter, the BLUESHAPE iOS/Android app can be used to monitor and control various battery functions via Wi-Fi, including real-time current capacity, charging speed, and power draw updates.
The Dual Gold Mount 6A Travel Charger from BLUESHAPE allows you to charge two Gold mount batteries sequentially and features a 4-pin XLR power output. It's very convenient to use, featuring a carry handle and a rotating foot on the bottom for desktop use. This updated model of the CGTR2 charger allows you to use the XLR output as a UPS backup with a quick failover function, and it features a higher 6A simultaneous charge. It is also fanless to ensure a quiet charge. Batteries under 190Wh take less than two hours to charge, while batteries up to 290Wh can take a bit over four hours to charge to 100%.
The charger features a pop-out stand that neatly tucks away underneath when not needed. It can be powered via an included AC cable or the separately available BLUESHAPE In-Car Adapter. A data socket allows for a USB connection with a separately available 4-pin LEMO to USB cable to a computer in order to monitor charging activity and log battery data. The optional BLUESHAPE BSCVMON cable and maintenance utility are required for this, and up to four chargers can be monitored on a single computer.
This charger features a BLUESHAPE technology called IPCS (Intelligent Pre-Charge System) that allows it to provide charge at increased speeds to batteries with fast-charge supporting features, such as pre-charge protection and cell-balancing. IPCS does this by initially boosting very low voltage cells to a state at which charge can be applied with a medium-low current without causing damage. Then it charges with a 300mA current for a while, and when the battery reaches a reasonable voltage state, the charger speeds up the charging process by switching to full throttle. To counteract the increased heat caused by this fast-charging capability, the charger employs another BLUESHAPE technology called CTP (Charger Thermal Protection) that allows the electronics to work out the best possible charge profiles without causing damage, even in adverse temperature conditions.
