Provide a full day of power to your portable professional video and cinema equipment with this V-mount Core SWX HyperCore NEO 150 Mini 4-Battery Kit with FLEET Quantum Charger put together by B&H. Each HyperCore NEO 150 Mini lithium-ion V-mount battery features a 147Wh capacity and a backlit status LCD, and it is capable of supporting a powerful 12A continuous draw and up to a maximum 16A draw. Their compact form factor keeps the batteries portable and allows them to integrate with a variety of space-constrained camera setups.
The included FLEET Quantum charger has four bays to replenish all four batteries simultaneously at 4A per hour using a 2 x 2 rapid charge process. It also features a color touchscreen status LCD with clear battery health analysis. Put your batteries 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 150 Mini from Core SWX is a compact 14.8V, 147Wh lithium-ion battery that features a V-mount, and it supports a constant 12A draw with a peak draw of 16A. With this high output, the battery is designed for cine and broadcast applications, as well as mobile and field applications. The battery is ultra-compact, so it's also highly suited for gimbal, drone, and other mobile applications. The Hypercore NEO 150 Mini has the ergonomic design, large backlit LCD, and protective overmolded rubberized housing that Hypercore batteries are known for over their past releases.
It's microprocessor-driven like previous Hypercores, ensuring safety and runtime delivery to camera viewfinders or LCDs, but, leveraging the microprocessor, the NEO 150 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. The NEO 150 Mini has a more modular design consisting of less cabling, allowing for increased quality. With the cells and 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 150 Mini has an LED gauge on the side to quickly spot battery level status. Other features include 2000 charge/discharge cycles, hibernation mode, and the ability to communicate to cameras as well as chargers with both one- and two-wire protocols (see the Features section below). The NEO 150 Mini also provides a SmartTap D-Tap port and a 5V USB port for powering/charging devices, and you can use the USB port to upgrade the battery's firmware. The SmartTap port lets you power any 12 VDC accessory and transmit battery data if the accessory is able to communicate that information.
Featuring four charge bays with two independent sides, this FLEET Quantum 4-Position Charger with Touchscreen Color LCD is part of the next-generation smart charger series from Core SWX. The FLEET Quantum is capable of charging four V-mount batteries by utilizing a 2 x 2 rapid charge process. This means the right two and left two bays run independently. When four packs are placed on the charger, it charges one pack from each side with the most charge capacity first, then continues with the lesser-charged packs for the quickest charge sequence. To charge two batteries, you would place one on each side for simultaneous charging. Four 98Wh batteries can be charged in approximately three hours at a rate of 4A per hour, which also utilizes half the power used by previous models.
On the front of the unit, the Fleet Quantum features a large color touchscreen LCD with a GUI that provides smart battery data such as charge state, cycle count, and capacity data, and it can provide health analysis for each battery in case there are any abnormalities. Supporting 90-240 VAC input voltage, the FLEET Quantum is worldwide compatible if you incorporate the appropriate plug adapter, sold separately. A 6' long power cable is included.
