Add four high-capacity compact batteries to your kit with this Core SWX Hypercore NEO 9 Mini 98Wh 4-Battery Kit with Quad Charger put together by B&H. The kit includes four Hypercore NEO 9 Mini 98Wh V-mount batteries and the Mach4 4A Rapid Quad 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 Mach4 4A Quad Charger can fast-charge all four batteries simultaneously at 4A each, which allows the batteries to charge to full in about 1.5 hours. The charger also features red/green status LEDs, a durable aluminum enclosure, and a carry handle.
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.
Featuring four fast charge bays, this Mach4 4-Position Charger with 4A Rapid Charge is the next generation of smart chargers from Core SWX. The Mach4 is capable of charging four V-mount batteries with a fast 4A charge. It can charge four 98Wh batteries in approximately 1.5 hours at a rate of 4A per hour, which utilizes half the power used by previous models.
The charger is thinner than previous models at 3.15" thick and weighs only 5 lb, making it even more portable when you are shooting in the field. It features red and green status LEDs to indicate charging and full status. Supporting 90-240 VAC input voltage, the Mach4 is worldwide compatible, the housing is made from durable aluminum, and it can be carried using its recessed carry handle.
