The 50Wh Mini PAGlink MPL50 V-Mount Battery from PAG is an intelligent, rechargeable V-mount Li-ion battery that can be linked with up to nine other batteries for a total of 10 PAGlink units, which are compatible with PAGlink and other V-mount battery chargers. The battery features a numeric runtime, capacity, and data display and is hot-swappable for continuous power. The battery has a modular design that allows for internal modules to be replaced by an authorized service facility, and the intelligent linking technology also allows for more batteries to be recharged using fewer chargers.

Intelligent battery linking enables you to control the capacity and weight of your power source to suit the application. For example, use a single battery for handheld applications and two to four batteries for more current or to achieve longer runtimes.

When batteries are linked and in a similar state of charge, the current-draw capability increases from 8 to 12A. This is ideal for camera setups that require power for multiple accessories.

PAGlink batteries allow seamless hot-swapping for continuous power or the ability to add another battery just to keep shooting, putting an end to time-consuming camera reboots.

Simultaneous rather than sequential discharge means that no unused batteries are adding dead weight to your camera.

When linked, the batteries form a network that enables them to communicate with each other, managing the output safely and preventing the transfer of charge between batteries. A fully charged battery can be linked safely to one that is fully discharged.

The battery handles 50Wh at 14.8V and 3.5Ah.

All PAG Li-ion batteries are tested to UN standards by an independent authority and certified to comply with air transport safety regulations. They are labeled with their UN test number and air travel quantity allowance, based on their capacity.

The battery firmware can be updated in the field by the user in a matter of seconds, without opening the battery case. Updates enable you to benefit from the technological advances that accommodate developments in camera technology.

The USB output unit (5V 2A) may be swapped for other unit types, including Hirose, LEMO, and D-Tap.

The rated maximum continuous output current for an individual 50Wh battery is 8A, and for a 99Wh battery, it is 10A. Two or more linked batteries of any rated capacity, in a similar state of charge, will deliver an increased continuous current of up to 12A.

Q: 2. I don't understand, if you mount two mini's together, do they deplete at the same time? If so how can you "hot swap"

A: The PAG Mini PAGlink MPL50G Battery (50Wh) (B&H# PA7141) can join with another of its kind and the two would deplete at the same time, yes. When hot swapping, you would be replacing the battery that is not connected directly to the battery plate nor the D-tap cable. That way, it would not interrupt the power going to the battery plate or D-tap cable. There does need to be a bit of power in that battery in order for hot swapping to be possible, however. Fortunately, it's a quick procedure to remove one battery from the other and then add a freshly charged one in its stead.
