The 99Wh Mini PAGlink MPL99 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 99Wh at 14.8V and 6.7Ah.

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: 1. 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.

Q: 2. Ok so if I buy this: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1582527-REG/smallrig_2922_dc5521_to_np_fz100_dummy.html It will go right into the A7 IV and plug right into the small rig battery I assume? So what I want to know is, how many times are each of the versions of the Smallrig batteries equivalent to the Sony battery? In other words, if the Sony battery is good for say 2 hours, how long is each of the versions, 50, 100 and now 150 good for? Thank you.

A: The SmallRig VB99 Mini V-Mount Battery (99Wh) has a 99Wh capacity, which over 5 times greater than the 2280mAh Sony NP-FZ100 Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Battery that powers the Sony a7 IV.

Q: 3. Can I travel internationally with this charger? Will it work with a 230V supply voltage and 50Hz frequency?

A: Yes you can. It operates 100V to 265V AC.

Q: 4. what is the time charge difference on USB-C w/ 65w charger VS a standard V-Mount battery charger? Are they comparable speeds?

A: It can depend on the V-Mount charger and how much amperage it gives out, but typically a V-Mount charger, like the Watson Pro Dual Position Li-Ion Battery Charger (V-Mount), provides 2.5 amps or 5 amps can charge between 3.8 hours to 2.5 hours. Charging through USB-C at a maximum of 65 watts (20 volts/3.25 amps) can provide a recharge time of about an hour and a half.

Q: 5. Is this compatible with the Smallrig RC 220B light? About how long would it last?

A: You could use the SmallRig VB99 Mini V-Mount Battery (99Wh) to power the SmallRig RC 220B COB Bi-Color LED Video Light (2700-6500K), but it would be just meeting the minimum power requirements of the light. I would recommend considering a battery with higher output, such as the Nanlite 230Wh 26V V-Mount Li-Ion Battery (BH #NABTV26V230).

Q: 6. how much does it weigh?

A: The SmallRig VB99 mini V Mount Battery 3580 weighs 1.63 lbs.

Q: 7. Can I use an third party charger? I already own a gold mount charger.

A: PAG recommends only using PAGlink or Anton Bauer chargers for their PAG Mini PAGlink MPL99G Battery (99Wh). "It can be charged using PAGlink or Anton Bauer chargers, for maximum versatility and economic integration." https://paguk.com/sites/default/files/pdf/PAG-7241_Data_Sheet.pdf

Q: 8. Can this charger charge batteries while it is powering a camera through the xld output or can it only do one of those two functions at a time? Thx

A: According to PAGlink, Operation: The camera power supply function is operated by pressing and holding the Camera PSU button on the chargers front panel for 1 second. Charging is suspended whilst the power supply is in use.

Q: 9. Is it safe to plug the dummy battery for an A7 IV straight into the 8V output on the Smallrig battery?

A: No, I would not recommend using the 8V output on the SmallRig VB99 Mini V-Mount Battery (99Wh) to power your A7 IV as it uses 7.2VDC, and would likely be damaged by the added voltage. Instead use the SmallRig VB99 Mini V-Mount Battery's (99Wh) USB-C port which has PD(power Delivery) which is a smart interface that automatically adjusts the power output to match that of the connected device.

Q: 10. Does this work to power fujifilm xh2s?

A: The SmallRig VB99 Mini V-Mount Battery can power a FUJIFILM X-H2S with a cable like this:Wooden Camera D-Tap to FUJIFILM NP-W235 Dummy Battery (12") BH #WOA00006 • MFR #A00006.
