This B-mount Core SWX Helix Max 147Wh 4-Battery Kit B-Mount Chargerfrom Core SWX Helix Max 147Wh 4-Battery Kit B-Mount Chargerexpands upon the features of the Hypercore NEO series by adding simultaneous, 14 and 28V dual-voltage capabilities for a complete onboard system with high-voltage performance. A nearly lossless transmission and a maximum load of 20A at 16.8V or 10A at 33.6V makes this battery ideal for powering more demanding equipment builds in cine and broadcast applications.

The Helix Max draws minimal current at its maximum voltage, creating less heat and extending the runtime and longevity of the battery. A D-Tap aux output and USB output can power other accessories from monitors to mobile devices. Integrated into the battery's design is an LCD screen to monitor the runtime and total battery percentage. Adding the separately available Helix hot-swap plate can double the available battery capacity and runtimes. An aluminum release lever ensures long-term durability.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Is there any reason we couldn't use our existing v-mount battery chargers with these?

A: Yes, The Core SWX Helix XL 293Wh Dual-Voltage Battery (V-Mount) should be compatible with existing V-mount chargers.

Q: 2. Can we use regular gold mount charger to charge the dual voltage batteries or do I need the specific dual voltage charger?

A: According to Core SWX, "Along with standard powering applications, Helix charges on all standard v-mount and gold mount Lithium-Ion equipment, including Anton/Bauer, allowing it to seamlessly integrate into your current fleet of battery packs." As such the Core SWX Helix Max 147Wh Lithium-Ion Dual-Voltage Battery (Gold Mount), would be supported by standard chargers.

Q: 3. Does this work with Alexa Mini LF ?

A: If the camera has a Gold Mount Battery plate on it, yes it will.

Q: 4. Is there a switch on the battery to run 14 and then switch to 28 and back so you can use it with a Sony FX 9 camera?

A: The Core SWX Helix Max 98Wh Lithium-Ion Dual-Voltage Battery cannot be manually switched between the two voltages. The battery switches automatically depending on the voltage of the plate that it is attached to. If the battery detects a higher voltage plate, it will adjust accordingly to the higher voltage. The default will be 14V, which is supported on the Sony PXW-FX9 XDCAM 6K Full-Frame Camera System (B&H # SOPXWFX9). The battery will switch to 28V when mounted on a camera that's supports that voltage.

Q: 5. How long does this run Alexa 35?

A: The Core SWX Helix Max 98Wh Lithium-Ion Dual-Voltage Battery (Gold Mount) runs the ALEXA 35 for one hour.

Q: 6. Would this battery work directly on an Aputure 600x gold mount light? Would it allow you to run that light at full output?

A: Yes, two (2) of the Core SWX Helix XL 293Wh Dual-Voltage Battery (Gold Mount) would allow you to obtain full output power from the Aputure LS 600x Pro Bi-Color LED Monolight (Gold Mount) when using DC battery power.

Q: 7. Whats the output on the Ptap? For example can my smallHD 7" or my taradek run off the Ptap? Or do I need a downconverter to 12V?

A: You will not need a regulator when using the 12V P-TAP/D-TAP output on the Core SWX Helix Max 275. You, will be able to power your display, and Teradek transmitter from the batteries D-TAP output.

Q: 8. Can it be used on Sony FX 9 with standard gold plate?

A: So long as the output voltage of the Core SWX Helix Max 147Wh Lithium-Ion Dual-Voltage Battery (Gold Mount) is not set to 28V, yes, you could use it to power the Sony FX9.

Q: 9. are the 147Wh version air transport safe?

A: Regulations vary for the Core SWX Helix Max 147Wh Lithium-Ion Dual-Voltage Battery (Gold Mount) and every other lithium ion battery in flight situations, depending on location and airline. It is always best to call your airline before flying.

Q: 10. Will this fit on a Komodo X?

A: The Core SWX Helix V-Mount to V-Mount Hot Swap/Shark Fin Battery Mount Plate will mount onto the RED Komodo X's v-mount battery plate.

[2.675 lb] Used this battery on my Astra 6X and I got 3 solid hours out of it 5

[20 A 10 A] Bought this for my RED Epic and I couldn't be more impressed with the battery's performance. It is able to handle the camera and accessories with rock solid performance. Lasts almost 2 hours before a battery change. As my 98's wear out I will be sure to continued to replace them with the 150's. 5

[B-Mount] Very happy with this battery. I'm using it on an URSA Mini 4.6k. I used it for 4.5 hours, and it still had plenty of charge left. 5

Julio	07/08/2024
[2.675 lb] I'm using this for my Red Epic-W 8k. I tested with the camera shooting and it last for 1:30 hour. Very compact and light. 5

[147 Wh] Easy to install and works well for passing high voltage power from Helix batteries through to an Alexa 35 5

Brent	25/06/2024
[147 Wh] We've used a lot of V-mount batteries with various profiles for RED cameras, gimbals and lighting kits. I ordered 1 of these new batteries to test out and 10 minutes after it was delivered I turned around and ordered 3 more! It holds more power and is smaller and LIGHTER than even the Core 82Wh batteries... even the older ones with no display! The quality is top notch and these will now be our #1 battery we use in set. 5

[2.675 lb] This battery is much smaller, lighter, and more efficient than the previous model. It is even more compact and light than it appears online, and it fits the DSMC2 profile perfectly. My one complaint is that the display on the back can not be shut off manually. 5

[33.6 VDC] Given the limits on size and number of Li-Ion batteries you can travel with on a plane this is the charger I have been waiting for: in most use cases it allows you to charge batteries faster than you can discharge batteries - with a few catches. It can draw up to 8 amps so you need a decent circuit to plug into. Also it's not the most inexpensive charger in the Core lineup but I think it could pay for itself with this kind of performance. Recently had a day on Steadicam powering an Alexa 35 with a Teradek Bolt 6LT and Arri focus motor. We were able to rotate between just two 150wh batteries the whole day. It was great. One nit pick: the fuse holder on the back protrudes a bit and isn't the most sturdy. It just got catch on the foam in a case and broke a retaining clip. Easy fix and pretty simple to work around. As long as it holds up this is The One! 5

[5 V] Swapped to this plate from old v-mount plate on an Alexa XT. Working well and the Anton Bauer Dionics sit snugly on the back without any play. Battery info is transmitted to the camera display, which is also nice. A good upgrade! 5

Mark	19/04/2024
[20 A 10 A] Ordered 1 to see it in person. After seeing how small and light it was I ordered a second. I own the 83wh HC8's and these are remarkably smaller and higher wh. 5
