This B-mount Core SWX Helix Max 147Wh Li-Ion Dual-Voltage Battery B-Mountfrom Core SWX Helix Max 147Wh Li-Ion Dual-Voltage Battery B-Mountexpands 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.
