This V-mount Core SWX Helix Max 147Wh V-Mount Lithium-Ion Batteryfrom Core SWX Helix Max 147Wh V-Mount Lithium-Ion Batteryexpands 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. The V-mount battery supports SMBus camera and charger communication.

Q: 5. 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: 8. What is the best Core SWX battery dual charger for this battery?

A: The Fleet Micro series (FLEET-DM2A or FLEET-DM2S) of chargers are the most advanced in the industry. The chargers offer a complete battery management system for your battery “Fleet,” including an on-board LCD to monitor the battery packs’ smart battery data. Besides being the fastest battery charger in the industry today(four 98wh packs in under 2 1/2hrs.), the charger offers a TEST mode to determine battery health and recharge performance. With the inclusion of a micro USB on the rear of the unit, that data can then be viewed and managed with a PC application. The micro USB doubles as an input for future free firmware upgrades(downloadable via the web). In addition to battery management, the Fleet Micro chargers includes SafeFly mode. With one touch of the onboard membrane button console, the charger will either charge the connected packs to up to 30% or discharge to under 30%, depending on the state of charge of those connected. The one-touch operation allows you to quickly prepare all packs for air travel or shipment. This feature can also be applied to a single connected pack. The Fleet Micro series is also the most cross-compatible, able to address not only Core SWX battery packs but those offered by RED, Anton/Bauer, and many more. With this additional charge compatibility, it provides piece of mind that whether you’re on location with multiple crews, charging legacy packs, or your rental Fleet, the Fleet Micro has you covered. The series includes a 90w DC 4-pin XLR power supply to power most cameras. In addition to the on-board power supply, the charger doubles as a battery bank when in “Hypercine” power supply mode(unregulated 12v-16.8v DC). The charger parallels all the on-board battery packs to provide continuous power, and the charger’s LCD reports back available capacity as well as remaining runtime. With the optional “Hypercine module,” the charger provides both unregulated 12v-16.8v 4-pin XLR, as well as 28v regulated 3-pin XLR DC outputs.

Q: 9. I notice the 98wh max load is 10amp and the 147wh is 12amp. Is there a real world situation where 10amps is insufficient?

A: There are some devices that require higher than 10 amp power draw.

Q: 10. 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.
