This B-mount Core SWX Helix Max 98Wh Li-Ion Dual-Voltage Battery B-Mountfrom Core SWX Helix Max 98Wh 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 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.

Q: 3. Do you need a special CoreSWX mounting plate to trigger high-voltage 28v mode even when mounting the battery to a 28v V-Mount plate, or is every 28v plate different from a 14v plate? It's not clear if it's a propriety mounting system or not.

A: Core lists that to unlock the high voltage output function, one would need a special Core battery plate to transmit.

Q: 4. What are the shooting temperatures that this battery wont be able to handle. I will be shooting a film in Arizona where temperatures can hit 110 degrees. Can it handle that? Any help would be great! Thank you

A: The units operating temperature, -4 to 122°F / -20 to 50°C.

Q: 5. Does this work with Alexa Mini LF ?

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

Q: 6. 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: 7. 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. 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. Will this work on a Sony FS7 MKI?

A: Yes

Q: 10. Most Aputure lights are rated for 14.8v 26v and 28v battery systems. Will this 29.6V battery be too much for Aputure lights?

A: The Core SWX APEX 360 High-Capacity 29.6V/367Wh High-Voltage Li-Ion V-Mount Battery can be used with Aputure lampheads that have a max DC voltage of 48V, such as the LS600X Pro.
