Q: 9. 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: 10. Does this come with a car lighter plug to charge from a vehicle in a pinch?
