PAGlink HC-PL150T 150Wh 14.8V Time Battery - Gold Mount

The PAGlink HC-PL150T 150Wh 14.8V Time Battery - Gold Mount is a high-current replacement for your Anton Bauer Li-Ion batteries. The smaller and lighter PAGlink battery is compatible with your Gold Mount camera plates, PAGlink PowerHub, and with Anton Bauer Li-Ion chargers. There is no need to replace expensive chargers in order to benefit from the many advantages of PAG's revolutionary, intelligent linking battery technology.

PAGlink offered the industry's first intelligent linking battery system. It provides more power, more technological advances, and more benefits to camera professionals and than any other battery system. 

PAGlink batteries can be used individually or linked to power a variety of cameras and equipment used for broadcast acquisition, video production or digital cinematography.

Link-Up and Power-Up
PAGlink is the only system that allows you to combine the capacities of (2) batteries or more, in any state of charge, to achieve longer run-times or a higher current-draw. Up to 8 batteries can be linked for charge or discharge - an industry first.

Increased Capacity, Same Size

The PL150 takes advantage of the latest high-capacity Li-Ion cells in order to provide a greatly increased capacity of 150Wh, in the same enclosure as the PL94 PAGlink battery, and only 40g heavier.

The PL150 is designed for high power-consumption applications, such as a digital cinema camera and multiple accessories. Two batteries can be linked. Linking will combine their capacities to create a 300Wh power source with a weight of approximately 3.3 lb (1.5 kg). Linking three batteries provides 450Wh. No other system offers as much power.

The rated maximum continuous output for an individual battery is 10A, and 12A when batteries are linked. PAGlink delivers more power for camera configurations with multiple accessories. Hard-wearing, heavy-duty contacts are incorporated for high-current applications. Linking batteries shares the load and contributes to an extended battery life. No other battery system offers such good return on investment.

• Size: 5.07 x 3.42 x 2.28" (129 x 87 x 58mm)
• Weight: 1.69 lb (0.77 kg)

Compliant with Air Transport Regulations

The PL150 has a capacity above 100Wh, but below 160Wh, and has an allowance of 2 units per person, in carry-on luggage, when you travel by air (as of this posting on most airlines).* Li-Ion batteries that have capacities greater than 160Wh are banned from passenger aircraft.

The PL150 has been tested to UN standards by an independent authority and certified to comply with air transport safety regulations.

Each PAG Li-Ion battery is labelled with its UN Test number and air travel quantity allowance, based on its capacity.

The PAGlink Network

Linked batteries form a network that enables them to communicate with each other, managing the output safely, and preventing the transfer of charge between batteries. Unlike other systems, the linked batteries can be in any state of charge. PAGlink also allows batteries to be hot-swapped for continuous, uninterrupted power, putting an end to time-consuming camera reboots during shooting.

Smaller & Lighter Batteries

As well as being more intelligent, PAGlink batteries are smaller and lighter, with a higher energy density than any Gold Mount system marketed to date.

Flexible Linking

The PL150 can be linked to any other PAGlink Gold Mount battery for charge or discharge, regardless of rated capacity or state-of-charge.

Run-Time & Capacity Display

The battery incorporates a numeric Run-Time & Capacity display, unique to PAG. Remaining run-time is shown, on-load, expressed in hours and minutes, to a resolution of 1 minute. When batteries are linked, the run-time figure is for the entire stack, but a single button press shows individual battery capacity as a percentage of full, in 1% increments. The display maintains its accuracy by tracking the performance, and adjusting calibration values to compensate for the ageing of the cells.

In-Viewfinder Information

PAGlink batteries communicate automatically with the camera data system that allows Anton Bauer batteries to display their remaining capacity in the viewfinder and LCD.

Linked Battery Charging

Linked battery charging was developed by PAG and is unique to the PAGlink system. It is more efficient because it allows more batteries to be charged on fewer and smaller chargers, with less user-intervention.

PAGlink allows up to (8) batteries of any rated capacity, in any state of charge, to be linked for charging.

The batteries control their own charge regime which means that Anton Bauer Li-Ion chargers can be used. The number of batteries that can be charged linked is dependent on the charger model and firmware version.

Using your PAGlink chargers is the best way to ensure the longest possible battery life. The 2-position PL16 charger (Model 9707A) will charge simultaneously up to 16 PAGlink Gold Mount batteries (8 on each position).

Status during charging is indicated on the PAGlink battery’s individual display, which can be inverted for legibility, with a single button press.

PAGlink batteries can be left stacked on the charger, which will keep them topped-off until they are needed, instead of self-discharging on the shelf.

Battery Data

PAGlink batteries store data in their microprocessor, such as number of cycles and software version, which can be revealed using your PAGlink Gold Mount Battery Reader (Model 9647A). This information is designed to make battery management easier and more efficient.

Future-Proof Batteries

PAGlink battery firmware can be updated in the field by the user, in a matter of seconds, without opening the battery case. Updates enable you to benefit from the technological advances that PAG introduces to accommodate developments in camera technology.

Premier Quality Branded Li-Ion Cells

PAGlink batteries feature long-life, premier-quality Li-Ion cells, which have no memory effect, and are completely recyclable. In keeping with PAG’s total battery design philosophy, PAGlink batteries are constructed to provide the longest possible working life.

Ultra-Tough Construction

The battery case is manufactured from high-impact, injection-moulded polycarbonate which is inherently very strong and also used for motorcycle crash helmets. The internal case design also protects the cell-pack against damaging impact.

Superior Protection System

The battery features a multi-level electronic protection system which is fail-safe and guards against conditions that reduce battery life. The circuits are coated to protect them from electrolyte and ensure the operation of the safety systems in the event of damage to the battery.
