Overview
This bundle includes the following items:
The Core SWX Helix 9 Mini 98Wh 14.8V Dual Voltage Lithium-ion Battery Pack - Gold Mount encompasses all the features of Hypercore, with the added function of dual 14V/28V* simultaneous output. Helix takes advantage of proprietary technology for ultra efficient, nearly lossless power transmission to high voltage operating equipment at a 99% efficiency rate. This unique design allows each Helix battery to output up to 33.6V, within the top range of high voltage acceptance, thus drawing less current, creating less heat. and extending both operational runtime and product longevity.
*NOTE: The mean voltage rating of Helix outputs are 14V and 28V, with a maximum charge rating of 16.8V and 33.6V, respectively; most high voltage range equipment accepts up to 34V.
Safe for Standard Voltage Systems
Helix's infrastructure allows each pack to function as a standard 14V Gold Mount battery in all applications, without the fear of accidentally transmitting higher voltage. Along with standard power applications, Helix charges on all standard Lithium-ion charging device (including Anton/Bauer), permitting seamless integration with your current fleet of onboard power options.
High Voltage Output
To unlock the high voltage output function, couple Helix with a Core SWX mount plate (sold separately). Once mounted, the battery pack will transmit the higher voltage efficiently to the camera, yet still have access to 14V for other production accessories. In addition, the battery mount plates are compatible with standard on-board battery packs, so you can continue to use your existing onboard batteries on a wide range of cameras with different input voltage requirements (ARRI AMIRA, ALEXA, ALEXA MINI, etc.) when using a Helix mount.
The Core SWX Fleet-DM2A Fleet Micro Digital Simultaneous Dual Charger - 3-Stud (Gold) Mount offers a complete battery management system for your battery “Fleet,” including an onboard LCD to monitor intelligent battery data. In addition to being the fastest battery charger in the industry today (four 98Wh packs in under 2.5 hours), this charger offers a test mode to determine battery health and recharge performance. With the inclusion of a micro USB port on the rear of the unit, that data can then be viewed and managed via a PC application. The micro USB port doubles as an input for future free firmware upgrades (downloadable via the web).
In addition to battery management, the Fleet Micro charger includes SafeFly mode. With one touch of the onboard membrane-button console, the charger will either charge the connected packs up to 30% or discharge to under 30%, depending on current state of charge of connected batteries. 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 cross-compatible, able to charge not only Core SWX battery packs, but also those offered by Anton/Bauer, and more. Compatibility provides peace of mind that whether you’re on location with multiple crews, charging legacy packs, or building your rental fleet, the Fleet Micro has you covered.
This charger includes a 90W, 4-pin XLR power supply, compatible with most cameras. In addition to the onboard power supply, the charger doubles as a battery bank when in “Hypercine” power supply mode (unregulated, 12-16.8V DC). The charger parallels all onboard battery packs to provide continuous power, and the charger’s LCD reports back available capacity as well as remaining runtime.
NOTE: With the optional “Hypercine module” (sold separately), the charger provides both unregulated 12-16.8V 4-pin XLR, as well as 28V regulated 3-pin XLR DC outputs.
