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-Q4MAi Fast Simultaneous Li-ion Quad Charger - Gold Mount features Voltbridge Wireless Charger Fleet management technology, and an integrated LCD to monitor battery pack smart data. This unit will charge up to (4) 98Wh batteries in under 2.5 hours, and features a test mode to check battery health and recharge performance. This data can be viewed and managed with a PC application via a rear micro USB port, which also doubles as an input for future firmware upgrades (via free web download).
In addition to battery management, the Fleet Intelligent Charger Series includes a SafeFly mode. With one touch of the onboard membrane button console or via the Voltbridge App, the chargers will either charge the connected packs to up to 30% or discharge to under 30%, depending on the charge state of connected batteries. One-touch operation allows you to quickly prepare batteries for air travel or shipment.
The Fleet intelligent series is compatible with Core SWX batteries and those offered by Anton/Bauer, RED, et al. Once the battery pack is connected, the charger first determines battery chemistry and then make and model to properly charge the pack to optimal capacity. The charger can simultaneously and automatically do this for up to (4) batteries, thanks to a microprocessor-driven circuit design.
The charger features an integrated 90W DC 4-pin XLR power supply for most cameras, and also doubles as a battery bank when in "Hypercine" power supply mode (unregulated 12-16.8V DC output). The charger parallels all the onboard battery packs to provide continuous power, and the LCD indicates available capacity and remaining runtime. With an optional "Hypercine module" (sold separately), the charger can provide both unregulated 12-16.8V 4-pin XLR and 28V regulated 3-pin XLR DC outputs.
The FLEET-Q4MAi is backed by a 3 year manufacturer's warranty, and is made in the USA.
The Core SWX Helix PMC (Power Management Control) Battery Mount Plate for ARRI ALEXA Mini LF / Mini - Gold Mount clamps to 15mm LWS rods for use with your ARRI ALEXA Mini LF or ALEXA Mini camera, featuring high voltage output up to 33.6V DC, maximizing efficiency for the camera system. The PMC also prioritizes AC (Mains) Power or Block Battery sources, and standardizes your camera systems to 2-pin Fischer power input. Accepts standard 14V Gold Mount onboard batteries for all standard voltage applications. An onboard LCD indicates power levels and battery management information.
