This Gold mount Helix Max 147Wh Lithium-Ion Dual-Voltage Battery from Core SWX expands 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 screen to monitor the runtime and total battery percentage. Adding the separately available Helix hot-swap plate can double the available battery capacity and runtimes.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Any advantages to using this on a camera that doesn't need high voltage?

A: You have the ability to add more battery capacity for a longer battery life and the ability to hot swap batteries.

Q: 2. Does this work with Alexa Mini LF ?

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

Q: 3. Can i use 26V batteries on it?

A: The mount of the Core SWX Helix Power Management Control Mount for ARRI Cameras (Gold Mount) is able to accept 11-34V DC power.

Q: 4. Whats the output on the Ptap? For example can my smallHD 7" or my taradek run off the Ptap? Or do I need a downconverter to 12V?

A: You will not need a regulator when using the 12V P-TAP/D-TAP output on the Core SWX Helix Max 275. You, will be able to power your display, and Teradek transmitter from the batteries D-TAP output.

Q: 5. Will this power the Red V-Raptor XL and Alexa 35?

A: The ALEXA 35 is B-Mount and whichever form factor you went with, would need to be converted to operate this camera. Because the Core SWX Helix 150 Mini 147Wh Dual-Voltage Battery battery has Dual-Voltage mode and can produce 28V output, it CAN power the ALEXA 35. The Core SWX Helix 150 Mini 147Wh Dual-Voltage Battery can also power the RED Digital Cinema V-Raptor, however it must be done with D-TAP, because the battery is too wide to be mounted directly onto the V-Raptor itself.

Q: 6. Does this 3pin XLR output 24v from Helix Max?

A: According to the manufacturer, yes, the 3-pin XLR output on the Core SWX Helix Battery Plate with Light Stand Clamp for ARRI SkyPanel S30 and S60 (Gold Mount) does output 24V from the Helix MAX.

Q: 7. Can we use regular gold mount charger to charge the dual voltage batteries or do I need the specific dual voltage charger?

A: According to Core SWX, "Along with standard powering applications, Helix charges on all standard v-mount and gold mount Lithium-Ion equipment, including Anton/Bauer, allowing it to seamlessly integrate into your current fleet of battery packs." As such the Core SWX Helix Max 147Wh Lithium-Ion Dual-Voltage Battery (Gold Mount), would be supported by standard chargers.

Q: 8. Are there any P-taps on this unit?

A: It has 1 P-tap.

Q: 9. 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: 10. 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.
