This B-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. An aluminum release lever ensures long-term durability.

Q: 1. What is the difference between this (BH #CONANOV150K4) and (BH #CONANOV150KQ)? Looks like the same product with different price

A: The Core SWX NANO Micro 147Wh 4-Battery Kit with Quad Travel Charger (V-Mount) BH #CONANOV150K4 and the Core SWX NANO Micro 147Wh 4-Battery Kit with Quad Travel Charger (V-Mount) BH #CONANOV150KQ are the same items, but different inventory.

Q: 2. 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.
