This V-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. The V-mount battery supports SMBus camera and charger communication.

Q: 1. 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.
