The Mini PAGlink MPL50G Battery from PAG is a lithium-ion Gold mount battery featuring a linking design that allows multiple units to be attached and used together for extended runtimes and increased power draw. The small size of the MPL50G is ideal for use with smaller 4K cameras, keeping size and weight down. A single unit supports a total draw of 8A between camera and accessory power ports, while two units combine to support a 12A draw. The Gold mount MiniPAGlink batteries can be linked with both Gold mount MiniPAGlink and standard Gold mount PAGlink batteries in any combination.

The battery features an ABS body, and it has a modular design making it easy to have the battery re-celled by an authorized service facility. The front and rear contact assemblies can also be replaced if damaged, helping to protect your investment. The ABS body features a soft outer band for a good grip and improved handling. The battery passes information to cameras that support displaying battery information in the viewfinder. An integrated D-Tap supplies power for accessories, and the battery ships with a replaceable 2A USB port that can be swapped for a variety of other output ports. Two 1/4"-20 threaded mounting holes allow you to mount accessories directly onto the battery.

Q: 4. I don't understand, if you mount two mini's together, do they deplete at the same time? If so how can you "hot swap"

A: The PAG Mini PAGlink MPL50G Battery (50Wh) (B&H# PA7141) can join with another of its kind and the two would deplete at the same time, yes. When hot swapping, you would be replacing the battery that is not connected directly to the battery plate nor the D-tap cable. That way, it would not interrupt the power going to the battery plate or D-tap cable. There does need to be a bit of power in that battery in order for hot swapping to be possible, however. Fortunately, it's a quick procedure to remove one battery from the other and then add a freshly charged one in its stead.
