Core Swx Hypercore Prime 2-battery Kit With Fleet Micro Charger (v-mount)
- Product Code: ga45121
-
Featuring two independent charge bays, the Core SWX Fleet Micro 3A Digital Quad Charger for V-Mount Batteries is capable of simultaneously charging two batteries at 3A each. This means that two 98Wh batteries can be charged in approximately 2 hours. The on-board LCD display screen allows you to easily monitor your battery's smart battery data without needing to connect to a computer. The micro-USB connector allows for firmware updates and for connection to a PC.
The built-in Battery Management Test mode allows the charger to determine battery health and recharge performance. Activating the SafeFly mode forces the charger to discharge or charge connected batteries to a 30% charge level to meet air travel and shipping requirements. While plugged into an AC power source the Fleet Micro 3A Dual Charger can either charge batteries or be used as a camera power supply via the built-in 4-pin XLR. In the absence of AC power, you can use the charger to feed the 4-pin XLR from connected batteries providing unregulated power. The housing is made of aluminum, providing for a robust build.

Related Questions and Answers
Q: 1. 2 questions: 1) is the 3A charge current for each channel? 2) does this prioritize charge or 3A per channel constant?
A: The Core SWX Fleet D Gold Mount 2-Bay Charger (B&H# COFLEETD2A) supplies each battery a regulated 3A of charge current regardless of the number of batteries present. If two 98Wh batteries are installed, for example, then you can therefore expect a charge time of approximately 2.5 hours, although that does vary according to temperature and variances in battery chemistry.
Q: 2. Will this work with a RED Camera? I know they have there own HC line, but I wanted to have a beefy battery like this one that's double in power.
A: I have 6 of these with my RED Weapon works great. I use them with my Element Technica Gold module
Q: 3. Can these take a charge via the P-tap?
A: According to the The V-plate adapter manual there's no pass through to charge via P-TAP. I'm guessing this would be the same. You'd have to call the manufacturer to confirm.
Q: 4. Does the battery capacity degrade twice as fast because there are two batteries?
A: The battery will not degrade twice as fast. The system is designed so you can split apart the batteries for air travel, the two separate units will not go above the maximum Watt Hours allowed for a Lithium Ion Battery when split.
Q: 5. Is this battery really air-travel friendly, UN tested for air travel, even though it's above the TSA 98Wh limit?
A: Switronix is scrupulous in it's attention as to the suitability of their batteries for air travel. However, there is an error on the B&H site. The UN tested and certified for air travel is for only the 98 version. I shall alert the B&H Webteam as to the error. We apologize for any confusion and inconvenience this may have caused.
Q: 6. Are these airline safe?
A: While you will want to check with your airline directly for what they will allow regarding Lithium Batteries, at 98Wh these batteries should be allowed for Airline Travel.
Q: 7. Can you charge this with the USB port?
A: No, the USB is just an ouput.
Q: 8. Will these work with generic V-Mount cameras that aren’t RED?
A: These batteries use a different protocol for communication with RED cameras. You still may be able to use them with other V-Mount products, they just may not communicate over information properly. It would be a better idea to use the standard V-mount kit for non-RED products, BH #COGPX2SHC9MB. https://bhpho.to/2Kzavc7
Q: 9. Can this battery be used while separated? I know the half with the screen has no V-mount connection, but can the other half act as a slimmer standalone 95wh battery?
A: While you could do so in an emergency, it is not recommended for continuous use. The two halves are designed to work in concert and remain in balance. If you discharge one half, recharging will take longer so the balance can be restored.
Q: 10. Can this battery legally travel airborne?
A: You will want to check with your airline directly as restrictions on batteries frequently change. At this time you can travel with batteries that are above 100 Wh, you may just need to first get approval from the airline.
