PAGlink 16 channel battery charger
LONDON–PAG introduces two new products in its battery and charger lines.
The new version of its Cube charger, designed for linked battery charging. The PAGlink battery system is a four-position V-Mount Li-Ion location charger capable of charging four individual or linked PAGlink batteries on each position, effectively making the PAGlink Cube a 16-channel charger.
PAGlink allows up to 8 batteries to be linked for charge or discharge. Its capacities can be combined for longer camera run-time or to provide up to 12A current for power hungry cameras and accessories, helping to diminish power concerns for high-load set-ups. “Cameramen have told us that battery management on location often involves setting an alarm for the middle of the night, so that they can put more batteries on charge. With PAGlink this is no longer necessary,” Sales Director Nigel Gardiner said. “At the end of a shoot, you simply link your batteries, connect them to the charger, and the next day they will all be charged and ready to go”.
Eight fully-discharged PAGlink batteries can be fully-charged in 10 hours, the status of which can be ascertained by an indicator on the battery’s individual display.
The PAGlink Cube can also be used to charge nonlinking PAG V-Mount Li-Ion batteries. The charger can be used to power your camera from any AC supply, using a PAG Camera Power Adaptor (Model 9701V, and it is capable of supplying approximately 100W (6A at 16.8V).
