draw of up to 12A – they can be added or hot-swapped to ensure continuous shooting. Sharing the current demand between batteries prolongs their overall life, and PAG guarantees your product for two years, with unlimited cycles during that period. This newmodular design makes Mini PAGlink batteries fully-serviceable. The cell pack can be replaced by an authorised service centre and other battery modules reused, increasing sustainability. The case has soft-touch sides and robust, yet flexible construction to fend off any knocks. The batteries also have an easy-to-read, high-resolution display of runtime, capacity and battery data, also displayed in the camera VF/LCD. Keeping things as small and light as possible, PAG’s own micro charger unit is an ideal companion for the Mini batteries – but they can also be charge stacked using single-, two- or four-position V-Mount PAGlink chargers, as well as those of most other manufacturers. Mini PAGlink batteries are the solution for keeping everything lightweight, however far you plan on travelling.
units that can be easily swapped on set. Just slide a locking knob and the output unit is ejected, ready to be switched for a different type. Standard is a 5V/2A USB socket, but alternatives include Hirose, Lemo or D-Tap. But it’s in the intelligent linking technology that PAG really score. Clip together different PAGlink batteries to combine their capacities and provide more power, or use just one for a really lightweight solution – allowing you to control the capacity and weight of your power source to suit the application. The 50Wh MPL50 weighs just 350g and has a low-profile design, ideal for handheld camcorders, director’s monitors or audio equipment. It features outputs to power accessories with one fixed 12V D-Tap output, and the swappable USB socket. The new 99Wh MPL99 is perfect for larger cameras and also features dual D-Tap outputs. Unlike some mini or micro format batteries, Mini PAGlink offers intelligent linking for discharge or charging. Patented technology allows the linking of any Mini PAGlink V-Mount batteries, in any state of charge, to combine their capacities for longer runtime, or an increased current
a mission to Europa, one of Jupiter’s moons, a major testing programme was put in place. After all, 390 million miles away from planet Earth is no place for unreliable batteries. The Nasa Battery Workshop aimed to identify the ideal combination of energy and cycling stability, and the best capacity retention after 500 cycles. It was the cells that were also selected by PAG for Mini PAGlink batteries that came out on top. You might not be packing for a trip to space, but when it comes to flying around the world, the good news is that PAG’s new V-Mount Mini PAGlink Batteries are now available in flight-friendly 50Wh and 99Wh versions. These newMini PAGlink batteries have all the benefits of PAG’s unique linking battery technology, but in a lighter, more compact unit. They are ideal for use with smaller cameras and reducing weight for larger camera set-ups. For greater flexibility, the Mini PAGlink is the first battery series to feature output
