PAG Debuts Higher-Capacity
Linking Batteries

P

AG's new PL150 Series of
Intelligent
Linking
PAGlink
Batteries will make their European
debut at IBC, on the Alphatron stand.
The 150Wh batteries will begin
shipping in the month prior to the
show.
Those seeking a high-capacity Li-Ion
battery, with a high-current capability,
in a more compact and lightweight
format than ever before, have their
dreams answered.
The new PAGlink PL150 batteries
utilise the latest high-capacity Li-Ion
cells, to offer an increased capacity of
150Wh - 50% more than PAG's PL96
batteries - with no increase in size. The
150Wh model is housed in the same
case as the established
96Wh
battery,
ensuring the highest
energy density of
any Li-Ion battery
of equivalent capacity
brought to market.

The two V-Mount options offer a
choice between PAG's now familiar
five-light Run-Time & Capacity
Indicator or the higher-resolution,
and more convenient, numeric RunTime & Capacity Display. Both provide
remaining run-time information at
the press of a button. The Gold Mount
PL150 features a numeric display
and a higher individual current-draw
capability (10A compared to the
V-Mount's 8A).
When PAGlink batteries are linked
their
continuous
current-draw
capability is increased to 12A. This
is ideal for powering digital cinema
cameras and multiple accessories
simultaneously. D-Tap, USB and
other outputs of your choice
are provided by the
PAGlink
PowerHub.
This low-profile plate
sits
between
two
PAGlink
batteries,
maintaining their hot-

swap capability, and
allowing continuous
power.
Every
functional
benefit of the PAGlink
system is maintained with the new
PL150 Series. Batteries can be linked
to multiply capacity and greatly extend
run-time. Two 150Wh batteries become
a 300Wh power source when linked,
weighing little more than 1.5kg. Having
all the power you need means fewer
time-wasting camera reboots. Linking
batteries for discharge also increases
their cycle life, because the current
demand is shared.
In keeping with the latest PAGdeveloped technology, the PL150
Series communicates automatically
with multiple camera data systems
and displays remaining capacity in the
camera viewfinder/LCD. The batteries
can be programmed easily by the
user to display capacity with the Red
system.

The PAG PL150 options

The new 150Wh batteries can be
linked with the 96Wh PAGlink models
for charge or discharge. As many
as eight batteries can be linked for
either function, managed safely by the
PAGlink intelligent technology. A twoposition PAGlink charger will charge 16
batteries simultaneously.
Reliability, durability and the
highest safety standard are integral
to the battery design and consistent
across PAG's range of batteries.
The PL150 Series has been tested
by an independent authority to UN
standards, in compliance with air
transport regulations. A capacity
above 100Wh but below 160Wh means
that you can fly with two units per
person in carry-on luggage.
