PAGlink Keeps Accessories
Powered-Up
P

AG will bring a complement of
new lightweight and compact
accessories for its PAGlink battery
systems to NAB 2018.
The company will highlight devices at
NAB that power multiple accessories,
enable linked charging from an ultramini form-factor, and allow users to
easily access battery data.
PAGlink,
PAG's
well-established
battery system is designed to power a
broad range of cameras and multiple
accessories for both broadcast
and cinema camera applications.
Available in Gold Mount and V-Mount
formats, PAGlink comprises compact,
lightweight,
intelligent
linking
batteries, available in 94Wh or
150Wh capacities. When linked, the
battery capacities are combined and
discharge together to allow a current
draw of 12A. Sharing the current
demand prolongs overall battery
life and provides a better return on
investment. 94Wh Paglink batteries
are guaranteed for three years.

PAG's PAGlink PowerHub is a
lightweight, ultra-compact and userconfigurable camera accessory power
device that eliminates the need to
build D-Taps into a battery. Instead,
the unit provides the outputs required
to power camera set-ups that feature
multiple 12V accessories such as a
camera light, monitor, or audio and
transmission devices.
Designed for use between two PAGlink
Gold Mount batteries, while only
increasing the depth of the battery
stack by12mm, PowerHub maintains
hot-swap capability while keeping
accessories powered-up. Four D-Tap
connectors are supplied as standard,
and a USB connector (5V, 1A) is
included to power smartphones or
similar low-voltage devices. These
connectors
are
interchangeable
with Lemo (2-pin), Hirose (4 pin) or
2.1mm (PP90) connectors, available
as options, and can be used in any
of the five ports. Connectors can be
configured in any combination to meet

PAGlink Gold Mount PowerHub

any user requirement.
The PAGlink Micro Charger, the world's
smallest (2.8 x 2.5 x 1.3in), single
position multi-battery charging kit,
serves as the ideal light-traveling
linked-charging companion for PAGlink
batteries.
Building on the success of PAG's
unique linked battery charging feature,
the low-cost, ultra-compact Micro
Charger clips onto the contacts of one
battery and links to another three
for simultaneous charging of up to
four units. The Micro Charger can be

powered from any AC outlet worldwide
via a PSU adapter, a 12V vehicle
battery, or a USB charger (2A). The
PSU and DC power cables are included
in the package.
Managing PAGlink or Anton/Bauer
Gold Mount batteries efficiently by
using data stored in their processor
can be easily achieved using the new
PAG Battery Reader. The Reader
clips onto the battery contacts and
displays the number of cycles, date
of manufacture, capacity in Ah, and
more. It also initiates the battery sleep
function.
All featured products are currently
available and shipping.
