PAG Upgrades Pocket-Sized,
Multi-Battery Charger
PAG is introducing an upgraded version of its ultra-compact
travel charger on stand 12.B36 (Aspectra)...

T

he new PAGlink V-Mount Micro
Charger features a tougher,
injection-moulded housing, and is
designed to accept DC as well as AC
input. These added benefits make it an
even more versatile location charger
for camera professionals who wish to
travel light.
The principle of the new Micro
Charger remains the same as the
original version: the charging unit,
which is small enough to fit in your

PAGlink Micro
Charger kit

pocket (73 x 62 x 31mm), clips onto
the V-Mount contacts of a single
PAGlink battery, which can be linked
to additional PAGlink batteries of any
rated capacity, in any state of charge.
The Micro Charger is intended for
charging up to four linked batteries.
The charging unit is then connected
to its power supply unit that enables
charging from AC supplies worldwide
(100-240V). Interchangeable power
plugs allow direct connection to
the AC supply without the need for
adaptors. The new charger can also be
powered from 5V-20V DC supplies. DC
power cables are included that allow
charging from a 12V vehicle battery,
via the dashboard cigarette lighter
socket, or a USB charger (2A). The
charging times will be similar when
powered from either an AC mains
supply or a 12V vehicle battery.
The ability to charge multiple

batteries using one charging channel
was developed by PAG and is unique
to the PAGlink system. The Micro
Charger will address the mostdischarged batteries first, until all
the batteries are in a similar state
of charge, it then fully-charges them
simultaneously, without intervention.
Three fully-discharged 96Wh batteries
will be fully-charged in 12 hours.
Charging time will be substantially less
when the batteries are only partially
discharged at the beginning, and when
they are removed after reaching 90%
capacity. The last 10% takes relatively
longer, because the charge rate is
reduced. PAGlink intelligent Li-Ion
batteries control their own charging
and lower the current automatically,
at the end of the process, which
contributes to a longer battery life.

completion, an absent battery, and
a faulty battery. PAG batteries offer
accurate, high-resolution state of
charge information, on their own
display. This allows you to monitor
closely their capacity, during charging.
The PAGlink V-Mount Micro Charger
can also be used for charging
sequentially individual non-linking
Li-Ion batteries manufactured by PAG
and Sony.
The
ultra-compact
lightweight
charger, its PSU and DC cables, will fit
easily in any camera bag. PAG claims
it is the broadcast industry's smallest,
most economic, multi-battery charger.
A Gold Mount version is also
available. www.paguk.com
