The Swit BIVO-98 is a Bi-Voltage B-mount battery that operates at 14.4V (11-16.8V) and 28.8V (22-33.6V) and is compatible with ARRI cameras and various regular voltage cameras and cine gear. The battery recognizes the ID pin resistor value of the B-mount plate and outputs either 14.4V or 28.8V, without any risks of misuse.
98Wh Fly Friendly Capacity
The BIVO-98 battery is only 38mm thick and weighs 668g, making it lightweight for handheld shooting. With a capacity of 98Wh, it can run for at least 1 hour on the ARRI ALEXA 35 camera and is not restricted for use on airplanes. The battery provides at least 150W constant power load for cine cameras and devices.
2x D-tap Power Output
The BIVO-98 provides 2x D-tap power sockets. When the battery operates at 14.4V voltage, the D-tap outputs 11-16.8V. When the battery operates at 28.8V voltage, the D-tap output is regulated to 16V, powering all kinds of camera-top devices.
BIVO Series Family
The BIVO series Bi-voltage B-mount battery family has different sizes and capacities, including 98Wh, 160Wh, 196Wh, and 290Wh. It provides a range of options for stabilizer handheld light weight or long time power selection.
LED Power/Voltage Indicators
The BIVO-98 has 4-level LED power indicators and an independent blue LED to indicate battery voltage. When the battery is attached to the B-mount plate, the blue LED turns on to indicate the battery outputs 28.8V high voltage. The blue LED turns off to indicate the battery is 14.4V regular voltage.
33.6V Fast Charging
You can charge 4x BIVO-98 batteries simultaneously on the SWIT PC-P461B B-mount charger, with 33.6V, 50W fast charging. The charger takes approximately 3 hours to fully charge 4x BIVO-98 batteries.
LED Torch
You can double press the Power Check button to switch on the LED torch on the rear side of the battery, helping you find the B-mount plate in dark production environments. Double press the Power Check button again to switch off the light, which will also automatically switch off after 30 seconds.
1.2 Meters Drop-off Proof
The BIVO-98 battery can survive a 1.2-meter drop-off at any angle, making it strong and reliable for filmmakers.
