PB-R290S is a 290Wh V-mount battery, for Cine and ENG cameras, with latest designed dual housing heavy duty structure, drop-off proof. The battery supports high load, fast charging and digital power info display, which is an ideal power solution for field applications.

Strong Protective Structure

Dual housing + Robber cover

PB-R290S has innovative dual housing structure: the inner cell cage and outer anti-shock housing with rubber covers. The new structure makes the battery quite strong, anti-shock, protects the battery from drop-off accident.

290Wh / 20.1Ah Capacity

Consists of 24pcs high class 18650 battery cells, and reaches 290Wh / 20.1Ah high capacity.
Can run approx 11 hours for normal ENG cameras, and approx 3.5 hours for ARRI ALEXA.

High Load for Cine Cameras

Max 200W / 16A constant output

Normal Li-ion batteries offer 100W/8A output and suitable for most ENG cameras, but the Cine Cameras such as ALEXA require around 85W high draw which is too heavy for the normal Li-ion batteries: the battery life will be reduced if long time full draw powering. Moreover, if there’re monitor, lighting work together, and total power will be above 100W, and the normal batteries cannot draw completely.

Using PB-R290S high-load battery, you can get MAX 200W/16A constant power output, which can drive more high power cameras, lightings and other equipments easily, and won’t reduce battery life during long time high power output.

6A Fast Charging

PB-R series batteries can be charged using the Swit S-3812S fast charger.

Supporting 6A fast charging allows you to charge your batteries in half the time, charging from 0% to 80% is just 1.5hrs and up to 100% charge with 2.5hrs.

Digital Power Info

8-LED + SONY&RED viewfinder info

PB-R290S has the innovative 8-LED power indicators. When free or charging, the LEDs will indicate current capacity percentage, and when battery is discharging, the LEDs will display the remaining running time at the current discharging power, accurate to 15 minutes. Meanwhile, the battery pack adopts intelligent digital info chip that compatible with both SONY & RED camera info system, and can display remaining minutes on camera viewfinder.

D-tap Socket

A D-tap DC output socket is equipped on the top side of the battery pack, to power the other on-camera equipments together.
The Max output current of D-tap is 10A.

Product Specification

Operation Temperature 0-40°C
Net weight Approx 1.51kg
Dimensions 162×101×69mm

High Quality Lithium cells

For 20 years, SWIT has been leading brand of broadcast camera batteries. The first reason is the high quality Lithium cells we adopted.
The high quality cells featured long life, durable, safety, and most of all, the cells has very little difference to each other, which ensures the high performance of the whole battery pack.

Moreover, the cells we’re using, have a smooth discharging curve by voltage, so that you can judge the remaining running time accordingly. Also when in storage, the self-discharging rates are very little, that extends the battery life effectively.

Strong Protective Structure

Dual housing + Robber cover

SWIT new generation heavy duty batteries have innovative dual housing structure: the inner cell cage and outer anti-shock housing with rubber covers. The new structure makes the battery quite strong, anti-shock, protects the battery from drop-off accident.

8-LED Power Indicators

When battery is discharging:
Press “Power Check” button, Upper 4 LEDs display remaining working hours, and Lower 4 LEDs display remaining working minutes, under current output power.
When battery is charging:
Upper 4 LEDs flashing constantly, indicates the real-time capacity percentage 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%.
When battery is free:
Press “Power Check” button, Upper 4 LEDs light up, to indicate the remaining capacity percentage 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%.

Multiple Safety Protection Circuit

The battery has an MCU to measure and record the real time data, and will cut off power when over-voltage, under-voltage, over-current, high-temperature of low-temperature is detected.

Cell Balance Adjustment

After the batteries are used for a period of time, the cells voltage might get difference, and our specially designed circuit can optimize the imbalanced cells, to prolong the battery life.
