Battery manufacturer Core SWX has expanded the Helix dual voltage batteries with the new Helix Max batteries. The smaller HLX-275MX with 18,5Ah and the larger HLX-360MX with 25,5 Ah are both available in a V-Mount, G-Mount, and B-Mount version. So, let’s have a closer look at these new powerhouses! Core SWX is a US battery manufacturer specialized in high-quality and innovative power solutions for the film industry. The Helix dual voltage battery line-up was originally introduced at the NAB in 2019. If you are not familiar with Helix batteries, please check this article about the launch. HLX-275MX and HLX-360MX – Source: Core SWX Helix Max 275 and 360 – features Helix Max battery line is focused on powering cinema cameras and lighting equipment, with a Native Dual Voltage of 14v/28v output for high voltage applications. Its design allows it to output up to 33.6v, drawing less current, creating less heat, and extending operational runtime. Additionally, Helix charges on all standard V-Mount and G-Mount Lithium-Ion equipment, allowing integration into a rental or production environment. Native dual-voltage batteries Core’s Native Dual Voltage platform is a power delivery system, which allows Helix Max battery packs to be compatible with 14v and up to 33.6v equipment and chargers, as well as high-voltage cinema camera equipment and lighting gear. With this platform, Helix Max batteries can provide up to 12A throughput at high voltage, and 24A throughput on low voltage devices. The native dual voltage platform allows for 100% efficient power transmission since there is...
