Just like Anton Bauer last week, Hawk-Woods has announced a new line of B-mount batteries and two new chargers. With batteries ranging from 98Wh to a whopping 350Wh, the new Hawk-Woods B-Lok range should be able to handle even the most demanding workloads. The three new batteries of course all have the same output voltage of 26V, as this is the directive for B-mount batteries according to Bebob’s and ARRI’s definition of the standard. Read all about B-Mount batteries here. Three models are available: 98Wh (3.8Ah), 150Wh (5.8Ah) and 350Wh (13.5Ah). To properly and safely charge these new batteries, Hawk-Woods has also released two new chargers, a 2-channel and a 4-channel charger. image credit: Hawk-Woods Hawk-Woods B-Lok Batteries Both the 98Wh and 150Wh are flight-safe according to Hawk-Woods.

You’ll want to keep that in mind if you plan to fly with these models. All three models sport one multi-directional D-Tap and one USB-C port for charging/powering external accessories. All three models also provide direct communications with ARRI equipment, allowing you to select time remaining or percentage remaining. Of course, a 4-LED gauge is also available. image credit: Hawk-Woods As for weight and size, the list goes as follows: BL-98 (98Wh): 770g / 8.4 x 15.4 x 5.3 cmBL-150 (150Wh): 1.15kg / 8.4 x 15.4 x 6.4 cmBL-350 (350Wh): 1.61kg / 8.4 x 15.4 x 7.7 cm...
