We talked to PAG representative Matthew Field about their new Mini PAGlink batteries and the PAGlink Micro Charger. Both products are available in V-Mount and Gold Mount. Mini PAGlink Batteries The new stackable Mini PAGlink batteries for both V-Mount and Gold Mount are designed to power smaller cameras (such as the EVA1, the Sony FS5 or even small mirrorless cameras) and their accessories. They come in two sizes – 50Wh and 100Wh and offer PAG’s smart linking technology. Up to 8 batteries can be linked (stacked) together on a camera and up to 4 for charging. Once one battery is drained, it will act as a kind of a hot swap plate and the next battery in line will be used. It is even possible to mix 50Wh and 100Wh batteries in any state-of-charge to be linked. Their capacities can be accessed in combination, allowing a current draw of up to 12A. A linked battery can be added or hot-swapped at any time. The batteries feature built-in 12V outputs to power accessories and each battery includes a fixed D-Tap output, as well as a removable module with 2A USB that can be swapped for a Lemo, Hirose or other D-Tap. PAG’s new mini batteries are compatible with larger V-Mount and Gold Mount plates. Directly visible on the battery itself, there is a numeric display of run-time on-load, available capacity percentage and the number of charge/discharge cycles. The batteries offer digital communication, which enables them to display capacity values in the camera VF/ LCD....
