Core SWX Hypercore G3 99V Lithium-Ion Battery - V-Mount

The Core SWX Hypercore G3 99V Lithium-Ion Battery is a professional-grade V-Mount power solution designed for cinematographers, videographers, and broadcast crews who need dependable mobile power in a compact form factor. With a 99Wh capacity and 14.8V nominal output, this battery is well suited for powering a wide range of professional cameras, monitors, wireless systems, recorders, and compact lighting accessories used on location or in the studio.

Compatible With

• V-Mount cameras and power systems from RED Digital Cinema
• Blackmagic Design cinema cameras and accessories using compatible V-Mount plates
• Sony professional video and cinema rigs using V-Mount battery plates
• Canon cinema camera setups using compatible V-Mount adapters or plates
• Other cameras, lights, and accessories that accept standard V-Mount batteries

Compact Power for Professional Production

The 99Wh capacity strikes an excellent balance between runtime and portability. It offers enough energy for many camera builds while remaining easier to transport than higher-capacity brick batteries. For owner-operators, documentary shooters, event filmmakers, and rental departments, this capacity class is especially attractive because it can fit a wide variety of rigs without adding excessive weight.

Reliable V-Mount Integration

The industry-standard V-Mount connector ensures broad compatibility with professional cinema and broadcast equipment. Whether mounted directly to a camera, attached to a battery plate on a rig, or used with a power distribution box, the Hypercore G3 99V fits seamlessly into established workflows. V-Mount batteries remain a preferred choice in professional production because they allow quick battery swaps and secure mechanical mounting in the field.

Hypercore G3 Platform Advantages

Core SWX has built the Hypercore line to meet the needs of demanding video professionals, and the G3 generation continues that focus with modernized battery management and field-oriented reliability. These batteries are engineered for stable output, efficient operation, and dependable communication with compatible charging solutions and power accessories. For crews working on time-sensitive shoots, a trustworthy battery platform can make a major difference in minimizing downtime.

Ideal for Cameras, Monitors, and Accessories

This battery is suitable not only for camera bodies but also for a wide array of production accessories when used with the appropriate plates or distribution systems. It can serve as part of a complete mobile power setup for field monitors, wireless video transmitters, follow focus systems, onboard recorders, and other equipment commonly found on cinema rigs. Its compact size makes it particularly useful for gimbal-adjacent builds, lightweight shoulder rigs, and run-and-gun configurations where space and weight are at a premium.

Travel-Friendly 99Wh Capacity

One of the biggest advantages of a 99Wh battery is its popularity among traveling production professionals. Batteries in this capacity range are often chosen for airline travel because they generally fall below the 100Wh threshold commonly referenced in air-travel battery guidelines. Travelers should always confirm current airline and regulatory rules before flying, but this class of battery is widely favored by crews who need a practical combination of legal transportability and professional runtime.

Built for Real-World Production Use

Core SWX products are widely recognized in the professional video industry for robust design and practical usability. In real-world operation, batteries like the Hypercore G3 are expected to endure repeated charging cycles, transport between locations, frequent mounting and dismounting, and long days on set. This makes build quality, connection reliability, and stable power output especially important, and those are exactly the kinds of priorities that make professional battery systems distinct from consumer-grade options.

How It Compares to Larger V-Mount Batteries

Compared with 150Wh or 190Wh V-Mount batteries, the Hypercore G3 99V offers less total runtime but greater portability and easier travel logistics. Larger batteries are often better for high-draw fixtures or all-day uninterrupted setups, while a 99Wh battery is frequently the better choice for mobile rigs, compact camera builds, and travel kits. Many professionals keep multiple 99Wh batteries on hand rather than relying on one or two larger packs, allowing faster rotation and simpler packing.

How It Compares to Smaller Internal Camera Batteries

Compared to proprietary camera batteries, a V-Mount battery like this delivers significantly more power capacity and greater flexibility. Instead of powering only a single camera body, it can often support an entire production rig through one centralized source. This reduces battery swaps, simplifies cable management when used with the correct accessories, and makes it easier to build scalable power systems for professional shoots.

Recommended Accessories

To get the most from the Hypercore G3 99V, consider pairing it with a compatible Core SWX or third-party V-Mount charger, a V-Mount battery plate for your specific camera or rig, D-Tap or regulated power cables for accessories, and a padded battery case for safe transport. Productions using multiple batteries may also benefit from a dual-bay or quad charger to streamline turnaround between shooting days.

Usage Tips

For best long-term performance, use a charger designed for V-Mount lithium-ion batteries, avoid storing the battery fully depleted for extended periods, and keep electrical contacts clean and protected during transport. If the battery will be stored for a long time, follow best practices for partial-charge storage as recommended by the manufacturer. Rotating batteries evenly across your kit can also help maintain consistent lifecycle performance.
