The PowerBase Edge series are the "Swiss Army Knives" of battery packs. It can be used as a standard v-mount pack, an under-camera mounted small-form cine pack, mounted under a handheld gimbal, as well as many other uses.
The pack is outfitted with a 7.4V port for most mirrorless camera power demands, as well as two USBs 5V outputs, and two 14V powertap outputs, covering nearly all video production powering applications.
The PowerBase Edge Link's linking feature allows you to connect packs together to parallel power. On the back of the V-mount camera that means 2x packs can provide 140Wh of power. The linking connections are discreetly placed under the battery pack's quick release plate to protect against inadvertent damage.
Compared to small form cine and mirrorless camera battery packs, the Powerbase Edge Link can provide up to 8x the power. Normal operational runtime on a Sony Alpha, BMD Pocket, RED Komodo or Panasonic GH camera can exceed several hours, perfect for an all day shoot.
The bult-in backlit display shows nominal run-time(25w load), percentage, and grid when in "standby"; while in "draw" the backlit display will show remaining runtime, percentage, and grid; and when charging the backlit display will show remaining charge time, battery percentage, and grid.
The Edge Link is outfitted with an updated dovetail style quick release plate for a more robust mounting solution. The quick release plate has a 1/4"-20 thread to attach under most cameras, and a 1/4"-20 receptable on the opposing side to mount on a tripod. In addition, the 1/2"-20 quick release plate can be used to attach the pack to any part of a camera cage's side, top, or anywhere with an available 1/4"20 thread.
The Edge Link is outfitted with a USB-C PD port capable of detecting the connected device to deliver to appropriate power to charge that device as fast as possible. This ensures fast charging without delivering too much power which could damage circuitry, meaning the same port can charge a mobile phone, tablet, or a laptop.
As with all CoreSWX batteries' offerings, there is an integrated p-tap (powertap/dtap) connector on the side of the battery, allowing you to power any 12vdc device from this port, which is a feature CoreSWX has had since its first battery, 17 years ago. With that said, once again through extensive R&D, CoreSWX is now offering a "Smart Tap" which will pull all battery data.
With our "ear to the ground," CoreSWX also know how important mobile devices are to production, and CoreSWX is one of the first companies to incorporate a USB port on the packs, providing accessible charging for your mobile devices.
The Powerbase Edge Link charges on all CoreSWX V-mount battery charers, as well as other manufacturers v-mount chargers such as: Sony, RED, and IDX. In addition, the battery pack can be charged via the p-tap with the CoreSWX PB70C15 charger.
After 7 days of inactivity the pack shuts down to preserve power. To wake up, simply put your pack to charge or press the reset button in between the terminals on the power tap.
All of the CoreSWX batteries that are travel safe have an Air Compliant label. We understand that our consumers are constantly on the go, therefore CoreSWX is dedicated to making their experience as smooth as possible.
