Mini PAGlink MPL50 V-Mount Battery

First PAGlink, Now Mini PAGlink

Mini PAGlink combines all the benefits of PAG’s intelligent linking technology with a reduced form factor and increased durability. PAG’s patented battery linking technology remains far in advance of any other camera battery system available today.

The MPL99V is a 99Wh battery, designed to complement the dimensions of smaller cameras, but equally desirable for larger cameras. It will power cameras in combination with accessories such as lights and monitors. It provides a single, superior power source for your camera set-up.

The MPL99V features built-in outputs that the cameras lack: 2 fixed D-Tap for 12V accessories and a USB unit (5V 2A), which can be swapped easily by the user for a plug-in Lemo, Hirose or D-Tap connector unit.

Less Weight or More Power

With intelligent battery linking, you can control the capacity and weight of your power source to suit the application: 1 battery for handheld applications, 2 to 3 batteries for more current or longer run-time. Linking two 99Wh MPL99V batteries doubles the capacity to 198Wh; 3 batteries provide 297Wh.

NASA Approved Cells

PAG’s Mini PAGlink batteries feature the highest-quality Li-Ion cells, selected by the NASA for their mission to Europa, one of Jupiter’s moons. The NASA Battery Workshop found they offered ‘the most favourable combination of energy and cycling stability and high rate capability up to 10A’. They also demonstrated the best capacity retention after 500 cycles.

Hot-Swap or Add

PAGlink allows seamless hot-swapping for continuous power, or the ability to add another battery just to keep shooting; putting an end to time-consuming camera reboots.

No Dead Weight

Simultaneous rather than sequential discharge means that there are no unused batteries adding dead weight to the camera.

Intelligent Linking

When linked, the batteries form a network that enables them to communicate with each other, managing the output safely, and preventing the transfer of charge between batteries. A fully-charged battery can be linked safely to one that is fully-discharged.

More Current & Better ROI

When batteries are linked and in similar state of charge, the current-draw capability increases from 10A to 12A. This is ideal for camera set-ups that require power for multiple accessories. Sharing the current load between batteries contributes to an extended overall battery life and a better return on investment. PAG guarantees the MPL99V for 2 years, with no limit on the number of cycles during that period.

Compatibility & Integration

The MP99V is compatible with full-size V-Mount camera plates. It can be linked to any Mini PAGlink V-Mount battery for discharging or charging, regardless of rated capacity. It can be charged using PAGlink or other manufacturer’s V-Mount chargers, for maximum versatility and economic integration.

More Mounting Positions

Each battery features two 1/4" bush inserts. These can be used for mounting camera accessories to individual or linked batteries.

Run-Time, Capacity & Data

PAG’s unique battery display shows remaining run-time, on-load, in hours and minutes. When batteries are linked, the run-time figure is for the entire stack. A single button press shows individual battery capacity as a percentage of full, in 1% increments. 3 button presses - hold, provides access to the data menu where amongst other useful information, the number of cycles can be displayed. This data is designed to assist with battery management.

In-Viewfinder Information

MPL99V batteries communicate automatically with multiple camera data systems, to display their remaining capacity in the viewfinder and LCD.

Flight Friendly

The MPL99V is a 99Wh battery and included in your personal allowance of 20 units of 100Wh or below, when you fly. All PAG Li-Ion batteries are tested to UN standards by an independent authority and certified to comply with air transport safety regulations. They are labelled with their UN Test number and air travel quantity allowance, based on their capacity.

Linked Battery Charging

Linked charging allows more batteries to be charged using fewer chargers, and with less user-intervention.

Up to 10 MPL99V batteries, in any state of charge, can be linked for charging with any PAGlink charger. The batteries control their own charge regime which means that other manufacturer’s Li-Ion chargers can be used (dependent on the model and firmware version).

The 2-position PAG PL16 Charger will fully-charge one fully-discharged MPL99 in 2hrs 30mins, and 8 in 12hrs. State of charge as a percentage is indicated on the battery’s individual display.

PAG also offers a low-cost, ultra-compact, Micro Charger, which is the ideal travel partner. It can be powered form a variety of 5-20V DC power sources, which is ideal for location use.

Ergonomic & Durable

The MPL99V features an ergonomic design and a ‘soft-touch’ coated outer band for safer handling and increased durability. The battery case is manufactured from high-impact, injection-moulded ABS which is inherently very strong and flexible. The MPL99V has been designed to withstand the harshest working conditions.
