This 2 VL-2000S 2-Bay Simultaneous Charger Kit with 8 IPL-150 V-Mount Batteries is a assembled to provide you with IDX’s IPL 150 batteries and an IDX VL-2000S charger that allows you to take full advantage of the battery’s unique Powerlink features. With these IPL Powerlink batteries you can stack up to four batteries to power your camera or device, and the batteries will draw power from the last battery in the stack until that battery is exhausted before switching to the next battery in the stack.
This allows you to hot-swap batteries without having to power down your camera or device. Using the included VL-2000S charger allows you to stack and sequentially charge up to four IPL batteries in each bay, beginning with the battery at the end of the stack and moving to the next as the last one finishes charging.
The VL-2000S Quick Charger from IDX is a simultaneous 2-channel Li-ion V-Mount battery charger with a 100W DC output (4-pin XLR). Supporting LIFE PLUS mode, the VL-2000S can extend battery life up to 20%. It features Power Base mode. This mode gives you the ability to utilize the mounted batteries for powering equipment via the 4-pin XLR output. Low voltage batteries are safely charged with the Recovery Charge mode. The charger also houses energy efficient circuitry that will automatically power down the charger when inactive.
The IDX IPL-150 Powerlink Li-Ion High-Load V-Mount Battery features a V-mount and has a 143Wh capacity. This advanced battery features IDX’s Powerlink system that lets you piggyback and hot swap other IPL batteries onto this one when mounted on a camera, for virtually unlimited runtime. The Powerlink system draws power from the battery furthest from the camera or light fixture until that battery is drained, at which time it starts to pull power from the next furthest battery. You can also stack up to four batteries to charge them. The power link system works with IDX DUO-C batteries as well, as long as those are the last ones on the linking chain.
This battery has a capacity of 143Wh and supports draws up to 11.3A, although linking two or more IPL batteries enables supporting draws of up to 14A. As one would expect when working with a professional battery, the camera is able to display the battery’s data information in its viewfinder. Outfitted with two D-Taps, one standard and one Advanced, as well as a 5V 2.3A USB port, the battery has plenty of power for accessories. It is designed with battery circuit protection against overcharge, overdischarge, overcurrent, and exposure to high temperatures, providing protection to your battery from the rigors of production. A 5-LED battery life indicator on the side provides a quick visual indication of the charge state of your battery. A built-in retractable cover helps keep the batteries V-mount contacts clean and dust-free when not mounted on a device. Use an IDX VL-2000S charger when charging your batteries.
