Core SWX Hypercore NEO 9 Mini 98Wh Lithium-Ion Battery (V-Mount)

Core SWX Hypercore NEO 9 Mini 98Wh Lithium-Ion Battery (V-Mount)
High-Output, Cine-Grade Power in an Ultra-Compact Mobile Profile
The Core SWX Hypercore NEO 9 Mini represents the next generation of professional power management, packing heavy-duty cine and broadcast capabilities into an ultra-compact V-mount footprint. Delivering 98Wh of lithium-ion capacity, this 14.8V battery is specifically engineered to handle power-hungry camera rigs and accessories while maintaining a slim, lightweight profile.

At just 4.7 inches in height and weighing only 1.4 pounds, the NEO 9 Mini is optimized for weight-sensitive setups like handheld gimbals, aerial drones, and compact shoulder rigs. Wrapped in an impact-absorbing rubberized housing and outfitted with an intelligent runtime LCD alongside cutting-edge RFID data transmission, this advanced battery offers maximum reliability for grueling on-set environments.

High-Current Output & Modular Drop-Resistant Architecture
Formidable 12A Continuous / 16A Peak Draw: Easily powers demanding digital cinema cameras, high-draw production monitors, and portable LED lighting setups without tripping internal circuit breakers.

Premium 8-Cell Panasonic Core: Built around an advanced eight-cell configuration utilizing tier-one Panasonic cells, ensuring highly stable voltage delivery, maximum energy density, and long-term cell health.

Simplified Modular Internal Design: Engineered with an advanced, cabling-reduced internal layout where structural components click together via direct plug-and-play modules. This configuration eliminates loose internal wires, drastically minimizing the chance of electronic failure from accidental drops while making servicing simple.

Over-Molded Non-Slip Rubberized Shell: Enclosed in Hypercore’s signature rugged, rubberized outer housing. This high-friction coating prevents the battery from slipping out of your hands while absorbing impact shock to protect the internal cells.

Dual-Telemetry Tracking & Wireless RFID Integration
Multipurpose Backlit Runtime LCD: Features a large, rear-facing graphic LCD screen that dynamically calculates power metrics in real time:

Displays a standardized estimate based on a 25W load when disconnected.

Calculates exact remaining runtime down to the minute when locked into an active camera rig.

Tracks real-time remaining charge progress when placed on a compatible docking station.

Instant Glance 4-Stage LED Gauge: Outfitted with a quick-response 4-segment LED bar chart on the side of the casing, letting operators instantly check battery capacity at a glance without waking the main LCD.

Integrated VoltBridgeID RFID Transmitter: Embedded with a front-facing passive RFID transmitter chip. This allows DITs and rental houses to instantly pull internal battery health data, total cycle counts, and serial numbers wirelessly using Core SWX’s VoltBridgeID iOS app or standard RFID scanning hardware.

Smart Power Management & Wide Charger Compatibility
Intelligent 48-Hour Hibernation Mode: To protect the cells against self-discharge during long periods of storage, the on-board microprocessor automatically forces the pack into a deep sleep state if no power draw or physical movement is detected for 48 hours. The battery instantly awakens the moment it is picked up.

Built-In Eco-Friendly Storage Mode: Features a dedicated, user-selectable Storage Mode to safely drain or hold the cell block at optimum transit voltage levels, helping production crews comply with strict airline regulations.

Extended 2000-Cycle Lifespan: Engineered to survive up to 2000 complete charge and discharge cycles while retaining excellent nominal capacity, delivering an exceptional return on investment.

Universal V-Mount Charging Compatibility: Highly cross-compatible across the industry, charging seamlessly on Core SWX docking stations as well as legacy V-mount chargers from RED, IDX, and Sony.

On-Set Accessory Ports & Camera Communication
Universal 12V SmartTap Connector: Features a specialized D-Tap port that natively powers any 12 VDC accessory (like wireless video transmitters or follow-focus motors) while maintaining the capability to pass complete, uncorrupted battery telemetry data back to compatible devices.

5V USB Accessory Power Port: Outfitted with a standard 5V USB Type-A output port to drive on-set accessories or quickly charge production smartphones and tablets.

Firmware Upgradeable via USB: Built to adapt to future camera platforms, the internal microprocessor can receive quick firmware modifications and performance updates directly through the integrated USB port.

Multi-Protocol Camera Linkage: Supports both one-wire and two-wire communication standards, enabling the battery to display its exact percentage status directly inside the electronic viewfinders (EVF) and status screens of mainstream cinema cameras.

UN38.3 Flight Certified: Fully certified under UN38.3 travel regulations, making it safe for carry-on transport during commercial flights (subject to individual airline guidelines).
