PAG Mini PAGlink MPL50G Battery

PAG Mini PAGlink MPL50G 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 MPL50G is a 50Wh battery, designed to complement the dimensions of smaller 4K camcorders and power them in combination with accessories such as lights and monitors. It provides a single, superior power source for your camera set-up, replacing a multitude of incompatible batteries.

The MPL50G features built-in outputs that the cameras lack: a 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 50Wh MPL50 batteries doubles the capacity to 100Wh; 3 batteries provide 150Wh.

More Current & Better ROI

When batteries are linked and in similar state of charge, the current-draw capability increases from 8A 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 MPL50G for 2 years.

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.

Compatibility & Integration

The MPL50G is compatible with full-size Gold Mount camera plates. It can be linked to any PAGlink Gold Mount battery for discharging or charging, regardless of rated capacity. It can be charged using PAGlink or Anton Bauer 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

The MPL50G incorporates PAG’s unique display, which 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. The display maintains its accuracy by tracking performance and adjusting calibration values to compensate for the ageing of the cells. PAGlink batteries store data in their microprocessor, such as the number of charge/discharge cycles, which can be displayed in data mode. This information is designed to assist with battery management.

In-Viewfinder Information

MPL50G batteries communicate automatically with the camera data system that allows Anton Bauer batteries to display their remaining capacity in the viewfinder and LCD.

Flight Friendly

The MPL50G is a 50Wh 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

PAG is the only manufacturer that offers linked charging for Gold Mount batteries. Linked charging allows more batteries to be charged using fewer chargers, and with less user-intervention.

Up to 8 MPL50G 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 Anton Bauer 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 MPL50 in 1hr 15mins, and 16 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 MPL50G 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 MPL50G has been designed to withstand the harshest working conditions.

Modular Construction

Mini PAGlink batteries are the first to feature a new, fully-serviceable, modular construction that allows authorised replacement of the cell-pack whilst maintaining conformity with UN standards.

Future-Proof Batteries

PAGlink battery firmware can be updated in the field by the user, in a matter of seconds, without opening the battery case. Updates enable you to benefit from the technological advances that PAG introduces to accommodate developments in camera technology.

Premier Quality Branded Li-Ion Cells

All PAG Li-Ion batteries feature long-life, premium-quality cells, which can be partially charged and discharged without suffering memory effect. In keeping with PAG’s total battery design philosophy, PAGlink batteries are constructed to provide the longest possible working life. The MPL50G is guaranteed for 2 years.
