SWIT S-8192S 92+92Wh Dividable V-Mount Battery Pack

Swit S-8192S 92+92Wh Dividable V-Mount Battery Pack

Nowadays, the high capacity batteries are quite necessary for cameramen. But according to the regulations of the International Air Transport Association (IATA), Lithium-ion batteries over 100Wh are restricted for air transportation.

SWIT introduces a new series of separable batteries, with high capacity up to 184Wh, but are safe for air transportation. The battery can be divided into two parts, each one under 100Wh, to meet the IATA air transportation regulation. When using the battery, you may just assemble the two parts to get a high capacity battery.

These series of batteries are manufactured under the quality management program as described in IATA DGR 54th 3.9.2.6(e). They’re proven to meet the requirements of each applicable test in the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria, Part III, sub-section 38.3.

According to IATA DGR 54th 2.3.5.9, these batteries are permitted on aircraft as carry on baggage, and they are also suitable for transportation by air cargo, with special package requirement.
