SWIT PB-R290A and PB-R160A Heavy-Duty Gold Mount Batteries - 290Wh

SWIT PB-R290A and PB-R160A Heavy-Duty Gold Mount Batteries

SWIT PB-R heavy-duty Gold Mount batteries provide high-output 14.4V power for professional cinema cameras, ENG cameras, lights, and field production accessories. Available in 160Wh and 290Wh capacities, the series combines continuous high-load performance with 6A fast-charging support and a rugged dual-housing design.

The PB-R160A offers a travel-friendly 160Wh capacity for mobile productions, handheld camera systems, and crews seeking a balance between runtime and weight. The PB-R290A increases capacity to 290Wh and supports a 250W continuous load, making it suitable for longer shooting days, power-intensive cinema cameras, and equipment configurations with several attached accessories.

An inner cell cage, outer impact-resistant housing, and rubber protection help each battery withstand drops from up to 4.92 feet. The eight-LED digital indicator displays capacity while idle or charging, then estimates remaining runtime during operation in 15-minute increments. A top-mounted D-Tap output powers compatible monitors, transmitters, recorders, lights, and other production devices alongside the primary camera.
