Core SWX Now Shipping Hypercore SLIM HC8

Core SWX is now shipping the Hypercore SLIM HC8 – the latest addition to the Hypercore SLIM series of battery packs.

The HC8 is capable of handling high-draw loads, making them suitable for UAV, handheld gimbal and other applications demanding a low-profile battery pack. They are able to power RED, ARRI ALEXA Mini and similar digital cameras, handling draws of up to 148Wh (10A) without deterioration in service life or operability.

An LED backlit runtime LCD on the front of the battery pack lets users know how much battery time is left when in use and will also display the remaining charge time while connected to a charger.

Similar to the Hypercore Prime, this 85Wh battery pack is safe and legal for air travel. The HC8 is available in V-mount, 3-Stud mount and V-mount RED to communicate exact remaining battery capacity to the RED camera's LCD/VF.

It is also outfitted with an accelerometer to detect motion. This causes the battery packs to hibernate when there is no usage or movement after a 48-hour period. Once the battery is back in use or detects the slightest movement, it awakens at its maximum capacity. Each battery in the Hypercore series has an integrated P-tap connection on its side that lets users power any 12-volt DC device.

The batteries charge on any charger within the Core SWX lineup, but the V-mount offerings will also charge on RED, IDX and Sony chargers. The 3-Stud products will charge on Anton/Bauer chargers firmware V3.6 and up.

Jose Flores, Sales Manager, Core SWX, said: "We have previewed the HC8 at several trade shows and the demand for it has been at an all-time high. The HC8 is the most compact, trim design in the industry and is perfect for UAV or other scenarios where a small form factor is needed to power cameras, such as RED and ARRI, with its draws up to 148Wh."
