New Versatile 2-Way Charging Dock from BLUESHAPE
BLUESHAPE, Italian innovators in power solutions has developed a superb 2-way charger for camera ops, 2nd ACs and others who need a reliable dock to replenish their batteries.

With unrivalled versatility, exceptional design and trusted reliability, the CVTR2P and CGTR2P models offer users several outstanding features that set them apart from other power solutions in the current market.

With an ability to charge ANY BRAND of V-lock or 3-stud battery, the 2-way charger delivers up to 6.0A of power per channel when charging large batteries, but will automatically adapt to a slower speed for smaller batteries. Furthermore, this smart power automation also optimises the charging speed dependent on the condition of the battery to maximise its lifespan. This is made possible by the charger's native precise BMS controlled charging that avoids stress, overheating and overcharging at all times.

The charger can also serve as a DC-UPS, meaning that power is always available via the XLR outlet whilst batteries are charging and if there's a power cut, the AUX port will remain active, powered by the installed batteries.

These outstanding features, coupled with retractable feet and switchable fan, make this 2-way dock from BLUESHAPE a must-have for those who need reliability as a primary function.

Both the BLUESHAPE 2-way dock and Kinotehnik Practilite range are available in the UK from MTF Services.
