PAG slim Battery

[Olivier Gresse]

I'm looking for slim batteries and so I found this PAG battery that weighs just 0,5 kg.

Do you know if with PAG L90 V-Mount Slim Battery we can have the information of % or in hour/minute in the lcd/viewfinder ? How long does this battery last with the RED cameras?

Is it possible to recharge this battery with a Sony Powerlok Charger ?

If so, I'm also interrested to buy the PAGlink Micro Charger which weighs just 200g. How long does it take to recharge a L90 battery with this charger?

I also like the Anton Bauer Cine Batteries but they seem to be a little heavy.

Another question : I have a Global media Pro Li190S Battery but it doesn't work with my WC cableless V-mount plate, is it normal ? Anyone ever had this problem?

Thanks for your help

Hi,
I can't answer your questions, but as I'm at the moment also looking for slim 95 Wh batteries, I can name 2 other interesting possibilities (both cheaper than the PAG) :
- IDX Duo 95, very compact, 2 D-TAP + 1 USB, but limited to 70 power loads

- Bebob 98 Wh, very sturdy and can handle higher power loads than the IDX, has 1 D-TAP and 1 USB port

I think I'll go with the Bebob.

Just thought that might help

You can have information in % in the lcd. I didn't check the time for full charging with the micro charger but all seems to be like PAG says on their site. I'm very pleased with the micro charger (i bought two of it). Very light and small.

Olivier, PAGs are good and I can confirm accurate % readings on the display.

You have to set these as RED enabled by pressing the button until "RED" appears on the display.

These last around 1:15-1:30 on my Weapon MG depending on load and accessories.

Hope it helps.

These don't communicate % to the RED cameras but for the money, they are great, compact, well-built and tiny batteries.

They work perfectly w/the V-mount IO expander and they're 155wh.

I bought 2, plus a charger to test and just bought 2 more. Great value.
