bebob introduces new Hot Swap Adapters for B-Mount
Jun 21, 2024
Munich-based battery manufacturer bebob has expanded its B-Mount portfolio with the introduction of two new B-Mount batteries, the B90cineML and the B155cineML. These batteries offer capacities of 86Wh and 156Wh respectively, and share key functionalities designed to enhance camera operations.
Both models can connect in series with other B-Mount batteries, serving as dual-voltage high-performance batteries and hot-swap adapters. This design ensures a continuous, uninterrupted power supply by automatically taking over the power supply to the camera and D-Tap connection when the connected battery is depleted. Additionally, the B90cineML and B155cineML can be charged either by a plugged-in battery or a B-Mount charger, providing versatile charging options for users.
Useful details
Like all B-Mount batteries from bebob, the B90cineML and the B155cineML support two different voltages, 14.4V and 28.8V, and can be used for 12V and 24V devices. Their continuous power and current output are 450W and 20A, respectively. A five-stage LED display indicates their current charging status. Both are equipped with a Twist D-Tap and a USB-C port. As is typical for bebob, they are built to a high-quality, very robust design and are maintainable: the cells can be replaced, as with all bebob batteries, if their performance declines after years of use.
