PAGlink enables you to link batteries and discharge them simultan-
eously as well as individually. Instead of leaving your spare battery in
the camera bag you can start your day’s shooting with 2 linked
batteries on your camera and experience a number of benefits.
Linking batteries combines their capacities into one large power
source that you can unlink, and fly with legally. Individual Li-Ion
batteries that have capacities greater than 160Wh are banned from
passenger aircraft.
The combined capacity extends the run-time of your camera set-up.
Two linked 50Wh batteries will provide 100Wh; a 50Wh and a 99Wh
battery linked will provide 149Wh; two 99Wh batteries will provide
198Wh.
Linking batteries increases the maximum continuous current draw
capability to 12A, provided the batteries linked are in a similar state
of charge (within 20%). Individually, the MPL50 battery will provide
up to 8A, and the MPL99 will provide up to 10A.
