The PAG PAGlink PL16 V-Mount Charger is designed to fast-charge up to 16 batteries simultaneously, 8 linked on each position. After a shoot, simply stack your batteries on the charger, and by the morning they will all be fully-charged and ready to use again. This means no more midnight battery swapping. 8 fully-discharged batteries will be fully-charged in approximately 12 hours. The charger uses the available power efficiently and intelligently to achieve fully-charged batteries safely, and as quickly as possible.
The stages of the charging process for each channel are clearly indicated on the charger's large backlit LCD screen. The batteries communicate with each other to manage their own charging, which is fully automatic. The most discharged batteries are given priority. The battery's state of charge is displayed on its individual Run-Time & Capacity Display, so that you know at a glance when batteries are fully-charged and ready to use. The display characters can be inverted for legibility, with a single button press. The display reverts automatically after the battery is removed from the charger. Fully-charged batteries stop accepting charge automatically and independently of others in the stack. The batteries can be left on the charger to top-up until they are needed.
