Product Information
Full details
The SWIT BIVO-98 is a 98Wh B-Mount battery designed for professional camera and cinegears. It offers approximately 60 minutes of runtime for ARRI cameras, providing reliable power for extended shoots. A key benefit is its dual D-tap outputs (14V and 28V) for versatile accessory powering, though its specific B-Mount compatibility means it's not a universal fit for all camera systems. The integrated LED torch is a thoughtful addition for low-light operation.
