Audioroot eSMART BC1150

The AUDIOROOT BC1150 is a 6 bay portable smart battery combiner/coupler compatible with the eSMART Li-49Wh, Li-98Wh, Li-48neo and Li-96neo batteries providing up to 588 Wh of energy in a small form factor and lightweight 1150 rugged Pelicase.

This product was designed to help location sound recordists use several portable <100Wh SMBus li-ion batteries together to power larger equipment configurations. Batteries can be easily installed and removed from the coupler to allow air transportation, battery replacement or use with smaller portable current distributors such as the BG-DH MKII. A mix of different battery sizes (4S1P-short and 4S2P-long) can be installed at will inside the coupler.

Power from the 6 batteries is combined and delivered by a DC OUTPUT connector (XLR4F). An external power supply can be connected to the high priority DC IN connector (XLR4M). The eSMART BC1150 is directly compatible with the eSMART BG-DU and K-ART.

A built-in 2 x 3A sequential charger allows recharge of the batteries without removing them from the device. The charger power source (24V) is connected via the XLR10F connector.

An eINK display shows individual battery levels as well as combined battery level, current, temperature and estimated runtime.
