The SWIT PB-C420S is the world’s largest-capacity handheld V-Mount battery, delivering a massive 420Wh / 29.4Ah at 14.4V — engineered for broadcast and cinema professionals who demand all-day, high-draw power for Cine cameras, monitors, on-set lights, and other power-hungry production devices.
Built around 24 high-load Li-ion cells, the PB-C420S sustains a constant 250W / 20A output (peak 305W) even at 1% remaining capacity, while 100W fast charging brings it from flat to 80% in under four hours — cutting downtime by more than half on busy production days.
Key features
- World’s Largest Handheld V-Mount Capacity: 420Wh / 29.4Ah keeps cameras, monitors, and lights running through the longest shoots without a battery swap.
- Sustained High-Power Output: 250W / 20A constant load and 305W peak ensure reliable power delivery for the most demanding Cine cameras and on-camera accessories simultaneously.
- 100W Fast Charging: Charges from 0 to 80% in just 3.9 hours and reaches full capacity in 5.3 hours, saving over 50% charging time vs. standard chargers.
- Dual D-Tap Sockets: Two 150W-rated D-Tap outputs (left and right) power camera-top devices such as monitors and wireless transmitters independently.
- Smart Power Monitoring: A 5-LED digital indicator and SONY/RED viewfinder power-info display give instant, accurate remaining-charge readouts on set.
- Comprehensive Circuit Protection: Multi-layer safeguards cover over-current (24A), over-charging, over-discharging, short circuit, and high-temperature conditions, protecting both battery and connected equipment.

Frequently asked questions
How long does the SWIT PB-C420S take to fully charge?
With a 100W / 6A fast charger, the PB-C420S charges from 0 to 80% in approximately 3.9 hours and reaches 100% within 5.3 hours — more than 50% faster than standard charging methods.
Can the PB-C420S power a high-draw Cine camera and on-camera monitor at the same time?
Yes. The battery sustains a constant 250W / 20A output (with a 305W peak) even down to 1% capacity, and its two D-Tap sockets each support up to 150W, making it suitable for simultaneously powering a Cine camera and multiple on-camera devices.
What safety protections does the SWIT PB-C420S include?
The internal controller provides multi-circuit protection against overload, over-charging, over-discharging, short circuit, and high temperature. Over-current protection is set at 24A, actively safeguarding both the battery and all connected equipment.
