1. Introduction

1.1 Models covered by these instructions:

PAGlink Gold Mount batteries are designed for compatibility with the
Anton Bauer Gold Mount system. There is a choice between 96Wh and
150Wh capacities.

Model Name Capacity Display

9306 PAGlink HC-PL94T 96Wh Numeric

9313 PAGlink HC-PL150T 150Wh Numeric

1.2 The unique PAGlink system allows up to 8 batteries to be linked for

charge or discharge, regardless of their rated capacity or their state­of-charge.

1.3 When linked, PAGlink batteries form a network that allows them to

communicate with each other and report to the camera as one battery.

1.4 The PAGlink system will automatically select the most suitable

batteries for discharge, according to their charge status. Batteries do
not discharge into each other. The system ensures that the maximum
linked output is kept to a safe level.

1.5 PAGlink batteries can deliver a current of up to 12A when linked,

using superior, high-current pin contacts.

1.6 PAGlink batteries can be hot-swapped to deliver continuous power,

which means no more time-wasting camera reboots.

1.7 All PAGlink batteries feature a display that provides remaining run-

time for the total of all linked batteries, and remaining capacity for
each individual battery.

1.8 The battery display maintains accuracy by tracking performance and

adjusting calibration values to compensate for the ageing of the cells.

1.9 PAGlink Gold Mount batteries will automatically detect and adapt to

the camera data system that allows Anton Bauer Gold Mount batteries
to provide capacity information in the camera viewfinder/LCD.

1.10 Batteries in any state of charge, regardless of capacity, can be linked

for charging, in multiples of 8 or less. During charging, the least­charged batteries are given priority. The charge status for each battery
is shown on its own display.

1.11 The intelligent PAGlink batteries manage their own charging safely and

efficiently, and can be charged, whilst linked, using other reputable
manufacturer’s Li-Ion chargers.

1.12 PAGlink battery and charger firmware can be updated easily by the

customer, via external contacts, using an update tool provided by
PAG.
