BIVO B-Mount Battery

The SWIT BIVO Series is a range of professional 14.4V/28.8V bi-voltage B-mount battery packs built for ARRI, Blackmagic, and other cine cameras and gear. Each model automatically reads the ID pin resistor value of the B-mount plate and outputs the correct voltage. So there is no misuse risk on set, and you always get the right power for the right camera.

Choose Your Capacity

The BIVO-98 has a 98Wh capacity and weighs just 668g at only 38mm thick. It is fly-friendly and runs at least 1 hour on an ARRI ALEXA 35. It delivers at least 150W constant load and uses LED power and voltage indicators to show battery level and output voltage at a glance.

The BIVO-160 steps up to 160Wh and runs nearly 2 hours on an ARRI ALEXA 35. Each passenger can carry two on a plane. It delivers at least 200W constant load and adds an OLED display showing output voltage, power percentage, remaining runtime, and protection warnings.

The BIVO-200 offers 196Wh capacity and runs more than 2 hours on an ARRI ALEXA 35. Like the BIVO-160, it delivers at least 200W constant load and includes the same OLED display for full battery status information.

The BIVO-290 is the largest in the range with 290Wh capacity and runs more than 3 hours on an ARRI ALEXA 35. It delivers at least 250W constant load and also features the OLED power info display.

D-Tap Outputs and Fast Charging

All four models include two D-tap sockets. At 14.4V mode the D-tap outputs 11–16.8V. At 28.8V mode it outputs a regulated 16V for camera-top devices. The BIVO-98 charges at 33.6V / 44W. The other three models all support 100W super fast charging via the SWIT PC-P461B charger, which charges four batteries at once.

Built Tough for the Field

Every BIVO battery survives drops from 1.2 meters at any angle. A built-in LED torch activates with a double press of the power check button and turns off after 30 seconds. Furthermore, the ultra-low standby power design holds charge for years without losing power, so you never need regular charge-discharge maintenance during storage.
