The PAG PAGlink PL96e 14.8V V-Mount Lithium-Ion Battery is a linking battery that can be attached and directly connected to up to seven other PAGlink-series batteries. It can be used while linked and charged while linked. The point of linking is to combine the capacities of all the batteries to achieve very high capacities and a higher current-draw capability. Linked batteries form a high-speed serial network that enables the batteries to communicate with one another so to control charge and discharge. The network allows linked batteries to act as one when communicating with the camera. The PL96e (and other PAGlink batteries) can be used with HD broadcast cameras, digital cine cameras, 3D camera set-ups, and DSLRs.
