SWIT BIVO-98 Bi-Voltage B-Mount Battery
One Battery. Two Voltages. Maximum Versatility.
The SWIT BIVO-98 is a compact 98Wh bi-voltage B-mount battery designed for professional cinema cameras, including ARRI and Blackmagic Design systems, as well as compatible cine equipment and accessories.
With intelligent voltage detection, the BIVO-98 automatically recognizes the ID resistor on the B-mount plate and delivers the appropriate output—14.4V or 28.8V—helping eliminate the risk of using the wrong voltage.
98Wh Capacity in a Compact, Fly-Friendly Design
At just 38mm thick and 668g, the BIVO-98 is built for handheld and mobile productions where every gram matters. Its 98Wh capacity provides approximately 40 minutes of runtime, and up to about one hour on an ARRI ALEXA 35, depending on camera configuration and power consumption.
With support for at least 150W of continuous power, the BIVO-98 is ready to handle the demanding power requirements of professional cinema cameras and production accessories.
Dual D-Tap Outputs
Two integrated D-Tap power outputs provide convenient power for camera-top accessories, monitors, wireless systems, lights, and other production equipment.
- 14.4V mode: D-Tap outputs 11–16.8V
- 28.8V mode: D-Tap outputs a regulated 16V
This flexible power architecture makes the BIVO-98 a versatile solution for modern cinema rigs.
Intelligent Voltage Indication
Four LED indicators show the remaining battery capacity, while a dedicated blue LED indicates the selected operating voltage.
- Blue LED on: 28.8V high-voltage output
- Blue LED off: 14.4V standard-voltage output
Fast 33.6V Charging
The BIVO-98 supports fast charging through the SWIT PC-P461B B-mount charger. Up to four BIVO-98 batteries can be charged simultaneously at 33.6V/50W, with a full four-battery charge taking approximately three hours.
Built-In LED Torch
Production environments don't always provide ideal lighting. Double-press the Power Check button to activate the built-in rear LED torch, making it easier to locate and attach the B-mount battery in dark conditions.
Double-press again to turn it off, or let the battery automatically switch it off after 30 seconds.
Built for the Demands of Production
The BIVO-98 is engineered for professional use and tested to withstand drops of up to 1.2 meters from any angle, providing dependable durability on set and in the field.
Ultra-Low Standby Power
Long-term storage shouldn't mean constantly worrying about battery maintenance. SWIT's ultra-low standby power design helps preserve stored energy for years while reducing the risk of damage caused by complete discharge.
Store it when you need to. Pick it up when you're ready to shoot.
Part of the BIVO Family
The BIVO series offers multiple capacities to match different production needs:
From lightweight handheld rigs and stabilizers to extended cinema productions, the BIVO family gives filmmakers the flexibility to choose the right balance of size, weight, and runtime.
