The V50 / 48 Watt-Hour Lithium Polymer battery features two 5V USB-A ‘Always On’ and one USB-C PD output port. It can be charged / pass through charged via two USB-C inputs. Charging is optimised for solar but can also be achieved using a suitable mains device.
The unique feature of the V50 is the use of Always On technology for both of the USB-A connectors with no low current cutoff. The battery will not shut off even if your device is drawing little or no power making it ideal for use in long-term time-lapse using the CamDo Solutions UpBlink intervalometer or for extending the battery life action cameras including Back-Bone modified GoPro.
This battery is ideal for long term time-lapse applications and can power for GoPro cameras for extended lengths of time. Normally a GoPro battery will last for around 2 hours of filming. The V50 battery lengthens the GoPro battery life by over 10x. As such this battery is also perfect for long applications such as filming medical operations or other training exercises using Back-Bone modified GoPro cameras.
The V50 can be recharged using a standard USB power supply. It can also be fully recharged in 3 hours USB-C PD (20W). It also features pass through charging meaning it can recharge whilst powering other equipment.
What is the Voltaic Battery ALWAYS ON Feature?
Most of the USB battery packs have an automatic power saving feature which turns off the battery if it is not continuously supplying power. Often, this feature is not even mentioned in the battery description, and only discovered when you find the camera’s internal battery is dead, even though the high powered battery pack is still fully charged. The Voltaic V50 features ‘Always On’ Technology that will not shut off even if the device is drawing low or no power.
