Bixnet BP160 > R-44
« on: July 11, 2013, 01:56:26 PM »
i was searching for a very high capacity battery that would power my R-44 for long events in which my access to power is limited, and i picked up a Bixnet BP160.  i have not used it in the field yet, but i ran a home test to see how long the Bixnet would last with a 2-channel setup and am sharing the results in case anyone is interested.

Phantom Power: provided by R-44 on channels 1 and 2

Although the BP160 is called external lithium-ion battery pack, it may be more accurate to consider it as a smart power supply that powers from lithium battery cells. Unlike a traditional battery pack, which may just simply connect battery cells together in serial or parallel with simple protection, the BP160 has following unique features:
 
1. Strong, impact resistant outer casing.
 2. Fully functional electronic board inside to control the input voltage and current that actually applied to battery cells when in charging mode.
3. Built-in DC to DC converter to supply regulated stable power at different user selectable voltages.
4. On/off switch. The power pack will only turn on when both output cable is plugged in the output port and the on/off switch is turned on. This will effectively prevent the power pack to be activated accidentally.
5. Many safety protection functions such as Over-charge protection, Over-discharge protection, Over current protection, Over temperature protection, Short circuit protection
