SwitPB-R160S+ 160Wh Heavy Duty IP54 Battery Pack

The SWIT PB-R160S is a 160Wh heavy-duty V-mount battery designed for professional camera systems and high-power production equipment operating in demanding environments.

With an IP54 dust and water resistance rating and construction designed to withstand drops of up to 1.5 metres, the PB-R160S is particularly suited to outdoor production, location filming and other environments where batteries need additional physical and environmental protection.

Its 14.4V, 11.1Ah capacity is combined with a constant high-load output of up to 200W, allowing it to support professional cameras and power-hungry accessories.

The battery also supports 6A fast charging, provides a D-Tap power output and features eight LED power indicators for convenient battery status checking.

Who this is for

The PB-R160S is designed for camera operators, cinematographers, production crews and rental environments requiring a durable V-mount battery for regular professional use.

Its combination of IP54 protection, 1.5m drop resistance and 200W continuous output makes it especially useful for outdoor filming, documentary production, location work and demanding camera configurations.

How it works / component breakdown

160Wh professional V-mount power

The PB-R160S provides 160Wh / 11.1Ah capacity at 14.4V, giving professional camera systems a substantial portable power source for studio and location work.

The standard V-mount connection allows the battery to be used with compatible professional cameras and other V-mount equipment.

200W continuous output

The PB-R160S supports a constant high load of up to 200W.

This higher output capability is useful when powering demanding professional cameras or setups where additional equipment is drawing power alongside the main camera.

IP54 environmental protection

An IP54 rating provides protection against dust and water ingress for production environments where equipment may be exposed to challenging outdoor conditions.

This makes the PB-R160S particularly useful for location shoots and productions where a conventional battery may be more exposed to the environment.

1.5m drop resistance

The heavy-duty construction is designed to withstand drops from heights of up to 1.5 metres.

This added physical protection is valuable for professional production environments where batteries are regularly transported, mounted, removed and handled throughout the working day.

6A fast charging

Support for 6A fast charging helps reduce turnaround time between uses, particularly when working with several batteries across longer production days.

Eight LED power indicators

Eight LED indicators provide a clear visual reference for remaining battery power.

The increased number of indicator steps gives operators a more detailed at-a-glance view of battery status than a basic four-LED system.

Viewfinder power information

The PB-R160S supports Sony/RED viewfinder power information, allowing battery information to be displayed through compatible camera systems.

This provides another convenient way for operators to monitor available power while working.

D-Tap output

A D-Tap power output allows compatible production accessories to draw power directly from the battery.

This is useful for camera rigs incorporating additional equipment such as monitors, wireless systems and other powered accessories.

Multiple circuit protections

The PB-R160S incorporates multiple circuit protections to help protect the battery and connected equipment during professional use.

Why choose the SWIT PB-R160S?

The PB-R160S is designed for productions where battery durability is as important as capacity and output.

Its IP54 rating provides additional protection for outdoor environments, while 1.5m drop resistance helps it withstand the physical demands of regular location and production work.

A 200W continuous output also gives it the capability to support high-power camera systems, while 6A fast charging helps minimise battery turnaround times.
