SHAPE has just released a new Full Play 99Wh mini battery as well as a compact and lightweight multi D-Tap V-Mount battery plate. The battery features a built-in LCD battery capacity gauge, two P-tap 14.4V ports, two USB ports, and it supports a continuous draw of up to 10A. Let’s take a closer look!
Mini V-Mount batteries have slowly become the new standard over the last years. Canadian manufacturer SHAPE is joining the party with a new Mini battery offering inside their Full Play lineup that was introduced back in 2018.
The SHAPE Full Play 99Wh mini battery (codename V99MB) is a compact and lightweight battery: 7.5 x 5.1 x 10cm / 2.95 x 2 x 3.94in for a weight of only 500g/1.12lbs.
On the front of the mini battery you will find a small LCD display. This display shows you the remaining power and the charging status.
There is one 14.4V P-Tap port on each side of the battery, as well as two USB ports (5V, 2A) on top of the battery.
This 99Wh mini battery supports a maximum continuous 10A power draw between the V-mount, D-tap, and USB ports. Last but not least, this battery is IATA-approved, so you can safely travel by plane with it.
To go along with this new battery, SHAPE also launched a compact V-Mount battery plate with 15mm LWS. This lightweight (247g/0.5lbs) plate is made out of aluminum and tightens only via one knob.
It features four built-in P-Tap output ports with 14.4V on each port and a maximum of 10 amps output. In addition, all P-Tap ports are regulated, which is incredible at this price point.
The SHAPE FULL PLAY 99Wh mini battery is available now for $245/€275. The Multi D-Tap V-Mount battery plate is also available now for $148/€167.
