1.1 Models covered by these instructions:
PAGlink Gold Mount batteries are designed for compatibility with the
Anton Bauer Gold Mount system. There is a choice between 96Wh and
150Wh capacities.
Model Name Capacity Display
9306 PAGlink HC-PL94T 96Wh Numeric
9313 PAGlink HC-PL150T 150Wh Numeric
1.2 The unique PAGlink system allows up to 8 batteries to be linked for
charge or discharge, regardless of their rated capacity or their state-
of-charge.
1.3 When linked, PAGlink batteries form a network that allows them to
communicate with each other and report to the camera as one battery.
1.4 The PAGlink system will automatically select the most suitable
batteries for discharge, according to their charge status. Batteries do
not discharge into each other. The system ensures that the maximum
linked output is kept to a safe level.
1.5 PAGlink batteries can deliver a current of up to 12A when linked,
using superior, high-current pin contacts.

1. Introduction
PAGlink PL16 Gold Mount Charger
1.6 PAGlink batteries can be hot-swapped to deliver continuous power,
which means no more time-wasting camera reboots.
1.7 All PAGlink batteries feature a display that provides remaining run-
time for the total of all linked batteries, and remaining capacity for
each individual battery.
1.8 The battery display maintains accuracy by tracking performance and
adjusting calibration values to compensate for the ageing of the cells.
1.9 PAGlink Gold Mount batteries will automatically detect and adapt to
the camera data system that allows Anton Bauer Gold Mount batteries
to provide capacity information in the camera viewfinder/LCD.
1.10 Batteries in any state of charge, regardless of capacity, can be linked
for charging, in multiples of 8 or less. During charging, the least-
charged batteries are given priority. The charge status for each battery
is shown on its own display.
1.11 The intelligent PAGlink batteries manage their own charging safely and
efficiently, and can be charged, whilst linked, using other reputable
manufacturer’s Li-Ion chargers.
1.12 PAGlink battery and charger firmware can be updated easily by the
customer, via external contacts, using an update tool provided by
PAG.
1.13 PAGlink Li-Ion batteries are tested by an independent authority to
UN standards in compliance with IATA Air Transport regulations.

3. Charging
3.1 IMPORTANT: READ THE CHARGER HANDBOOK BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO
CHARGE THE BATTERY.
3.2 The following PAGlink chargers will charge PAGlink Gold Mount batteries,
individually or linked, regardless of their capacity or state of charge:
9707A PAGlink PL16 Charger 2-positions, 8 batteries on each
9711A PAGlink PL16+ Charger 4-positions, 4 batteries on each
9713 PAGlink Micro Charger 1-position, 4 batteries in total
Anton Bauer Gold Mount Li-Ion chargers are also suitable. The number
of linked batteries that can be charged on each position is dependent
on the charger model and firmware version.
PAG Pulsar and Quasar Gold Mount chargers are not suitable for
charging PAGlink Gold Mount batteries.
3.3 The batteries incorporate a temperature sensor which will inhibit
charging if their temperature is below 0°C. See Section 2
Specification for the charging temperature range of PAGlink
batteries.
3.4 PAGlink batteries display their individual status, during charging,
on their built-in display. When using PL16 chargers, the characters
of the numeric display can be inverted, for legibility, with a single
button press. The display reverts automatically after removal from
the charger.

4. Discharging
4.1 The batteries incorporate a precision fixed end-of-discharge cutoff set
to 12.5V, as measured by the battery. This cutoff will only operate if
the battery capacity is less than 5%, eliminating unwanted operation
due to high current and low battery temperature.
4.2 The maximum continuous discharge current for a single PAGlink
Gold Mount battery is 10A. The batteries incorporate a current limit,
and consumption above this for more than 5 seconds will trigger the
over-current protection, turning the battery output off.
4.3 If the battery is discharged at too high a rate, even momentarily, the
protection circuit may be triggered, disconnecting the battery output.
It can be recovered by simply removing it from the load and pressing
the display button, provided the battery still retains some charge.
4.4 Where total continuous consumption is above 10A, two or more
PAGlink batteries should be linked. This will increase the maximum
continuous discharge current to 12A, provided the batteries are in a
similar state of charge.
4.5 The battery may be discharged within the temperature range -20°C
to +50°C, but for optimum performance, +10°C to +40°C is
recommended. The operating time will be shorter in conditions of
low temperature, and discharging will be electronically inhibited if
the battery temperature is below -20°C.
4.6 When the battery has been discharged at a high rate it will become
warm, and it is advisable to let it cool before charging it.
4.7 Computer Reset
The battery features a computer reset function. In exceptional
circumstances, a computer reset may be required. This is achieved
by holding the display button in for 20 seconds.

5. Storage
5.1 PAGlink batteries can be left stacked on a charger until required;
the charger will keep them topped-up ready for use.
5.2 For long-term storage, batteries should be in a half-charged state,
and unlinked. Storing batteries linked accelerates the rate at which
they self-discharge.
5.3 After 2 weeks of inactivity, PAGlink batteries will automatically enter
sleep mode, which greatly reduces their rate of self-discharge. They
can be woken prior to use by pressing the display button.
5.4 Batteries should be stored in a cool, dry place at a temperature
between 0°C and +20°C. Long-term storage outside of this temperature
range may reduce the battery’s life. Maintenance charging is not
required during long term storage.
5.5 After storage it is advisable to fully-charge batteries before use.

6. Run-Time & Capacity Information
6.1 The Battery Display:
The battery is able to display a numeric run-time prediction against
load, and charge status as a percentage.
(1) When connected to a camera that is turned on, two presses of the
battery’s display button will show a predicted run-time against the
given load, expressed in hours and minutes. When batteries are linked
the run-time displayed relates to the total for the connected
batteries. The battery requires up to 5 seconds before it is able to
give an accurate run-time prediction.
(2) A single button press of the display, whether the battery is off or
on-load, shows a percentage figure of available capacity. When the
batteries are linked this figure still relates to the battery’s individual
capacity.
(3) When battery capacity drops below 5% the display will indicate
that the battery should be charged as above.
(4) When the battery is fully charged the display will indicate 100%.
6.2 In-Viewfinder Battery Status
Battery status can be shown as a percentage of available capacity in
the viewfinder/LCD of cameras designed to accept this data. Different
data standards are used by camera and battery manufacturers. PAGlink
Gold Mount batteries automatically adjust the data output standard to
support the system that allows Anton Bauer batteries to display
capacity information in the viewfinder/LCD. When the batteries are
linked, the data displayed is for the combined capacity available.
6.3 PAGlink Battery Reader
The PAGlink Battery Reader is an accessory that can be used to display
data stored in the battery’s microprocessor. When connected to the
battery contacts it will provide information that is beneficial for
managing your batteries, such as: number of cycles, date of manufac-
ture, software version and serial number.
6.4 PAG Numeric Display Data Output
Data stored in the battery’s microprocessor can be revealed using the
battery display by following this procedure:
1. Press the display button 3 times (in 1 second intervals) and
hold down on the 3rd press.
2. After 5 seconds all segments of the display will be lit.
3. Release the display button and the 1st menu option will appear.
4. Press the button again to move on to the other menu items.
