BLUESHAPE Granite Mini 14.4V 143Wh Rugged Waterproof Easy to Store Wi-Fi Connectivity 3-Stud Battery

BLUESHAPE Granite Mini 14.4V 143Wh Rugged Waterproof Easy to Store Wi-Fi Connectivity 3-Stud Battery

The BLUESHAPE Granite Mini 14.4V 143Wh Battery uses multiple lithium-ion rechargeable battery cells. It is designed for use with cameras and apparatus equipped with the 3-Stud mount.

Rugged

It features robust thick-walled housing made of special plastic resin for superior impact resistance. The battery can withstand several drops from altitudes of up to 2 meters without breaking or suffering internal damage.

Charging

The battery can be charged using the original or BLUESHAPE 3-Stud chargers. The 10-step LED indicator provides accurate remaining capacity monitoring. Each LED accounts for 20 percent of state-of-charge when lit, and accounts for 10 percent when flashing. When the capacity falls below 10 percent, the lower (first) LED blinks. During charge the LED bar automatically lights up, showing the actual state of charge in percent with the topmost LED slowly blinking to indicate the charging activity.

Waterproof and Compact

It is water and dust ingress-resistant construction (IP54) making it safe for use even in difficult environments. The external dimensions of the battery have been optimized for usage in small cinema cameras and for maximum capacity in the space available.

Storage

The battery should be stored in a dry place at normal temperatures, ideally below 25-degree-C and not above 60-degree-C (recommended 0-degree-C to 20-degree-C).

Wi-Fi Transmission

This battery has an embedded Wi-Fi module that is the core of the GRANITE Link architecture. This module is normally off by default. To switch it on, press the LED button for at least 5 seconds until the topmost RGB LED lights up and starts a blinking sequence till the module is on, after which the LED blinks every 2 seconds.

Access Point Mode

By default, the battery is an access point and generates its unique network whose SSID is the model name followed by the serial number. The devices (smartphone, tablet, PC) would have to connect directly to this network generated by the battery to communicate. Up to 4 devices can be connected at the same time and each one can monitor the battery status.

Client Mode

The battery automatically becomes a ‘client’ of a network called BLUESHAPE Granite Link, if this exists. This network is generated for instance by portable GRANITE Link Wi-Fi router, a solution that offers convenient connectivity on the field. More batteries can be on this same network at the same time and within this mode, the same device (a smartphone, tablet, PC) also connected to the same network can monitor several batteries.

Operation

When the Wi-Fi module is on, the battery automatically sends out continuous data packets to any client connected to its network (AP mode) and any other clients of the same subnet (Client Mode), so that any device connected is updated with the same info.

BLUESHAPE Granite Link App

To allow users to watch battery live data in real-time and interact with them as described, we have designed an App, available for iOS and Android. The App can be downloaded for free from the relative stores and is available for both smartphones and tablets.

Air Transport

This battery meets the standard of the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria and therefore can be transported by air.
