FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SWIT
Powercell: A Premium Slot-in Battery Series for Sony, Canon, Nikon, and
Fujifilm Cameras
Professional
Broadcast Engineering Applied to Modern Mirrorless Workflows
Nanjing, China, January 20th,
2026 -
SWIT, a
global leader in professional broadcast and cinematic tools for over
two decades, today
formally launched the Powercell camera battery series.
These high-performance camera batteries are engineered for experienced
photographers and filmmakers who require professional-grade battery
reliability from their Sony, Canon, Nikon, and Fujifilm camera systems,
with slot-in compatibility, affordable pricing and charging features
that make it easy to always have a charged battery ready.
SWIT has been trialling these batteries with professional users for
several months, monitoring feedback, and, based on that experience, is
now ready to make them available to all users worldwide. The Powercell
series marks a significant transition for SWIT, bringing the rigorous
engineering standards usually reserved for high-end broadcast
environments and scientific space exploration programs to the broader
prosumer and professional mirrorless market.
Professional
Heritage, Consumer Accessibility
For years, SWIT has been a trusted name in the most demanding filming
environments on Earth – and beyond. Having provided technology for
global broadcasters and for scientific programs including space
exploration, SWIT’s reputation is built on the simple premise that
equipment must perform without fault. Indeed, for SWIT, failure is not
an option. The Powercell series translates this zero-failure philosophy
into an affordable replaceable battery that’s totally compatible with
the industry’s most prestigious camera brands.
Seamless
Compatibility Without Compromise
Designed as a direct slot-in replacement, the Powercell batteries are
100% compatible with the original camera manufacturer’s specifications
for power supply and charging. They allow users to swap batteries in
seconds while maintaining the exact shape, form and communication
protocols of the original batteries.
In fact, SWIT engineers the Powercell series to match original battery
performance while extending functionality for modern shooting needs.
These batteries are
anchored by premium cells from Panasonic, a manufacturer globally
respected for stability and safety. This firm foundation, together with
SWIT’s experience serving the demanding needs of professionals, ensures
a steady power output even during high-intensity burst shooting or
high-bitrate 4K/8K video recording.
Intuitive,
Reliable Charging, Anywhere
Integrated USB-C smart charging means users can charge their batteries
directly via USB-C for efficient, safe charging from dedicated
chargers, power banks, in-vehicle charge adapters, or even laptops.
There’s no need for bulky proprietary chargers – creators can make use
of all these ubiquitous USB-C charge sources, and they can update
charging equipment as new options become available.
Real-time power monitoring on the battery body, via instantly-visible
built-in LED charge indicators, gives users an intuitive sense of the
battery’s remaining power, ensuring crews will avoid unexpected
downtime during long production sessions. Unlike the costly batteries
offered by camera-makers, SWIT batteries’ affordability makes it
cost-effective to quickly switch in fully-charged replacement cells on
demand, continually. This provides the freedom for uninterrupted
shooting, capturing the moment, the light, and the energy of performers
and colleagues.
Engineered
for Modern Workflows
As cameras are increasingly utilized for all-day shooting and for
demanding long-form filmmaking, the cost of original manufacturer
batteries can become a significant barrier for independent creators and
production houses. The Powercell series addresses this by providing a
more affordable solution that does not sacrifice original performance
expectations, while adding meaningful workflow enhancements.
Safety remains a cornerstone of the Powercell design. Each unit
features a reinforced, flame-retardant housing designed to withstand
the rigors of field use, ensuring that the battery remains a reliable
partner in the most demanding scenarios.
Empowering
the Creative Community
By combining a professional broadcast pedigree with features like USB-C
versatility and premium cell chemistry, SWIT offers a compelling
narrative for the modern hybrid creator. Experienced users who have
transitioned to high-end mirrorless systems for their professional work
can now access the same level of power reliability once reserved for
big-budget television and scientific research.
