AudioRoot eSMART BC1150

AudioRoot eSMART BC1150

The AudioRoot eSMART BC1150 combines up to six eSMART lithium-ion batteries into one power source. Its electronics, battery bays and integrated charger are housed in a Pelicase 1150. Six Li-98Wh batteries provide a combined nominal energy capacity of 588 Wh.

Combined power and SMBus battery information are available through the XLR4F output. The eINK display shows individual battery levels alongside combined status, current, temperature and estimated runtime. Batteries can be changed while the remaining connected power sources continue supplying the load.

Compatibility and Charging

Compatible with the Li-48neo, Li-49Wh, Li-96neo and Li-98Wh. The BC1150 combines these replaceable batteries; available energy depends on the number and capacity of the batteries installed.

The BC1150-24V powers the integrated charger. The BC1150-PSU supplies the priority input for mains-powered operation of connected equipment. AudioRoot recommends both supplies together for simultaneous charging and operation at full performance. When using only the BC1150-24V, simultaneous charging requires a load of no more than 4 A at the BC1150 output.

With suitable connection cables, the BC1150 can power an eSMART BG-DU, eSMART DUO or eSMART K-ART.
