Press release from Magna Systems and Engineering

Magna Systems and Engineering today gave details of how Blueshape professional Li-Ion and Li-Polymer batteries, chargers and mounting accessories are being increasingly used by broadcasting organisations throughout Australia and New Zealand.

Magna Systems Product Specialist David Clemesha explained, “Since their introduction to the region three years ago Blueshape’s batteries and chargers have gone from strength to strength, quickly becoming our best selling ranges.”

Recently Magna Systems has seen orders for Blueshape’s batteries and chargers increase significantly.

Clemesha added, “We have had some big repeat orders and many organisations are also buying the latest Blueshape products. Channel Nine’s Canberra Bureau recently purchased Blueshape’s innovative CVTR2 two-way chargers that have a 13.8V/110W output through a 4pin XLR for in-house charging, a CVTR1M travel charger and additional BV100HD batteries. TVNZ recently bought more Blueshape BV140 batteries to power their on-camera microwave transmitters and additional, airline cabin baggage-approved, BV100 batteries that are used by their ENG crews around NZ.

"The Australian Department of Parliamentary Services also purchased BV210 battery packs, CVTR1M and CVTR2 fast charger packs that are capable of charging at 4 Amps in constant current mode. This makes these chargers some of the quickest in the world. In addition, these Blueshape chargers are equipped with an intelligent pre-charge system, capable of initially generating a tiny charge current if the battery on charge happens to have a very low terminal voltage.”

The Blueshape V-lock battery range is designed, planned and manufactured in Europe employing high standards of technology and safety. The batteries offer high performance in terms of duration in use, with the batteries having the highest energy density in terms of Wh per unit weight or volume. The Blueshape chargers are known for their speed of charging and the fact that they have been designed to reduce battery stress and prolong battery cell lifetime.

David Clemesha concluded, “With more orders being placed we expect sales of Blueshape batteries and chargers to continue their growth in Australia and New Zealand throughout 2011. Blueshape batteries are particularly well suited to this region as they are a premium, high quality product at a very competitive price.”
