SWIT unveiled the VOLTA PRO 9kWh Modular Power Station, a flexible and high-capacity power source with an output of 3200W of continuous AC/DC power. The VOLTA PRO is ideal for productions filming on-location, such as in remote areas or places where power isn’t reliable, along with extended shooting schedules. And as with other such portable power stations, the quiet operation is a big advantage. Let’s take a closer look.

For nearly 30 years, SWIT has been releasing a wide variety of production products. These include monitors, LED lighting solutions, video transmitters, various accessories, and power solutions. The company recently unveiled the SWIT VOLTA Modular Add-On Battery, a compact power system with a 12.8kWh total capacity when eight units are combined. Plus, the SWIT Transformable ARCA SWISS Plate with V-Mount.

SWIT VOLTA PRO Modular Power Station – features

The SWIT VOLTA PRO Modular Power Station is capable of providing reliable and continuous power to a variety of production products. These include lights, cameras, monitors, laptops, and more. With an output surge of 4800W, SWIT says the VOLTA PRO will provide power to cranes such as the Scorpio and Moviebird.

It features four detachable battery packs that can be easily added to the VOLTA PRO. The unit operates fully with only two packs. Capacity is 8890Wh with four 2222.5Wh modules.

The display showcases power stats in real-time: battery health, remaining runtime, and alerts for atypical conditions. It can enter sleep mode automatically if inactive for 24 hours.

Interfaces include three DC 48V outputs (800W each) and dual AC 230V outputs (2400W total), plus an AC 180-264C charging in (7 hours for full charge) and XT60 port for solar charging (supporting 12-60V at 800W, 12 hours to full charge).

The VOLTA PRO can be daisy-chained to provide even more uninterrupted power. This setup is ideal for large-scale productions and those with longer filming schedules requiring reliable power. Additionally, the compact design utilizes Eurobox pallet standards, making it ideal for use in studios and on location. Its footprint is 600mm x 400mm (1.97 ft x 1.31 ft) and weighs 65.5kg (144.4 lbs).

When shooting in the field, weather is always a concern. With NCM (nickel-cobalt-magnesium) lithium cells that are resistant to cold and special low-temperature startup tech, the SWIT VOLTA PRO can work in -20C temperatures (-4F) and up to 50C (122F). Meanwhile, the Power Station’s industrial-grade casing was designed and manufactured to IP54 standards, meaning it will operate in various conditions, including rainy or dusty conditions. 

Features and specifications include:

• 3200W AC/DC output.
• Up to 4800W surge.
• NCM lithium cells (nickel-cobalt-magnesium).
• Outputs: 2x AC 230V (2400W total) and 3x DC 48V (800W each).
