Extend the life of your battery

There are several factors that can affect the health of a battery. Blueshape, the quality and durability of a product are fundamental aspects and the long life of its batteries is one of its priorities.
Some of the factors that detrimentally affect are:

• Temperature changes
• Excess load
• Bad battery storage

Temperature chages
Blueshape produces high-capacity batteries that are also highly resistant. The climate can be a problem for its performance, for example, in productions carried out in locations with low temperatures: the cold increases the internal resistance and decreases the battery voltage, causing the current to be lower. Blueshape solves this problem and enables filming on location in snowy and mountainous areas. A good example is the film The Society of the Snow, directed by J.A. Bayona, in which Blueshape batteries were used; it was the only brand that could withstand such extreme weather conditions. Another case of resistance in extreme locations would be that of the documentary filmmaker and director of photography, Philip Grossman. Grossman for his work in Chernobyl, he could only use Blueshape batteries since they were the only ones that resisted radioactivity.


Excess load
Overcharging can also be damaging to the health of some batteries. Blueshape has developed smart charging technology focusing on the care of its cells. The electronics are constantly active to keep the cells in a perfectly balanced state in terms of voltage and capacity to prolong their life. In addition, they have protection systems that are activated by blocking the battery if it detects excess current.
On the other hand, Blueshape has technologies that allow the user to control or even update the batteries.

GRANITE SMART is the free app for monitoring and diagnosing B-Mount bateries via wireless connection, via Bluetooth Low Energy, or wired via the USB-C port. The GRANITE SMART system is the evolution of the previous GRANITE Link and will be the platform for all future BLUESHAPE products. With GRANITE SMART, users can instantly connect to their batteries and monitor them during use or charging, keeping them under control. Available for iOs and Android.

​SMARTMon is the free software for testing and updating B-Mount batteries, GRANITE SMART line, connecting them to the PC via a USB-C cable. Allows you to keep your GRANITE SMART battery updated to the latest version. Available for Windows 7, 8, 10, 11. Read the SMARTMon new for more information.

Bad storage
Poor storage of batteries can affect and damage their condition. Blueshape has designed different flight cases that allow you to transport your batteries safely by plane and, also, store them in optimal conditions. Depending on the number of batteries and the model to be stored, the professional can choose between BX4, for 4 units, BX5, for 5 units, and BX8, for 8 units.
