An interview from the 2025 NAB Show in Las Vegas with Zack Shannon at the Core SWX booth. Core SWX is the market leader in batteries and charging solutions for the broadcast, digital cinema and the professional video industries.

Step into the next generation of on-set power with the Powerbase Edge Snap Xtreme—a bold evolution of the award-winning Snap platform. Doubling the capacity of the original, the 98Wh Snap Xtreme delivers longer runtimes while retaining the modular innovation that transformed how filmmakers power their gear. Built for those who demand uncompromised reliability, advanced versatility, and streamlined efficiency, the Snap Xtreme redefines the standard for cinematic power solutions.

At the core of the Snap Xtreme lies its hot-swappable, stackable architecture, allowing users to snap multiple packs together in parallel for extended runtimes and increased load handling. Charging multiple stacked packs through a single USB-C PD connection enables parallel charging, drastically reducing turnaround time and simplifying power logistics on set.

Building on the magnetic connection that defined the original, the Snap Xtreme introduces Snap Lock, a reinforced mechanical latching system for secure, ruggedized attachment in high-movement and high-impact environments. Designed with a durable nylon locking lever, Snap Lock ensures packs stay firmly engaged—even in the most demanding conditions—providing years of dependable performance.

Equipped with Core SWX’s PD Pro™ technology, the Snap Xtreme features two variable-voltage PD Pro AUX outputs (5V to 28V) and two standard 12V P-Taps, enabling simultaneous powering of up to four accessories. From cameras and monitors to lights and transmitters, Snap Xtreme provides versatile, reliable power distribution across your entire rig.

Mounting flexibility is equally robust, thanks to the Edge Snap QR plate, which supports multiple 1/4-20 and 3/8 anti-rotational connections as well as compatibility with standard V-Lock mounting. The wrap-around RGB LED fuel gauge provides instant battery status and customizable color-coding, letting users identify packs at a glance across complex setups.

Fully compatible with the SNAP ecosystem, including the Snap QR plate and new SNAP-IT™ (V-SNAPIT and G-SNAPIT) interface adapters, the Edge Snap Xtreme offers an expandable and universal battery solution for nearly any production workflow.
