The Shure SBRC-US is a sophisticated networked battery rack charger designed for the Axient Digital wireless ecosystem. This intelligent charging system allows for the centralized management and charging of up to 16 Shure SB900 series lithium-ion batteries simultaneously. It connects to a standard Ethernet network, enabling remote monitoring and control of the charging process via a web browser or system software. This provides audio technicians and inventory managers with real-time data on battery status, charge cycles, and health for each individual cell, facilitating proactive maintenance and ensuring a ready supply of fully charged batteries for demanding productions.

The unit employs an advanced charging algorithm optimized for the SB900 battery chemistry, charging batteries quickly and safely while maximizing their lifespan over hundreds of cycles. Each of the 16 bays has an individual LED indicator to show charging status at a glance. The SBRC-US is built into a rugged, single rack-unit metal chassis, making it ideal for installation in equipment racks at broadcast facilities, theater fly rails, or touring racks. Its networked capability allows for the management of multiple chargers across a facility from a single interface, streamlining the workflow for large-scale operations that depend on dozens of wireless transmitters.

For major tours, broadcast studios, and large installed venues, the SBRC-US transforms battery management from a logistical challenge into a streamlined, data-driven process. It ensures maximum uptime for wireless systems, reduces the risk of deploying undercharged or faulty batteries, and provides valuable analytics for planning battery replacement cycles. This charger is a critical component in maintaining the reliability and performance of high-channel-count Axient Digital wireless systems.
