The Shure SBC240 is a two-bay, networked docking charger designed for intelligent management of Shure SB900 series rechargeable batteries used in professional wireless systems. This compact unit allows users to charge two batteries simultaneously while providing detailed, remote monitoring and control capabilities. By connecting to a standard Ethernet network, the SBC240 enables audio technicians and facility managers to monitor the charging status, health, and cycle count of each individual battery via a web browser or dedicated system software. This data-driven approach facilitates proactive battery maintenance, ensures optimal performance, and helps plan for timely battery replacements, which is crucial for operations relying on a large fleet of wireless transmitters.

The charger employs an advanced charging algorithm specifically optimized for the SB900 lithium-ion chemistry, delivering fast and safe charging while maximizing battery lifespan over hundreds of cycles. Each bay features an LED indicator for at-a-glance status. The SBC240 is housed in a durable, desktop-style enclosure with a half-rack width, making it suitable for placement on a workbench or integration into a rack with optional accessories. Its networked functionality allows it to be part of a centralized battery management ecosystem alongside other Shure networked chargers, providing a comprehensive view of an organization's battery inventory from a single interface.

For broadcast studios, theater companies, and touring productions, the SBC240 transforms battery management from a manual, guesswork-based task into an efficient, reliable process. It ensures that critical wireless equipment is always powered by healthy, fully charged batteries, minimizing the risk of downtime during live events or recordings. By extending battery life through proper charging and providing valuable inventory analytics, it protects significant investments in wireless systems and enhances overall operational reliability.
