The Shure SBC850 is an eight-bay networked charging station designed for high-volume management of Shure SB900 series rechargeable batteries, complete with an integrated power supply. This robust unit allows for the simultaneous charging and monitoring of eight batteries, making it ideal for large touring productions, broadcast facilities, theater companies, and rental houses. It connects to a standard Ethernet network, enabling remote monitoring and control of each battery's charging status, health metrics, and cycle count via a web browser or Shure system software. This centralized, data-driven management facilitates proactive maintenance and ensures a ready supply of performance-ready batteries.

The SBC850 employs an intelligent charging algorithm optimized for the SB900 lithium-ion chemistry, charging batteries quickly and safely while maximizing their operational lifespan. Each bay has an individual LED status indicator. The unit is built into a durable, single rack-unit metal chassis with an integrated universal AC power supply (100-240V), simplifying installation. Its networked capability allows it to be part of a larger ecosystem of Shure chargers, providing facility-wide oversight of battery inventory from a single interface. This comprehensive approach transforms battery management from a logistical chore into an efficient, reliable process.

For organizations operating large fleets of wireless equipment, the SBC850 is a critical infrastructure component. It maximizes system uptime by ensuring batteries are always charged and healthy, reduces the risk of show-stopping battery failures, and provides valuable analytics for planning capital expenditures. By protecting the investment in wireless systems through optimal battery care, it enhances overall production reliability and operational efficiency.
