Shure SBC240-US Two-Bay Networked Docking Charger and PS60 Power Supply

Product Overview

The Shure SBC240-US Two-Bay Networked Docking Charger with PS60 Power Supply provides a complete, ready-to-deploy charging solution for Axient Digital wireless systems, supporting any combination of two SB910 or SB920 Li-Ion batteries or docked ADX1, ADX2, or ADX2FD transmitters. Ethernet connectivity enables real-time battery monitoring via Shure Wireless Workbench and TCP/IP integration with AMX and Crestron control systems—making it the standard networked charger for managed commercial AV and broadcast installations. This bundle includes the required PS60 power supply; no additional purchase is needed for immediate deployment.

Product Description

The SBC240-US charges SB910 and SB920 battery cells—the rechargeable batteries used in Axient Digital ADX1 bodypack and ADX2/ADX2FD handheld transmitters—at up to 1.25 A, reaching 50% capacity in approximately one hour and full charge in three hours. Up to four SBC240/SBC220 units can be ganged together to share a single power supply and Ethernet connection, reducing cabling overhead in multi-system deployments. Storage Mode charges or discharges batteries to 3.8 V for long-term storage, preserving cell health when wireless systems are not in active use. For organizations deploying larger Axient Digital systems, the Shure SBC840-US 8-Bay Networked Tray Charger offers higher-capacity centralized charging and is available at Creation Networks.
