Shure SBC800-US 8-Bay Shure Battery Charger

Product Overview

The Shure SBC800-US is an 8-bay battery charger for SB900-series Li-Ion rechargeable batteries, purpose-built for high-channel-count Shure wireless deployments including PSM 900, PSM 1000, and UR5 diversity receiver systems. It delivers a full charge on all eight batteries in approximately three hours and reaches 50% capacity in one hour, making it a practical centralized charging solution for commercial AV environments where multiple wireless channels must be battery-ready before each event or session. Status LEDs provide at-a-glance charge state for each bay without requiring a connected workstation.

Product Description

With its compact low-profile form factor—40 mm tall, 189.5 mm wide—the SBC800-US fits on equipment shelves, production tables, or in equipment rooms without consuming significant surface area. The PS45 power supply is included, enabling immediate out-of-box operation. For AV environments requiring network monitoring or Wireless Workbench integration, the Shure SBC840-US Networked 8-Bay Tray Charger provides Ethernet connectivity alongside similar 8-bay capacity and is available at Creation Networks. For smaller deployments needing only 2-bay charging, the Shure SBC210-US Portable 2-Bay Charger is also available.
