My Magic Power 2.0 battery will not power on or accept a charge.
What can I do?
The Magic Power 2.0 battery has an active circuit and requires a
minimum level of power to turn on or even accept a charge via
the battery’s DC input. If your battery has been in storage for an
extended period of time or has been drained completely and will
not power on or accept a charge, typically, the battery can be
revived by charging through the battery’s micro-USB input. Once
the Magic Power 2.0 has received several percentage points
of charge through the micro-USB input, it can then be charged
through the DC input and used as usual.
If charging your battery through the micro-USB input does not solve
the problem, please contact us at [email protected].
Can I charge the Magic Power 2.0 with a different charger?
Yes, the Magic Power 2.0 can be charged with a micro USB char-
ger, though this charge method can take several hours. It can also
be charged with any 14V AC adapter that has a 5.5 x 2.1mm male
DC connection.
What other devices are compatible with the Magic Power 2.0?
Aside from compact cameras, there are many other film pro
-
duction devices that are compatible with the Magic Power 2.0,
including most small field monitors and recorders, audio recorders
and follow focus units.
Check your device’s documentation. If it is able to accept 12V (or
5V USB power) and does not draw more than 2 amps, the Magic
Power 2.0 should be capacble of powering the unit.
The output on the Magic Power 2.0 is a female 5.5 x 2.1mm DC
jack. Many small field monitors and audio recorders also utilize a 5.5
x 2.1mm DC input. Again, check your device’s documentation to
see what type of power input is available. To help you make these
connections, we have many power cables and adapters available
on our website, juicebox.direct.
