Power consumption
The camera draws approximately 75 watts in a typical configuration. A RED-BRICK 140Wh bat-
tery will run the camera and typical accessories for about 90 minutes. The camera is normally
cooled by passive convection from the camera body, assisted as required by a fan.
When using the RED-CHARGER, recharge time for a single RED-BRICK battery is 200 minutes.
The battery can also be partially charged, to approximately 80% capacity, in 120 minutes.
Charge times may be significantly longer if using another V lock compatible battery charger.
Note: V lock batteries from other manufacturers may be used with the RED ONE camera
provided that they meet minimum current and voltage draw requirements. In general, avoid
batteries rated at less than 7Ah and 90Wh. Battery status is provided in the camera’s user
interface (GUI) when using REDBRICK batteries. Other battery types will report as “D.C”.
Operating the camera from the RED-CHARGER.
Plug the RED-CHARGER into an AC power source between (120 – 240V). Plug one end of the
supplied 6-pin power cable into the Aux power output of the RED CHARGER and the other end
into the DC power input of the camera. Now turn on the RED-CHARGER.
When the LED above the charger’s Aux power output turns green, you can turn on the camera.
Note: The maximum sustainable power load of the RED-CHARGER is 100W @13.8V. The
output of the charger is over current protected, and will shut down if an excess load condi-
tion occurs. If the output trips for any reason, remove any external loads from the camera,
such as lights, motors etc, turn off the RED-CHARGER and repeat the above procedure.
