BASIC BATTERY OPERATIONS
This section describes the basic battery operations of REDVOLT, REDVOLT- V, REDVOLT XL, and RED BRICK
batteries.
NOTE:
A DSMC2 REDVOLT XL Module is required to use a REDVOLT XL battery with WEAPON, SCARLET-W,
RAVEN, and EPIC-W cameras.
NOTE:
A DSMC2 V-Lock I/O Expander, Battery Belt Clip, RED Quickplate, RED Cradle, DSMC2 V-Lock Battery
Module, or DSMC2 V-Lock Battery Module Pro is required to use a RED BRICK battery with WEAPON, SCARLET-W,
RAVEN, and EPIC-W cameras. The RED Quickplate and RED Cradle require a 2B-to-1B Power Adaptor Cable.
NOTE:
A DSMC V-Lock Battery Module, DSMC2 V-Lock I/O Expander, or DSMC2 V-Lock Battery Module Pro is
required to use a REDVOLT-V battery with WEAPON, SCARLET-W, RAVEN, and EPIC-W cameras.
BATTERY DISCHARGE PROTECTION
REDVOLT, REDVOLT-V, REDVOLT XL, and RED BRICK batteries are equipped with discharge protection and shut off
if output voltage falls below 10 V. Lithium-ion batteries self-discharge over time. Charging the battery restores the lost
charge. For more information, go to
"Battery Storage and Handling" on page 6
.
PERFORM A FULL CHARGE
RED recommends that you perform a full charge, also known as a deep charge, at least once every 10 battery charge
cycles. A full charge consists of discharging a battery completely, and then recharging it to maximum capacity.
Performing a full charge helps maintain maximum battery capacity and calibrates sensors to provide accurate capacity
readout information.
To perform a full charge, follow the instructions below:
1. Completely discharge the battery.
2. Connect the appropriate RED charger to a standard wall outlet or other sufficient power source.
3. Insert the discharged battery into the charger.
4. Charge the battery until the LED indicator turns green, signalling a fully charged battery.
5. Remove the battery from the charger. DO NOT overcharge for extended periods of time.
