ProX SP Series User manual

SP
Series Lithium ion Camera Batteries-

Safety
● Read and follow these instructions.
● Charge with recommended chargers only.
● Use with professional video cameras or other video equipment.
● Due to IATA Li-ion battery air transport regulations, all batteries packed by themselves
are discharged to approximate 30% of the rated design capacity. Please do charge the
battery before using.
Handling
● Do not expose the battery to heat and never throw it in fire or use flammable or combustible
materials and solvents around batteries or chargers. Do not use outside of specified
temperature ranges (above 60℃/140℉).
● Do not immerse in water. Keep the battery dry and away from excessively dry or humid
environments.
● Do not attempt to open the outer case or break apart the battery. Do not pierce or drill into the
outer case of the battery.
● Do not subject the battery to extreme physical impact or pressure, or place any object across
the terminals that could cause it to short.
● Do not attempt to use the battery when is damaged.
● Do not use the battery in a corrosive environment. Damages occur from salt water, seawater,
acid, alkali, corrosive gas, etc.
Electrical Connection
● Do not short the contact pins with any metal object. Do not carry or store the battery with
metal equipment.
● Do not use, store or place the battery in an electrostatic area.
● Always keep the terminals (of the battery and the charger) clean.
● Do not solder on the contact pins directly.
● Wrong connection between the equipment and the P-Tap will cause short circuit of the
equipment. Please pay extra attention to the P-Tap polarities.
Using
● Please note that the outer case will become hot when the battery is discharged in
high temperatures or with high loads.
● Do not use if the battery displays unusual characteristics (odd odor, discoloration,
etc.) when in use, during charge or in storage.
● Keep away from fire if the battery leaks fluid or has an unusual smell.
● In case of leakage, immediately wash your body parts contacting the battery fluid
thoroughly with clean water and contact your PRO-X representative for further
instructions.

● Immediately seek medical attention if battery fluid gets into contact with your eyes.
● All Lithium-ion batteries have a finite life. If the battery exhibits noticeably shortened
run-time,the battery should be replaced immediately. Shortened run-time is indicative
of at least one cell, which has reached end of life. Under no circumstances attempt to
“recondition” this battery by repeated charging and discharging.
● Set low voltage alarm of the camera to 12V before usage(Refer to user’s manual
of your camera).Change the battery with another one when low voltage alarm of
the camera warns.
● Stop charging immediately if the battery fails to charge within the designated time.
● Store in cool and dry conditions to help lengthen the battery's service life.
● During long periods of inactivity, please remove the battery from the equipment.
● When store the battery for extended period (more than one month), it is recommended
to discharge the battery to 50% of the full capacity, and charge it to more than
50% once in 3 months.
General Information
● Compact rechargeable Li-ion camera battery.
● High efficiency rechargeable cells ensure reliable performance.
● Built-in MCU control and four-step remaining capacity LED display (25% for
each step) show the battery’s remaining capacity precisely.
● A P-Tap can be used to power peripheral equipments or as charge port.
● USB port outputs 5V/2A.
● Internal protection circuits monitor cell balance, temperature, overcharge and
overdischarge to insure safe and proper operation.

Charging
●
or brochure for details.
● The battery can be charged in any charge condition.
● We recommend charging the battery in an ambient temperature (in door) of between
0~40℃ (32℉~104℉), 10~30℃ (50℉~86℉) is the best). If you charge the battery
outside this temperature range, you may not be able to efficiently charge the
battery.
● If the ambient temperature is below 0℃ (32℉), it will not be fully charged even if the
designated charging time has passed.
● The four-step remaining capacity LED display indicates the current capacity
according to table 1.
● The battery will exhibit a small amount of self discharge. PRO-X recommends always
charging the battery before use.
Estimated charging times may vary with different chargers. Refer to PRO-X website
USB
● USB connector for power supply (DC5V/2.0A).
● USB connector is Type A (USB cable should be Type A as well).
● Do not draw power from USB while charging as it may interrupt charging , cause a charger
error, or damage the charger.
Attaching a Battery
To attach a battery to Mount adaptor:
1. Slide the battery onto the adaptor, ensuring the V Type Mount is aligned in the
corresponding slots.
2. The battery is fully engaged when the latch makes an audible“click”.
