Charging the batteries
The Aaton Li-Ion batteries must be charged with the Aaton Cha-Li three-hour
charger. If you can’t even tolerate the low noise level of its fan (around
30dBA at one meter), use a silent Aaton Chascot five-hour charger.
Both chargers can simultaneously charge two batteries.
Other power sources
A variety of 14 to 16VDC sources can be used to power the camera:
AC-DC power supplies, battery blocks, Lithium-Ion, and lead-acid car batter-
ies.
Since Penelope’s power sockets are universal XLR-4s, you should always
carry an XLR-4 powercable in your package.
Regarding AC-DC power supplies, it is recommended that the unit be able to
supply 10A peak and 60W. Before connecting any non-standard source,
always make sure that the pin configuration of the unit is correct. See Chap-
ter 5 for wiring details.
