ensure that you never have to interrupt a recording to change a battery.

Before any type of disposal the battery should be discharged
completely. Tape the contacts with electrical tape and package so
as to prevent contacts accidentally coming together at any time.
Incineration must be performed by an approved and permitted
waste treatment facility that handles lithium ion batteries. If you
are not sure if your waste facility can handle lithium ion batteries,
contact them and verify if they are permitted or not.

primary battery and the Ninja Blade will not start without it.
Battery slot No.2 is the secondary or back-up battery and is not marked.
Once the Ninja Blade has been started from battery slot No. 1, it will
operate on battery slot No. 2 alone. No. 1 is only required for start up.
To attach the battery, gently slide it down into the slot and lock into
position. To remove a battery, push the latch to release it. Each battery
has its own latch, which is located to the right of battery No. 1 and to the
left of battery No. 2 as you look at the back of the Ninja Blade. Pull the
latches towards the batteries to release them.
Ninja Blade batteries and modular accessories (Connect
Converters, etc) are held in place very tightly because they are
on the outside of the device and there has to be no possibility
whatsoever that they could work loose, so you will have to be quite

it off to avoid dropping it when it is released from the main unit.
The Ninja Blade features an Atomos technology called Continuous Power
which used battery looping. When power is running low on one battery,
the Ninja Blade will automatically switch to the second battery, you can
remove one of the batteries and replace it with a fully charged one. Ninja
Blade will continue to operate as you do this. You can continue this
