2.3 Charging the Batteries for the IQ2 Digital Back
Charge the batteries as soon as the camera system has been unpacked.
The Value Added roller case is delivered with two 7.2 volt Lithium-Ion
batteries and a duo-charger.
Although only one battery can be used in the IQ back at a time, it is
recommended to charge both batteries fully before you start.
Always keep a battery in the IQ back even when shooting tethered to
a computer via a FireWire or USB connection. (Go to page 84 for more
details about charging the battery while tethered to a computer).
The battery charger can adapt to voltages within a range of 110 to 250
volts.
It comes with an international set of power adaptors (located in the
suitcase utility compartment). Please select the appropriate one that
ts your outlet and slide it in from the top to mount it in place securely.
Connect the unit to the outlet and charge the batteries (approximately
2.5 to 3 hours).
After the rst initial charge, the batteries can be charged one at a time.
Purchasing Extra Batteries
The Phase One IQ back comes with two batteries. Phase One
recommends the Canon BP 915 (with more than 2500 mAh) if you need
to purchase extra batteries.
Some third party batteries may not t into the digital back’s battery
compartment due to differences in the tolerances. Do not try to force
a battery into the compartment. When pressing the battery release
button it should slide in without being hindered.
