Charging the batteries
When working untethered, the standard power source of the XT Camera
System is the 7.2 V (3400 mAh) BP-911/914/915 type rechargeable Li-ion
battery.
To maximize battery performance, charge the battery before use with the
supplied Pro Cube 2 charger. Approximately 2.5 to 3 hours are required to fully
charge exhausted batteries.
1. Connect the supplied power adapter to the charger and insert the
batteries into the charger slots. If charging only one battery, either slot
can be used.
2. The charge indicator will blink and display the battery’s approximate
capacity as a percentage.
3. Charging is complete when the charge indicator stops blinking and the
capacity level displays “100%”.
4. Remove the batteries and unplug the cable from the charger.
The Pro Cube 2 will display how much the batteries have been charged in mAh
since the charging session started. This can be useful if you are in a hurry and
know from experience that a particular amount of mAh is enough to get you
100 captures, for example. The three dots over a battery icon indicates on the
display which one is currently being measured.
Battery information
The XT Camera System uses a 7.2 V (3400 mAh) BP-911, 914, 915 type
rechargeable Li-ion battery and IQ4 requires the battery to be loaded prior to
use, even when shooting tethered to a computer using a bus-powered
interface cable (Gigabit Ethernet or USB-C).
Charging a device by USB
The XT Pro Cube 2 can also be used to charge a device like a smartphone by
connecting it to the USB port on the charger. The display will show USB when
doing so. Note that the Pro Cube 2 will charge any inserted Li-ion batteries
fully before starting to charge the attached device over USB.
