In addition, the camera battery will be charged when the camera’s USB-C port supplies power. Therefore, it is strictly prohibited to use the Dummy Battery and the USB-C port to deliver power at the same
2. Dummy Battery’s built-in system stabilizes the voltage at 8.4V, so the camera cannot detect Battery Grip’s battery capacity by measuring the battery Instead, please check the LED indicator of the Battery Grip to know the remaining battery capacity.
3. When Battery Grip’s two USB-C ports are powered simultaneously, both USB-C ports have a maximum output voltage of 9V. In comparison, the single port can output up to 20V depending on the device being
4. When the Battery Grip is accidentally short-circuited, it will enter protection In this case, the Battery Grip can be restarted using a USB-C cable connected to a USB adapter and charging for a few seconds.
