• Servicing is required when the battery pack has been damaged in any way, such as power plug damage, IDR Puch Button damage, the battery has been exposed to rain or high moisture, does not operate nomally, or has been dropped, and the battery housing damaged significantly.
• This battery pack uses Lithium-lon battery cells
• Alarge discharge amount may accelerate the deterioration of the battery pack’s internal cells.

To prevent this, use the battery pack with a discharger amount of about 3 A or less.
Continuous use at levels beyond the maximum discharge level may cause the protection circuit to shut off the current to protect the internal cells.

Charging the battery pack

• You don’t have to discharge the battery pack before recharging.

• Charging while some capacity remains does not affect the original battery capacity.

• To charge the battery efficiently, fully charge it in an ambient temperature of 10°C – 30°C (50°F – 86°F).

• The battery pack discharges naturally over time. To extend battery life, it is recommended that you fully charge the battery pack before using it

• The battery pack may become warm while used or being charged. This is normal

• Battery pack performance decreases in low-temperature surroundings.

• To conserve battery power, we recommend that you keep the battery pack dry and warm, and only insert it in your electronic device just before use.
  If the power goes off even though the remaining battery time shows that it has enough power to operate, charge the battery pack fully again so that the correct remaining battery time is shown.

• Note that the remaining battery time is sometimes not restored if used in high temperatures for a long time or left in a fully charged state, or if the battery pack is frequently used

• Remaining battery time is shown as the approximate recording time:

Charging on analog Battery Charger

• Within the NINA battery BMS (Battery Management System), a unique system for monitoring the battery’s state has been implemented. This system enables a revolutionary approach to battery safety, constantly monitoring the battery’s capacity, temperature, and integrity.
• This system allows for precise measurement of the battery’s capacity down to hundredths of a percent, providing an accurate representation on the OLED Display (Photo A)
• When charged using chargers that rely on analog readings of the state of charge, there is a possibility that batteries may not reach a full charge of 100%. Consequently, it becomes impossible to set the specified charger to continue charging the battery.
• To achieve a complete 100% charge, we recommend utilizing a USB-C charger port that communicates digitally with chargers.
• The USB-C port with QC 3.0 protocol establishes direct communication with the battery BMS, ensuring chargers can effectively charge batteries to 100%
• For optimal and thorough charging, we suggest using the HED-DC10 battery charger from Hedbox

Low Capacity Battery Alarm

NINA has a revolutionary early warning system for low battery capacity.
The Low-Capacity Alarm (LCA) operates consistently within the battery, keeping a constant watch on the battery capacity status around the clock. When activated, the alarm exclusively provides visual signals (without any sound) through the IDR LED ring. This fully automated capability enables the battery operator to confidently use the power supply without worrying about it depleting unexpectedly.

Automatic Battery low capacity ALARM

• When the Battery capacity drops below 20%
  The IDR emergency ALARM lights up (photo G.)

• The IDR ring starts fleshing out the RED color (silent mode) no buzzer, and wams that the battery capacity has fallen below 20%

• This warning continues until the battery capacity drops below 10%

• When the battery capacity falls below 10%, the alarm wil tum off and no longer wam of low capacity.

Battery low capacity ALARM Confirmation

• To confirm the low-capacity alarm and stop its Waming, press the IDR push button (Component 2.)
• The current battery capacity readout will appear on the OLED screen (photo H.)
• The IDR Ring will stop flashing and change to a constant RED light illumination. (photo H.)

The OLED display will consistently show this notification mode until the battery capacity dips below 10%. Once the battery capacity reaches below 10%, the alarm notification function will be deactivated to conserve the remaining energy essential for optimizing the battery’s safe operation

NOTE:

• Ifthe battery s in the Percentage Display Mode, the capacity will be displayed as a percentage %”
• If the battery s in the Time Display Mode, the capacity will be displayed in the remaining usage time:
• After 10 seconds upon showing the readout, the OLED Display and the IDR LED Ring will turn off.

For the secure functioning of the battery when below 10% capacity, the IDR alarm is deactivated, thereby conserving the maximum amount of remaining energy in the battery.

Important Information

Battery life

• Battery life may be shortened due to storage or operation in high temperatures.
• The performance and operating time of the battery may drop under cold conditions.
• Replace the battery pack when the operating time with a completely charged battery pack becomes noticeably short, or the IDR LED Ring flash because the BMS self-diagnostics function has detected the end of battery life:
• The battery life is limited and varies in each battery pack according to the storage, operating conditions, and working operational environment.

Self-diagnostic function

• When an abnormality is detected, the IDR LED Ring will flash a RED Color (Protection Circuit Activated)
• I this happens, further use of the battery must be with maximum caution or stop using the battery.
• The battery cannot be charged when the protection circuit is activated (IDR LED ring flashes)
• When the Protection Circuit is activated, in addition to the IDR Ring flasing indication, an error code will also be displayed on the OLED screen indicating the reason for activation and the type of activated status
• When the battery exits the active protection status, and normal conditions arise, the battery will operate unhindered. After 60 seconds, the protective circuit releases the protection and retums the battery to normal.

If you can’t charge the battery pack

• I the charging process encounters no response under the following conditions:
  – During the initial attempt to recharge the battery.
  – After the battery has been idle for an extended period
  – When the battery has been left inside the camera for an extended duration.
  – Right after the purchase
  In such instances, disconnect the battery from the charger and then reconnect it

• If the second attempt at charging proves unsuccessful, there could be a potential issue with either the battery or the charger. Stop using them and reach out to your authorized Hedbox dealer, or contact us at [email protected] for assistance.

• I the battery pack terminals become dirty or dusty, clean them with a soft cloth

How to store the battery pack

• Store the battery pack in environment that is dry at temperatures between 0°C to 23°C (32°F to 73°F)
• Ifthe battery pack is to be stored for a short period (approximately more than 24 hours and a month or less), discharge or charge it to 90% of ts total capacity to prevent deterioration of its intemal cells
• When storing the battery pack for an extended period (more than a month) it is recommended to discharge or charge it to about 60% of ts full capacity. The 60% capacity provide the best number of cycles-to-usage ratio. In this case charge it untl the capacity reaches 60% once every six months.

How to transport the battery pack by Airplane

When traveling by airplane and intending to carry Hedbox batteries, it is essential to adhere to specific air transportation regulations.
