IDX NP-9X NP Style Li-ion Battery

Caution for safety use

Improper handling of this Li-ion battery may result in smoke, heat, fire, explosion or leakage as well as cause performance degradation or failure. Please be sure to observe the following precautions.

DANGER
May cause sudden serious injury and death.

• Charge with IDX battery charger only.
• Use with professional video cameras or other video equipment. Please contact IDX for more information.
• Do not short the contact pins with any metal object. Do not carry or store with metal equipment.
• Do not expose to heat and never throw the battery in a fire.
• Do not immerse in water. Keep the battery dry and away from excessively dry or humid environments.
• Do not leave the battery exposed to excessive heat such as in a car or directly under the sun light. Do not use outside of specified temperature ranges.
• Do not solder on the contact pins directly.
• Do not attempt lo open the outer casing or break apart the battery.
• Do not subject the unrt lo extreme physical impact or pressure, or place any object across the terminals that could cause it to short.
• Do not pierce or drill into the outer casing of the unit.
• Do not attempt to use the battery if damaged.
• Do not use the battery in a corrosive environment. Damages occur from salt water, seawater, acid, alkali, corrosive gas, etc.
• Risk of explosion if battery cells are replaced by an incorrect type.

May cause serious injury and death.

• Please note that the outside casing becomes hot when the battery is discharged in high temperatures or with high loads.
• Stop charging immediately if the battery fails to charge within the designated time. Refer to charger manuals for charge times.
• Do not use if the battery displays unusual characteristics (odd odor, discoloration, etc.) when in use, during charge or in storage.
• Keep away from fire if the battery leaks fluid or has an unusual smell.
• In case of leakage immediately wash your hands and face thoroughly with clean water and contact your IDX representative for further instructions.
• Immediately seek medical attention if battery fluid gets into contact with your eyes.

May cause injury or damage other equipment.

• Follow instructions on charging and discharging.
• Store in cool and dry conditions.
• During long periods of inactivity, please remove the battery from the equipment.
• Do not use, store or place the battery in an electrostatic area.
• Always keep the connectors clean.

Features

• Lightweight, compact, high-performance Li-ion battery with a durable design.
• Five power status LED Indicators accurately display remaining power capacity. [ Refer to Capacity display LEDs]
• Two DC output connectors for peripheral equipment. [ Refer to D-Tap] D- Tap 2 is compatible with charging.

Charging

• Only charge with IDX lithium ion charger and refrain from charging with third party chargers. Please refer to the charger manual for charging method information.

• Estimated charging times may vary depending on the charger and condition of
  the battery. Refer to our website for more details.

• The ambient temperature range for charging is 32~104°F ( 0~40″C ); however, 50~86’F( 10~30°( ) is recommended for optimizing the charging performance. When the battery is charged in temperatures 32″F( o•c ) or below, it may not fully charge, even if the designated charge time has elapsed.

• Charging outside of the recommended temperature range can accelerate cell deterioration.

• Please use IDX D-Tap charger when charging the battery through the D-Tap2 connector.

• Lithium ion batteries have a slight self discharge; therefore, IDX recommends to charge prior to use.

The policy of IDX is to value safety above all other considerations and for this c,unoN reason, the I micro batteries cannot be charged when the internal temperature of the batteries is below 32″F(O”C) or over 104″F(40″C). During use the internal temperature of all batteries rise. IDX monitor this temperature in the lmiro batteries and if ii is found to exceed 104’F(40″C) a protection circuit will trigger an error message on an IDX charger should charging be attempted whilst the battery is in this over temperature state. The error sign will cease once the battery is back within the correct temperature range and charging will resume.
Reference time intervals for the internal temperature to drop below 104″F(40’C) following discharge. (Ambient Temperature: approx. 77’F(25″C))

Discharging

• Please check that the total power consumption from the main, the two D-Taps is less than the battery’s maximum discharge power. If it exceeds the maximum discharge power, the safety protection function may be activated and it will slop discharging and may cause damage the battery. If the fuse is blown off due to an over load, the battery won’t recover.
• The battery life may diminish if high loads are applied frequently.
• Battery run-time may reduce when used in extreme high and low temperatures. IDX highly recommends to use the battery in ambient temperatures of 50~104°F ( 1o·c ~4o”C J
• The discharge characteristics of lithium ion batteries illustrate a steady curve until 13V. At 13V, the discharge curve sharply drops. For this reason, IDX recommends setting the camera’s “Low Voltage” alarm settings to13.5V~13V.
• The battery will automatically stop discharging when the voltage reaches 11V. To extend battery life, IDX recommends to stop using before the battery reaches 12V.
• Microwave transmitters with 5W outputs or more should be kept as far away from the battery as possible. High power transmitters may disrupt or stop supplying power.
• Please be sure to remove the battery from the device after use. If a battery left mounted on the device that has large standby power, the battery’s residual capacity will become lower and the over-discharge protection may be activated.
• Do not use this battery in series or in parallel connection. It may cause significant damage to the battery and any equipment connected to.

Capacity display LEDs

• When the check button is pressed, the LEDs will light for approximately 2.5 seconds. Remaining capacity is shown with five LEDs.
• This is displayed as 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80% 90%, and 100%.
• : Solid / ·*· : Flashing

D-Tap

• Two D-Taps power output terminals available.
• The maximum power output is 50W.
• Upon usage, please make sure for the maximum discharge load value of the battery.
• The output voltage is a battery through. ( 11~16.8V )
• Please do not use D-Tap connectors while charging the battery through the main connector. If you use D-Tap connectors while charging the battery through the main connector, it may cause a charging error or damage on the charger.
• D-Tap output can be used for IDX portable lights and monitors.
• You can charge the battery through the D-Tap2 connector only by using the
• IDX D-Tap charger. Please do not charge the battery through the
• D- Tap2 connector while charging the battery through the main connector.
• It may cause a charging error or damage on the charger.
• Please do not use the main, the D-Tap1 connector while charging the battery through the D-Tap2 connector. It may cause a charging error or damage on the

Please confirm the shape of connector and Ei, 0 polarity of plug side prior to connect with receptacle. Please do not force it when felt it is difficulty.

Terminal cover

• Please make sure to attach a connector cover when not in use. The cover prevents any damages/ terminal short when carrying.

Protection circuitry

• There are four types of protection circuits to ensure the battery is protected from Over-charge, Over-discharge, Over-current and Thermal protection.
• The battery is no longer operable if fuse blows, but the LED may light.
• When the temperature of the inside of the battery reaches 176°F (80°(), battery stops discharging automatically. Discharge will restart when the inside temperature becomes 140″F (60°C) or less.
• Please charge the battery quickly, if the over-discharge protection is activated. The battery may become unusable, if leave it without charging.
• The LED may light even if the protective function is activated.
