Troubleshooting

Battery not powering on or displaying status.

Ensure the battery is properly seated on the V-mount. Press the power button firmly. If still unresponsive, connect it to a charger to check if it receives power and then try again.

Device connected to output port is not receiving power.

Verify that the correct output port is being used for the device. Check that the cable is securely connected to both the battery and the device. Ensure the battery has sufficient charge. Confirm the device's power requirements are within the battery's output specifications (e.g., 8V output for an 8V device).

Battery charging slowly or not charging.

If using USB-C, ensure you are using a 65W PD charger. Check the USB-C cable for damage. If using a V-mount charger, ensure it is compatible and properly connected. Clean the charging contacts on the V-mount if necessary.

OLED display shows an error code.

Refer to the product manual for specific error code meanings. Common errors may relate to over-temperature or over-discharge, requiring the battery to cool down or be recharged.

Device powers off unexpectedly while connected.

This may indicate the connected device is drawing more current than the battery's output limit (e.g., exceeding 10A total draw) or the battery's charge is critically low. Disconnect some devices or recharge the battery.
