FAQs
Is this battery safe for air travel?
The NERO XL is designed with safety in mind, but always check with your specific airline's regulations regarding Lithium-ion battery capacity limits (Wh) for carry-on luggage.
Can I charge the NERO XL using any V-mount charger?
Yes, it is compatible with standard professional V-mount chargers, though we recommend using a charger that supports the battery's specific capacity for optimal performance.
What is the purpose of the USB output?
The USB port is intended for powering or charging small 5V accessories such as smartphones, tablets, or small field recorders.
Does it work with non-ARRI/RED cameras?
Yes, it is a universal V-mount battery and can provide power to any camera or device that accepts a standard V-mount connection.
How long does it take to charge?
Charging time depends on the wattage of your charger. Using a standard multi-bay professional charger is recommended for efficiency.
Troubleshooting
Battery is not recognized by the camera
Ensure the V-mount is fully locked in place and the terminals are clean. Check if the camera firmware is up to date for better communication.
Power indicator LEDs do not light up
Check if the battery is fully discharged. Place it on a certified V-mount charger to initiate a wake-up cycle.
D-Tap output is not powering the accessory
Verify the orientation of the D-Tap cable, as some may only be compatible with one direction if the pin polarity is strict. Test the accessory with a different power source.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The NERO XL utilizes a standard V-Mount (V-Lock) connection, making it compatible with the vast majority of professional battery plates and chargers. To set up, simply align the V-wedge with your camera or plate mount and slide it down until you hear a firm 'click'.
For care, avoid exposing the battery to extreme temperatures outside of the -20°C to 45°C operating range. While the Cells Framing system adds durability, avoid dropping the battery onto hard surfaces. Always store the battery at a 50% charge level if it will not be used for an extended period to preserve cell chemistry health. Ensure the contacts remain free of dust and moisture, and use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior.
