Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using the PB-S98S, simply align the V-mount notch with your camera's battery plate and slide it until you hear a secure click. Compatibility is standard across all V-mount systems, but users should verify that their camera plate does not have protruding pins that might interfere with the square housing. For care, keep the contact pins clean and free of debris. Always store the battery in a cool, dry place and avoid fully depleting the cells if you intend to store the unit for long periods. Periodically cycle the battery by fully charging and discharging it to maintain cell health.
