7. Battery-control
On delivery, the "Low Batt" warning is set for the use of 12V NiCd Batteries starting to blink
at 10,5V Battery tension. To protect batteries with different nominal tension you can change
this setting as follows:
1.
Press and maintain the "BATT" push-button
2.
Now activate the "REF"-switch. On each movement one LED in the lower row of the
display changes its position to the letter engraved below the display.
A = 12V batteries (Low Batt at 10,5V)
B = 13,2V batteries (Low Batt at 11,7V)
C = 14,4V batteries Low Batt at 12,9V)
A+C = 13,2V IonLithium batteries (IDX Endura; others in preparation).
Batteries with new technologies
Modern batteries offer capacities which can not be reached with usual NiCd-Batteries and,
with the need of providing power to more and more accessories, a mixer must provide the
possibility of using modern batteries – the same type as used on the camera.
This is why the Mystère is prepared to receive the adapter plates used on the cameras to adapt
to any available type of "lock-on" battery system. (V-mount from Sony, Pag-Lock, Anton
Bauer). Mystère is also capable of using the information about remaining capacity from the
battery and display it on the display.
These batteries need to be controlled by sophisticated electronics varying from one
manufacturer to the other. This demands the manufacturer to optimise the charger for the
electronics in his batteries. Therefore, it is recommended to make sure that a new battery can
be charged with the existing charger without being harmed.
You may have to purchase as many different chargers as you have different type of batteries.
To be able to adapt the mixer to any battery, used by the camera definitely helps you to keep
your budget.
