Troubleshooting
Battery does not power the camera.
Ensure the battery is securely locked onto the V-mount plate. Check if the battery has a remaining charge using the 4-LED indicator. Verify that the camera is compatible with V-mount batteries and the specific voltage output.
Power percentage is not displayed on the RED camera LCD.
Confirm that your RED camera model supports battery data communication. Ensure the battery is fully seated and the data communication chip is making proper contact. Check camera settings for any battery communication options that may need to be enabled.
D-Tap or USB ports are not providing power.
Check if the connected device is drawing power correctly. Ensure the battery has sufficient charge. For D-Tap, verify the device's voltage requirements match the battery's output (14.8V). For USB, ensure the device is compatible with 5V DC input.
Battery not charging.
Use only the recommended Hedbox V-mount charger. Ensure the charger is properly connected to both the battery and a working power outlet. Clean the charging contacts on the battery and charger with a dry cloth.
Overheating during use or charging.
Remove the battery immediately and allow it to cool down in a safe area. Ensure you are operating within the specified temperature range (-20 to 45 °C). Check for any obstructions around the battery that might impede ventilation. If the issue persists, discontinue use and contact support.
