Atomos Ninja Star – User Manual Edition 1: October 2014 7
Battery
The Ninja Star is a battery powered device. Like all batteries, you will need
to take care of them. Make sure that you don’t short circuit the connections
because this can result in very high currents that can damage the cells
and could pose a fire hazard.
Charge new batteries before using them, using the battery charger
supplied. To attach the battery, gently slide it down into the slot until it locks
into position. To remove a battery, push the latch to release it.
Batteries do not charge in a linear way. At first they charge very
quickly, and then the rate slows down to a trickle. While charging, the
Charge light will be red. Eventually, when trickle charging is complete
and the batteries are at 100% charged, the Charge light will go green.
The charge can take a long time to fully complete, but the battery will
be almost fully charged after 3 hours. (2600mAh Capacity)
Before any type of disposal the battery should be discharged
completely. Tape the contacts with electrical tape and package so
as to prevent contacts accidentally coming together at any time.
Incineration must be performed by an approved and permitted waste
treatment facility that handles lithium ion batteries. If you are not sure
if your waste facility can handle lithium ion batteries, contact them and
verify if they are permitted or not.
Ninja Star batteries and modular accessories (Connect Converters,
etc) are held in place very tightly because they are on the outside of
the device and there has to be no possibility whatsoever that they
could work loose, so you will have to be quite firm with the battery
latches. We suggest that you familiarise yourself with the force
required to remove the batteries and accessories so that you can
do this quickly in the field. Make sure that you hold the top and the
bottom of the battery or accessory module when sliding it off to avoid
dropping it when it is released from the main unit.
The Ninja Star may be powered using our D-Tap adaptor which is
available separately.
IMPORTANT: Make sure DC Power range applied to the Ninja Star is
between 6.2V to 16.8V.
