The device is intended for fixing underneath a camera to supply power to it and its accessories. The whole arrangement can also be mounted on a tripod if needed.

Principle of operation Bubblepack internally contains 8 high quality Li-ion battery cells that can deliver a total of 65Wh. A battery management system and a high efficiency step-down converter create a choice of 3 voltage outputs - those most widely used in today's latest miniDV and DSC cameras: • 14.8V nominal • 11.2V regulated and fixed • 8.4V regulated and fixed The safety circuit features the usual, over and under voltage battery protections together with full output short circuit protections.
Auto turn-off modes Further features include 'sleep mode' to minimise battery drain during inactivity and when the battery pack reaches a low voltage threshold of 12.6V. In 'sleep mode', the internal microprocessor goes to low power mode thus minimising battery consumption. The battery can go to sleep mode in 3 ways: • • • automatically, if pack voltage is < 12.6V if there is no activity for 60 minutes if the test button is pressed for > 3 seconds until the LED closest to the push button flashes.
How to charge Bubblepack A fast charger has been included in the package. Simply connect the charger to one of the HIGH outputs on Bubblepack and the device will charge. It is expected that the device reaches full charge from empty within 2 ~ 3 hours. The LED on the charger will be red during charging but will turn to green when charge is completed. It is recommended to charge Bubblepack on first use or after a long period of shelf life or inactivity.
