Page 9: Charging
Four or more linked batteries can be charged on each position, depending on the charger model and firmware version. PAG Pulsar and Quasar Gold Mount chargers are not suitable for charging PAGlink Gold Mount batteries. The following chargers will charge PAGlink PL150... -
Page 10: Discharging
Constant-voltage V-Mount Li-Ion chargers of other reputable manufacturers are also suitable. PAGlink batteries display their individual status, during charging, on their built-in display. When using PL16 chargers, the characters of the PL150T numeric display can be inverted, for legibility, with a single button press. -
Page 11: Storage
If the battery is discharged at too high a rate, even momentarily, the protection circuit may be triggered, disconnecting the battery output. If the battery has been shut down by its protection circuit it can be recovered by simply removing it from the load and pressing the display button, provided the battery still retains some charge. -

in a half-charged state, and unlinked. Storing batteries linked accelerates the rate at which they self-discharge. Maintenance charging is not required during long term storage. Store in a cool, dry place at a temperature between 0°C and +20°C. Long-term storage outside of this temperature range may reduce the battery’s life. - Page 13 (2) A single button press of the display, whether the battery is off or on-load, shows a percentage figure of available capacity. When batteries are linked this figure still relates to the battery’s individual capacity. (3) When battery capacity drops below 5% the display will indicate that the battery should be charged by pointing to the empty battery symbol.
- Page 14 (7) The ‘MINS’ light will then flash twice. (8) The number of minutes will be indicated by the number of lit segments: each light = 10 mins. When batteries are linked the run-time displayed relates to the total for the connected batteries. (9) A single button-press, whether the battery is on or off-load, displays charge status in terms of percentage.
- Page 15 PAGlink V-Mount batteries automatically adjust the data output standard to support the following: SMB (Sony), I C (IDX) and analogue 0V to 5V (Anton Bauer). PAGlink Gold Mount batteries are compatible with the camera data system that allows both PAGlink and Anton Bauer batteries to display their capacity in the viewfinder/LCD.
