Charging Batteries with the XL-PowerStation
Enabled charging bays are indicated by LEDs within each
charging bay. If the TA-4 or USB-PD with proper rating is used,
all eight charging bay LEDs illuminate. If a USB-PD adapter is
used which does not supply enough power, then only three of
the charging bay LEDs will illuminate.
The XL-PowerStation charges Sony NP-BX1 battery within an
A20-MINI. AAA battery charging is not supported. Inserting
A20-MINIs with AAA batteries into the charging bay will not
damage anything, but the unit will simply not charge.
Insert the A20-MINI into an enabled charging bay of the
XL-PowerStation. The A20-MINI slides into a charging bay with
theantenna-siderst,theantennamaybeleftattached.Sound
Devices recommends disconnecting lavalier microphones be-
fore inserting the A20-MINI into the charging bay.
Charging status is indicated by the SD-Remote application and
the A20-MINI bottom panel Charge LED.
