BG-C2 .
Introduction Thank you for choosing Vello and congratulations on your new BG-C2.2 battery grip purchase. Enjoy the many benefits that a battery grip offers, such as extended shooting time and more control and comfort when shooting in a vertical (portrait) orientation. The Vello BG-C2.2 is compatible with the Canon 5D Mark II SLR camera. The BG-C2.2 accepts two Canon LP-E6 rechargeable batteries, or six AA batteries (alkaline, Ni-MH, lithium, or nickel-manganese) can be used instead for added convenience.
The BG-C2.2 should only be used with compatible devices specified in this manual. 2. Only use with batteries and battery holders recommended in this manual. 3. Cover the power terminals with the contact cap when the BG-C2.2 is not in use. This prevents electrical shorts caused by metal objects touching the power terminals. 5. When the battery holder is removed from the grip, remove the batteries or place the holder in a container to prevent electrical shorts caused by contact with other metal objects.
