1 Safety instructions

➪ Do not connect to any fixture or ballast whilst in contact with

water, if your hands are wet or damp or if connectors are
wet or damp!

➪ Do not place the Belt-Pack

®

battery in water!

➪ Allow for unobstructed air flow for convection cooling, espe-

cially when charging the battery!

➪ Handle with care! Do not throw! Do not drop!
➪ Only for professional use! Keep batteries out of reach of

children and personnel that has not been instructed in the
use of high power Belt-Pack

®

batteries!

➪ Do not pack a warm batter y into a transpor t case!
➪ Do not charge a battery whilst in a transpor t case!
➪ Do not over-charge! Do not short-circuit!

A Sachtler Belt-Pack

®

high power battery can produce cur­rents up to 90 A which can have dangerous effects if out of
control.

➪ Do not expose the battery to fire! Exhausted batter ies can

be recycled by Sachtler.

2 Properties

2.1 General

The Sachtler Belt-Pack® family consists of batteries with
different voltages and capacities:

Type nom. voltage nom. capacity

Bat 12V/4.5Ah B1245 13.2V 4.5 Ah (60 Wh)
Bat 12V/7.0Ah B1270 13.2V 7 Ah (90 Wh)

Bat 30V/4.5Ah B3045 30V 4.5 Ah (140 Wh)
Bat 30V/7.0Ah B3070 30V 7 Ah (210
Wh)All sachtler Belt-Packs® have the following features
in common:

➪ selected heavy-duty NiCd cells developed for high cur-

rent applications

➪ cell arrangements are embedded in special design for

increased mechanical ruggedness and safety

➪ housing is ergonomically shaped
➪ the interface is compatible with all Sachtler fixtures,

Sachtler electronic ballasts, and Sachtler chargers

➪ Shoulder strap and belt

2.2 Operation

The Belt-Pack® batteries are equipped with a belt and a
shoulder strap.Adjust the shoulder strap to carry the bat­tery conveniently at your hip. If you carr y the batter y at the
right side of your body, the shoulder strap should rest on
the left shoulder, and vice versa.
Use the belt to “lock” the batter y to your body.

2.3 Open circuit voltages

The output voltages of NiCd batteries can be higher than
the nominal voltages listed under 2.1, if a battery was fully
charged:

➪ B1245 and B1270 max.16.5V
➪ B3045 and B3070 max.35V

Once a fixture or ballast is connected and operated, these
open circuit voltages will drop to the respective nominal
voltages after a few moments.The connected fixture or
ballast must be able to safely operate with these higher
voltages.All Sachtler products are designed to meet these
requirements.

2.4 End of discharge voltage

A Belt-Pack® battery is considered completely discharged,
once the voltage has dropped down to 11V with 13.2V
types B1245 and B1270 and down to 25V with 30V types
B3045 and B3070.
To prevent deep discharging, the batteries must not be
discharged beyond this voltage! All Sachtler Batronics will
automatically switch off, once the limit of discharge voltage
has been reached. Sachtler Reporter fixtures R100H and
R250H must be switched off once the red LED on the fixtu­re flashes! Sachtler fixtures R20H and R50H have neither
an automatic switch-off nor an indicator. With these fixtures
a significant reduction of light output and colour temperatu­re indicates that the end of discharge voltage has been
reached and the luminaire must be switched off, since
otherwise the battery will be deep discharged. If deep
discharge occurs several times, the life time of the battery
will be reduced considerably.

2.5 Thermal properties

Professional TV lighting fixtures draw high currents from
their connected battery packs.These high currents increa­se the internal temperature of the battery pack noticeably.
Immediate fast charging may cause damage to the cells.
So allow for cooling down before charging if battery tempe­rature is increased! Also do not draw high currents from a
battery as long as batter y temperature is raised!

Please note: At very low temperatures a battery will

have low capacity.

NiCd batteries must not be charged when they are too hot
(over 50°C/118°F) or too cold (below minus 10°C/14°F). At
room temperature it can take several hours before a bat­tery which was too hot or too cold can be charged or
discharged again. If not operated or charged within this
temperature range, irreversible damage to the battery may
occur.

2.6 Memory effect

2.6.1 Description
Sachtler NiCd batteries are free of a memory effect

when used through full charge-/discharge cycles in
connection with Sachtler fixtures. Under cer tain ope­rating conditions, like permanent charging and/or
over-charging combined with very little discharging,
a reversible loss of capacity may be noticed. This
may also happen if the battery is only discharged at
higher temperatures in the range of 30°C to 50°C
(86°F to 122°F).The full capacity will, however, be
restored after a full discharge down to the end of
discharge voltage (11V, 25V resp.).

2.6.2 Reasons for capacity loss
The memory effect should not be confused with a

capacity loss caused by over-charging or over-hea­ting since this capacity loss is irreversible.External
short-circuiting of a batter y can also cause an irre­versible loss of capacity which is displayed by volta­ge loss and capacity reduction during discharging.

2.7 New Belt-Pack® batteries

For safety reasons Sachtler ships Belt-Pack® batteries in
discharged mode.The fully rated capacity will be available
after approximately five full charge-/discharge cycles.

2.8 Storing Belt-Pack® batteries

When storing Sachtler Belt-Pack® batteries please make
sure that the storage temperature is kept between minus
10 °C and 40 °C (14 °F and 104 °F).
