end) accordingly.

3. Plug the adapter into an USB power outlet to start charging.
USB Cable Adapter

Conditions may vary depending on the specific chargers used. It is
recommended to use an adapter with higher current capacity.
2. The battery cannot be charged through the USB port on the stabilizer.
1. Please use qualified standard 5V/≥2000mA adapter for battery charging;
charging time depends on the maximum input current of the adapter.
2. This stabilizer comes standard with two high-discharge-rate dedicated
batteries. Please use and charge batteries provided or approved by
ZHIYUN only.
3. Please make sure both the batteries are fully charged. Either battery
under charged can lead to failure of the stabilizer.
