Caution On use
• Never short-circuit the battery pack terminals.
• Never attempt to open the battery pack.
• Avoid mechanical shock.
• Please consult the store where you purchased this battery pack or your
sales representative before using the battery pack in a product whose
Operation Manual/Operating Instructions does not explicitly state that
the battery pack can be used, or before using the battery pack in
conjunction with another power supply. In appropriate use of the battery
pack may result in unit misoperation.
• The internal impedance of the battery pack increases as the
temperature drops to 5°C (41°F) or below. This may result in a shorter
operating time or the failure of the component to which it is connected to
turn on. This phenomenon occurs more frequently in battery packs that
have been charged many times than in new ones.
• The performance and operating time of the battery may drop under cold
conditions. When this happens, do the following to extend the operating
time of the battery pack:
- Keep the battery pack warm and attach it to the component right before
use.
- Charge the battery pack only with the charger dedicated to the RP-
BP975 Battery Pack like REDPRO Model RP-DC20, and within a
temperature range of 10°C to 30°C (50°F to 86°F).
• Large discharge amount may expedite deterioration of battery pack’s
internal cells. To prevent this, use the RP-BP975 with discharger amount
of about 3 A or less.
• The maximum discharge amount is 5A for the RP-BP975 at 23°C
(73°F). Continuous use at levels beyond the maximum discharge level
may cause the protection circuit to shut off the current to protect the
internal cells.
• A protection circuit will shut off the current to protect the battery pack’s
internal cells under the following conditions:
To the purchasers of the RP-BP975
The RP-BP975 Lithium-Ion Battery Pack has a rated capacity of less
than 100 Wh. It can thus be transported as a non-hazardous lithium-ion
battery. Related laws and regulations are, however, subject to change.
For detailed conditions regarding the transport of battery packs, please
consult your respective air transport company.
-When an excessive current flow is caused by overloading or short
circuited terminals
- When the voltage drops to 5V or lower and results in the cessation of
current output.
• Once the protection circuit has tripped, the battery pack will not return
to normal automatically. To cancel the effect of the protection circuit, you
must charge the battery pack with charger dedicated to the lithium-ion
battery packs like REDPRO model RP-DC20.
Caution On storage
• Never expose the battery pack to rain or moisture.
• Keep away from children.
• Never expose the battery pack to temperatures above 60°C (140°F).
Store the battery pack in dry place at temperatures between 0°C to 23°C
(32°F to 73°F).
• If the battery pack is to be stored for a short period (approximately more
than 24 hours and a month or less), discharge the battery pack to 90% of
its full capacity to prevent deterioration of battery pack’s internal cells.
• When storing the battery pack for an extended period (more than a
month),
it is recommended that you discharge the battery pack to about 50% of
its full capacity. (The two LED light up green) While the battery pack is
stored, charge it until the capacity reaches 50% once in 6 months.
• If the battery pack terminals become soiled, clean them with a soft
cloth.
WARNING
• Batteries shall not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine.
fire or the like.
Battery life
• Battery life may be shortened due to storage or operation in high
temperatures, storage with its full capacity, and frequent use.
• Renew the battery pack when the operating time with a completely
charged battery pack becomes noticeably short or all LEDs flash green
because the self-diagnostics function has detected the end of battery
life. If a battery pack is deteriorated, all LEDs may not light when the
CHECK button is pressed just after charging is completed.
Self-diagnostic function
When an abnormality is detected, all the LEDs flash in green. If
this happens, stop using the battery pack immediately. Once the
LEDs start flashing, the battery pack cannot be recharged

retain it for future reference.
Important Safety Instructions
• Keep these instructions.
• Heed all warnings.
• Follow all instructions.
• Do not use this apparatus near water.
• Clean only with dry cloth.
• Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers,
stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
• Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type
plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A
grounding-type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The
wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the
provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for
replacement of the obsolete outlet.
• Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the
manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use
caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury
from tip-over.
• Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for
long periods of time.
• Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is
required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as
plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the
apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does
not operate normally, or has been dropped.
Overview/Features
The RP-BP975 Battery Pack uses Lithium-Ion Batteries.
Use the RP-BP975 Battery Pack only with equipment whose
Operation Manual/Operating Instructions recommends its use.
The features of the RP-BP975 are as follows:
• The battery pack can be recharged before being fully exhausted.
• Remaining capacity is indicated by a four-step LED display
(more than 80%, 60%, 40%, 20%) when you press the Check button.
• Remaining capacity is indicated on LED display when you press the
Check button.
Caution On charging
• The battery pack can be charged within a temperature range of 0°C
to 40°C (32°F to 104°F). However, we recommend charging within a
