Hey Ivan,
The P-Taps and DC outputs on the EVO are active as long as the internal pack is charged, an onboard battery is mounted, or an AC/DC source is plugged into the DC input on the EVO. Your Teradek will remain powered during a battery hot swap when plugged into the EVO's DC outputs.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks!
Thanks Zack, please bare with me, I just want to make sure I'm following...
Scenario is: the EVO is charged, no AC adapter is plugged in, I have the Teradek powered from the d-tap port on the EVO plate, and there is a dying v-lock batter on the back-end of the chain.
1) The EVO will continue to provide power to that d-tap port while I swap in a fresh v-lock?
2) The voltage draw spike when the Red (Scarlet-W / Dragon-X) camera boots up won't draw so much power that the d-tap ports temporarily can't power the Teradek?
Thanks for getting into the weeds here
