Low voltage shutdown

[Steve Yager]

I've looked through the manual and I can't find this. Does anyone know at what voltage Scarlet will shutdown on her own? I don't think my batteries (Switronix XP-L90S) communicate levels w/ Scarlet and I want to avoid her shutting down due to low power. Thanks!

11.5V I believe...

Perfect, thanks so much Glen.

According to the manual the voltage meter is supposed to change colour (green / amber / then red) as the voltage drops, but mine doesn't - stays green right until it starts flashing to warn of low voltage. (voltage reads correctly though)

Mine does as well. On a related note, it also fails to switch power to the side handle when the V-mount battery dies.

Does anyone know if it works in reverse? I mean, does it switch power to the V-mount when the RedVolt dies?

I've read elsewhere that it will switch sources if one is pulled, but that if the brick just dies then it won't switch. Don't have the camera yet to test that though.
