Can You Use ClonerAlliance Box Pro Pocket with NP-F550 Battery While Plugged Into Power?

Yes, you can use the ClonerAlliance Box Pro Pocket while it is powered by the NP-F550 battery and plugged into the power adapter at the same time. This allows the device to operate continuously without depleting the battery.

How It Works

When the NP-F550 battery is inserted and the device is connected to a power outlet using the included 12V/1A power adapter, the device will prioritize using external power, but the battery remains connected.

This setup is useful for extended recording sessions where you want to avoid draining the battery while still having it ready for portable use.

Important Considerations

  1. Charging While in Use: The NP-F550 battery will not charge while the device is in use, even if plugged into the power adapter. To charge the battery, the device needs to be powered off or disconnected from the power adapter.

  2. Continuous Operation: Using the power adapter ensures uninterrupted recording without worrying about battery life.

  3. Switching to Battery Power: If the power adapter is disconnected, the device will automatically switch to battery power, allowing seamless operation.

Tip

For long recording sessions, keep the device plugged into a power outlet and use the NP-F550 battery as a backup for portable recording.
