Charging the LIT-22 Battery Pack

The LIT-22 battery pack comes with a USB-C to USB-A charging cable. To charge the battery:

1. Locate the USB-C port on the LIT-22 battery pack.
2. Connect the USB-C end of the provided cable to the battery pack.
3. Connect the USB-A end of the cable to a compatible USB wall adapter (not included) or a powered USB port.
4. The battery pack will begin charging. Refer to your camera's manual or the battery pack's indicators (if any) for charging status.

Operating the LIT-22 Battery Pack

Once installed, the LIT-22 battery pack powers your SPYPOINT Flex series trail camera, providing reliable and long-lasting operation. Its lithium-ion chemistry ensures stable voltage output, which is crucial for consistent camera performance, especially in varying temperatures.

• Extended Runtime: The 5.4Ah capacity allows for significantly longer operational periods compared to standard AA batteries, reducing the frequency of battery changes.
• Cold Weather Performance: Unlike alkaline batteries, the LIT-22 maintains its performance in cold conditions (down to -20 °C / -4 °F), ensuring your camera continues to function effectively during winter months.
• Seamless Swapping: For continuous monitoring, it is recommended to have a second LIT-22 battery pack. When one battery is depleted, you can quickly swap it with a fully charged one, minimizing downtime for your camera.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your LIT-22 battery pack:

• Regular Charging: Recharge the battery pack promptly when its charge level is low. Avoid completely draining the battery for extended periods, as this can reduce its overall lifespan.
• Storage: If storing the battery pack for an extended period, ensure it is charged to approximately 50-70% capacity. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Cleaning: Periodically inspect the battery contacts on both the pack and the camera for dirt or corrosion. Clean them gently with a dry, soft cloth if necessary.
• Avoid Physical Damage: Protect the battery pack from drops, impacts, and punctures, which can damage the internal components and compromise safety.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your LIT-22 battery pack, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Battery Not Charging:
  • Ensure the charging cable is securely connected to both the battery pack and the power source.
  • Try a different USB wall adapter or USB port to rule out a faulty power source.
  • Check the charging cable for any visible damage.
• Short Battery Life:
  • Verify that the battery pack is fully charged before deployment.
  • Extreme cold temperatures can still affect battery performance, though the LIT-22 is designed to mitigate this. Consider camera settings that might consume more power (e.g., frequent photo/video capture, high resolution, cellular transmission frequency).
  • Ensure the camera's firmware is up to date, as updates can sometimes improve power efficiency.
• Camera Not Powering On:
  • Confirm the LIT-22 battery pack is fully inserted and seated correctly in the camera's battery compartment.
  • Check if the battery pack itself is charged.
  • Inspect the battery contacts for any debris or corrosion that might prevent proper connection.
  • If possible, test the camera with another known-good power source to determine if the issue is with the battery or the camera.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, please contact SPYPOINT customer support for further assistance.
