Arri SR Batteries

Some Arri SR chargers and batteries are particular about the order that you plug them in. The best way to do this that will work for ALL our Arri SR batteries and chargers is:

Plug battery(batteries) into the charger FIRST. Then plug the charger into the outlet.

Please place the lock in the unlock position before closing the doors on Arri magazines. Here is a photo of damage caused by slamming the magazine door with the lock in the lock position.
