Just scratched my battery!

I don't believe this. Got a new hard case and tried to fit a 5400 mAH battery into a tight (erm, VERY tight) compartment. It ended up getting wedged and the only way for me to finally get it back out was to use a thin plastic element as a pincer of sorts. End result - multiple scratches on the battery casing. They're surface marks (several nasty gouges, close to what could be called deep - or let's just say, there are tracks in the plastic - ,but nothing has been exposed and the battery is working perfectly), but I'm wondering if the battery is still safe to use? It looks only slightly rougher than banged up handling wear, but the plastic is definitely pretty scratched up on one side. Never had this experience before, and am unsure of what to do. Help!!!

I would think it's fine. The second you see anything secreteing from it STOP USING IT!
 
Re: Just scratched my battery!

That's good advice for both the Dvx and well... um other "things" as well. ;)

Unless you're doing a remake of "Skin Deep".
 
Re: Just scratched my battery!

I like it when my battery bleeds.

Has anyone tried powering the dvx100a/100 off the anton bauer batteries using their gold moount adaptor?

I was considering buying two bricks to power my field monitor, camera and mike. B&H have these plate adaptors for the battery that converts it to 4 a/c outlets. Perfect for portable field use no? Any comments. Much appreciated.

I'm a moron. I meant *mic*. And no I will not be plugging any PA or anything into the socket for special effects... well maybe for shits and giggles.

Ya know enterdcable, you can click "modify" to go back and fix spelling errors. Just FYI. :)

Thanks for confirming that I'm a moron. :P I have to go wash my face off now because I have stupid stamped on it.

I was gonna go change the spelling of mike to mic but then would that make me look stupid for having corrected myself twice. Would that be redundant. Is this blurb redundant. Am I redundant? ;D

But I keep learning and learning thanks TC, now I know :D!
 
Re: Just scratched my battery!

No worries. I did that a bunch of times before someone pointed it out to me.

Oh my God, a scratched battery! Listen to me carefully... put the battery down, step back slowly and call the local bomb squad. You're lucky to have your arms.
