High Voltage Design

Virtually all cameras/camcorders will indicate a low voltage warning or cease to operate at about 11 volts. Unfortunately, a 12 volt battery must be discharged to 10 volts for full discharge. Thus, a camera/camcorder operating on a 12 volt battery will always cease to operate before fully discharging the battery, leaving 50% of the total capacity unused under certain conditions. The amount of this wasted capacity can vary each day depending on temperature, etc., thus creating what appears to be totally inconsistent performance.

The InterActive 2000 HyTRON battery is designed only in a 14.4 volt configuration with full discharge rating of 12 volts. Thus, the HyTRON battery will always deliver 100% capacity before the equipment ever reaches its cutoff point. Moreover, this dependability is not affected by memory, age or any of the other factors that can cripple a 12 volt battery.

Virtually all cameras, camcorders, and other video field equipment specifies a maximum voltage of 17 volts. The 14.4 volt HyTRON battery will provide superior performance and greater run time on that equipment.

CAUTION: Certain older equipment is not designed to accept 14.4 volt batteries. A 14.4 volt battery could damage such equipment. Check with the equipment manufacturer or the Anton/Bauer Customer Support Group prior to using a 14.4 volt battery.
