Charging

As with all Anton/Bauer chargers, charging with an InterActive 2000 PowerCharger is fully automatic. Mount any applicable battery to any open Gold Mount position on the charger and the PowerCharger will automatically determine the appropriate charge routine and execute it.

Applications

All PowerCharger models will charge any combination of Anton/Bauer Logic Series Gold Mount batteries including models: ProPac 13/14, Compac 13/14, Trimpac 13/14, Digital ProPac 13/14, Digital Compac 13/14, Digital Trimpac 13/14, InterActive 2000 HyTRON, and DIONIC batteries.

Each PowerCharger incorporates the exclusive Anton/Bauer InterActive communication between battery and charger, which allows the charger to identify any Anton/Bauer battery attached and determine the precise charge routine for that battery under the prevailing conditions.

When coupled with Anton/Bauer DIGITAL batteries, the PowerCharger has additional information supplied from the battery which includes:

serial number of the battery

the characteristics of the battery, including voltage, capacity and cell chemistry

date of manufacture

temperature of the battery

number of charge and discharge cycles the battery has experienced

amount of self-discharge the battery has experienced since last being charged

“learned” capacity of the battery

This information is communicated to the charger by the battery and is incorporated, through specialized programming and algorithms to optimize the charging of the DIGITAL battery.

NOTE: Due to the specialized communications between the charger and the battery, batteries without the Logic Series construction and communication capability (manufactured by Anton/Bauer before 1989 as well as so-called “rebuilds”) can not be charged with this PowerCharger. The InterActive communication of Logic Series batteries is the key which allows the PowerCharger to safely identify and address new style and chemistry batteries as they are developed. Moreover, this communication ensures that batteries contain the quality cells, workmanship and safety of genuine Anton/Bauer products. If non- Logic Series batteries are placed on the PowerCharger, a message will appear accompanied by alternating flashing red and green LED indicators. This indication means that the battery cannot communicate its identity to the PowerCharger and is not charging.

DUAL 2702, QUAD 2702 specifications

Anton/Bauer is a leading name in battery technology, especially renowned for its line of professional camera batteries and chargers. Among its standout products are the QUAD 2702 and DUAL 2702 battery chargers, specifically designed for the demanding needs of the broadcast and film industries. Both models provide reliable charging solutions to keep your camera equipment powered throughout rigorous shooting schedules.

The Anton/Bauer QUAD 2702 is a sophisticated four-position charger that caters to multiple battery types, including Gold Mount and V-Mount batteries. One of its primary features is the ability to charge two batteries at a time, significantly enhancing workflow efficiency. The charger uses advanced smart charging technology that automatically detects the chemistry of the attached batteries, optimizing the charging process for maximum performance and longevity.

Built with durability in mind, the QUAD 2702 features a rugged casing that withstands the rigors of on-set use. Additionally, its integrated LED indicators display the charging status of each battery, allowing users to monitor multiple batteries at a glance.

The DUAL 2702, while similar in many ways to its quad counterpart, offers charging capabilities for two batteries simultaneously. This makes it an ideal choice for smaller production teams or operators who might not require the full capacity of the QUAD model. Like the QUAD 2702, it also features an advanced charging algorithm that maximizes battery life, ensuring that professional videographers get the most out of their investment.

Both chargers are designed with versatility in mind. They are compatible with a wide range of Anton/Bauer batteries, making them an essential tool for any filmmaker or photographer. The DUAL and QUAD 2702 units also come equipped with a power supply circuit that can handle a wide range of input voltages, allowing them to be used in various locations around the world without issue.

In summary, the Anton/Bauer QUAD 2702 and DUAL 2702 battery chargers represent the pinnacle of professional battery charging solutions. With their robust construction, advanced charging technologies, and user-friendly design, they are invaluable assets for any audio-visual production team. Whether you're shooting on location or in a studio, these chargers ensure your equipment remains powered, allowing you to focus on what matters most: capturing stunning visuals.
