FEATURES 1. Premium Fast Charge Cells - Unlike conventional cells that are stressed or damaged by fast charging, these cells are designed specifically for optimum life and performance. 2. High Voltage Design - The 13.2 or 14.4 volt design of the Logic Series battery complies precisely with equipment manufacturers’ specifications, eliminating all the problems that cripple 12 volt batteries. 3. Impac® Case design - The computer designed high impact case eliminates conventional stress points.
The Logic Series® battery, like all professional Anton/Bauer® camera batteries, is designed only in 13.2 volt and 14.4 volt configurations with full discharge ratings of 11 and 12 volts respectfully. Thus, the Logic Series battery will always deliver 100% capacity before the equipment ever reaches its cutoff point. Moreover, this dependability is not affected by temperature, memory, age or any of the other factors that can cripple a 12 volt battery.
TRIMPAC The lightweight high energy Trimpac battery is the ideal match for the latest generation of smaller CCD cameras and camcorders. The Trimpac will provide excellent run times in applications previously using slide-in type batteries. Run time improvements to 100% are quite common with the Trimpac. CHARGING WITH LOGIC SERIES CHARGERS Charge this battery fully before using. Allow the battery to reach a steady green (Lifesaver®) mode before using. Charging is automatic on all Logic Series chargers.
The battery should remain on the charger until just prior to being used. The patented Lifesaver maintenance routine keeps the battery 100% charged and balanced by eliminating the typical self-discharge that can cripple a battery that is stored for any length of time on the shelf. Do not remove the Logic Series batteries from the charger more than 8 hours prior to actual use. For best results, this battery should be returned to the Logic Series charger within 48 hours of being used.
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE The Logic Series battery incorporates unique battery management features. Together with Anton/Bauer diagnostic accessories, an effective preventative maintenance program can easily be created to optimize the return on battery investment and greatly simplify battery management operations. The PowerCharger®, coupled with a DDM (Diagnostic Discharge Module), will provide a complete battery management system. The PowerCharger will allow you to run diagnostic evaluations.
GUIDELINES FOR OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE AND MAXIMUM LIFE 1. Keep batteries cool or at room temperatures whenever possible. Sustained elevated temperatures are the primary reason for premature failure of NiCad batteries: a. Charging - Charge batteries at room temperature. In warm climates keep chargers in air conditioned rooms that are maintained between 65°F to 85°F for best performance. b. On assignment - Do not leave batteries in a hot vehicle trunk or exposed to direct sunlight unnecessarily. c.
Anton/Bauer publishes a comprehensive “Video Battery Handbook” to help you further maximize the life and performance of your new battery. This guide is available, at no charge, by contacting Anton/Bauer at 1800-422-3473 or 203-925-4991 or fax 203-929-9935.
The Trimpac batteries have an internal resettable fuse. If a short is placed on the battery, the fuse will automatically “open”. When the short is removed, the battery will resume to normal operation. If the battery continues to blow fuses, test the equipment being powered for any short circuit at the D.C. power input. If no short is found, contact the Anton/Bauer Customer Support Department for assistance at 1-800-541-1667 or 203-925-4991 or fax 203929-9935.
SERVICE In the unlikely event a Logic Series battery fails to deliver acceptable performance it must be returned to the Anton/Bauer Service Center that is the only facility qualified and equipped to service the Logic Series batteries and calibrate the electronic components and sensors.
