An interview from the 2016 National Association of Broadcasters Convention in Las Vegas with Andrew Butler of Anton/Bauer. With more than 40 years of proven experience, Anton/Bauer is recognized as the world’s premier provider of multi-chemistry battery, charging, and monitoring technologies for the professional broadcast, pro-video, cinema and healthcare industries. The company’s industry-standard products are compatible with every camera brand on the market today, while providing top-tier levels of safety, performance and reliability. In this interview Andrew talks with us about the CINE battery series & firmware updates to their Performance Quad Chargers.

The CINE battery series is a lightweight and compact mobile power solution using next generation Li-Ion cell technology specifically designed to provide optimal performance for high power consumption digital cinema style cameras. With the durability and long lasting charge that Anton/Bauer is known for, the CINE battery also has an easy to read LCD display which conveniently reports run time in hours and minutes when attached to a device or displays percentage of full charge when not attached. The CINE battery series delivers 12 amps of continuous power, a higher current than other batteries, and includes a PowerTap® to power auxiliary accessories such as monitors, lights, wireless receivers, and any other 14V accessory.

The CINE series is small, lightweight and acts as a natural extension of the camera while also incorporating Fuse Link technology, a connection technology that vendors developed as a result of Tesla Motor research efforts. Fuse Link technology provides an added protection circuit which – in the case of a cell anomaly – provides protection to surrounding battery cells, preventing catastrophic damage if a single cell is affected by severe impact, puncture or thermal runaway. The battery line also features multiple sensors to detect temperature and over-current states, ensuring optimal battery performance during regular use.
