  • Page 3: Important

    Important the interactive 2000 hytron battery represents the latest in video battery technology. Nickel metal hydride (nimh) is similar to nicad batteries in most characteristics. However, nimh has more sensitive charging and discharging parameters and requires a longer charge time for optimum perfo...

  • Page 4: Introduction

    Introduction the development of the new interactive 2000 hytron battery system has been made possible by recent advancements in a cell technology originally designed for the mobile computing industry. These nickel metal hydride cells provide the highest energy density cell available. The high perfor...

    6. Impac ® case design - the computer designed high impact case eliminates conventional stress points. This feature protects the cells from impact that would damage or destroy conventional batteries. 7. Gold mount ® interface - the solid metal mounting studs assure a smooth, precise mounting for the...

  • Page 7: High Voltage Design

    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 bef...

  • Page 8: Charging With Logic Series

    Charging with logic series interactive 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 interactive chargers. The flashing red and green lights indicate the charger and battery are e...

  • Page 9: Over-Discharged Batteries

    Over-discharged batteries warning: the hytron battery has specialized circuits which typically will not allow a battery to overdischarge during extended storage (more than 90 days). However, if the battery is left on a load, such as a light, and allowed to discharge to 0 volts, the battery can be ir...

    The hytron features an all new “realtime” lcd display providing on-the-fly remaining run time estimates in 15 minute increments as well as simultaneously providing remaining capacity information using the traditional “fuel gauge” approach. No special adapters or set up is required. Realtime automati...

    If the side bars (only)flash and other icons are lit and not flashing, this indicates the battery has requested to be fully charged and discharged in order to update its “learned capacity”. This “learning” should typically occur during normal equipment operation. However, if the battery has not been...

    Preventative maintenance the hytron 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 oper...

  • Page 14: And Maximum Life

    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 nimh batteries: a. Charging - charge batteries at room temperature. In warm climates keep chargers in ...

    5. Routine use of a battery at discharge rates greater than the battery rating (e.G. >50w for hytron 50) can reduce overall service life. Always select the proper size battery for your application. 6. Discharging the battery for diagnostic purposes should only be performed on an occasional basis (on...

  • Page 16: Service

    Service in the unlikely event a hytron battery fails to deliver acceptable performance, it must be returned to the anton/bauer customer support department, the only facility qualified and equipped to service the interactive 2000 hytron batteries and calibrate the electronic components and sensors. A...
