Anton/Bauer Customer Support Group
Weekly, or as needed – Clean the device, associated components, and
accessories as needed with a damp, non-saturated cloth or paper towel. Do not
wet the exposed metal part of the battery charge terminals. Do not use
solvents or scouring agents. Example s of approved solvents are Cidex® and
Windex®. Consult Anton/Bauer Customer Support Group for approved list of
cleaning agents.
Periodic cleaning of both the charger terminals and battery terminals will
ensure continued reliable operation. Clean the terminals occasionally with a
pencil eraser or lightly scrape the surface with a blunt instrument to help
reduce the likely hood of build up causing poor communication or charging.
Contact Anton/Bauer Customer Support Group with additional inquires as to
maintenance.
Storage
CAUTION! Keep batteries cool or at room temperatures whenever possible.
Sustained elevated temperatures are the primary reason for premature failure
of Lithium-Ion batteries.
CAUTION! Charge batteries at room temperature. In warm climates keep
chargers in air conditioned rooms for best performance.
CAUTION! Although Lithium-ion has good selfdischarge characteristics,
batteries should be stored for long term storage in a fully charged condition.
CAUTION! Batteries should always be stored in a fully charged state and
kept cool. If batteries must be stored for a long period (over 30 days), the
battery electronics will enter a “deep sleep” mode. The battery will “wake up”
when placed on a charger. It is always a good idea to submit the battery to a
discharge/charge cycle from time to time during storage.
Air Transportation Regulation
Dangerous Goods Regulations 49CFR Parts 100-185, Air Transport Association
(IATA) and the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) regulations
apply to all Lithium-Ion battery transport.
Air Transportation Declaration
Vitec Videocom, Inc. declares that the Anton/Bauer Dioni XT lithium-ion
battery packs contain equivalent Lithium content (ELC) in a quantity exceeding

Components and Connections
Dionic XT Series LCD
Every Dionic XT Series battery has an easy to read LCD which conveniently
reports battery information in one of two ways.
- When the battery is sitting idle (no load is applied) the LCD will show remaining capacity as percentage of full.
- When a specific load is applied to the battery, the LCD will display remaining run-time in Hours/Minutes.
- For use in dark shooting environments, the Dionic XTs are equiped with an LCD backlight , this may be activated by touching the surface of the battery on or adjacent to the XT logo.
Dionic XT Series LCD
The Dionic XT batteries are equiped with sophisticated on-board
diagnostics. Entering diagnostic mode is achieved by a triple tap on the XT
logo. Once in diagnostic mode different fields of information may be
displayed. A single tap will advance to the next field. Fields available will
depend on the installed firmware version.
The battery LCD will revert to normal operation following 10 seconds of
inactivity.
PowerTap® and USB
The Dionic XT Series features an Integrated PowerTap and USB ports on the
side of the battery to power camera accessories.
The PowerTap allows for convenient deployment of up to 10 Amps of DC current
for various parallel devices. The USB port supplies a regulated 5 volts and
maximum 2 amps current and may be used for charging mobile devices.
PowerTap cable available separately
Operation
Charging
Mount any Dionic XT Series battery to any open position on an Anton/Bauer
charger and the charger will automatically determine the appropriate charge
routine and execute it.
In some cases a battery may be discharged to a very low voltage level causing
the battery to be unrecognizable to the charger when first attached.
Three Stage Charging Methodology
In general, Anton/Bauer chargers (Gold Mount and V-Mount) will deliver a three
stage charge routine to each battery.
Anton/Bauer recommends that batteries remain on the charger and plugged into
AC mains power for best results. The Lifesaver mode will keep them 100%
charged.
Stage 1
will deliver a high rate charge matched to the capabilities of the battery
(typically a one or two hour rate, depending on battery type). During this
stage, six separate cutoff methods are in operation, simultaneously, ensuring
the fastest, safest charge for that battery.
Stage 2
charging is a BALANCING or “stabilizing” mode which calculates each battery
pack type to offset any imbalance of the battery’s cells, created by unequal
self-discharge or any capacity mismatch of the individual cells in the pack.
This stage can vary in duration from zero to as much as 16 hours, depending on
the condition of the battery. The Stage Two charge reduces current
automatically as the battery charges maintaining the cells at a safe voltage
level. A battery will typically leave Stage Two in 2-4 hours under average
operating conditions.
Stage 3
charging is the Anton/Bauer exclusive Lifesaver® maintenance mode. This
patented pulse routine keeps batteries fully charged, free from self-
discharge – indefinitely – without damaging heat associated with a so-called
“trickle charge”. The Stage Three programming monitors the selfdischarge of
the battery, providing charge only when the battery self-discharges to about
95% of its capacity.
