Operation
WARNING! Special precautions and handling instructions are contained in
this user guide and should be strictly adhered to for safe and reliable
operation.
WARNING! Never use flammable or combustible materials and solvents around
batteries or chargers.
CAUTION! The product should not be used outside the operating temperature
limits.
Refer to the product technical specifications for the operating limits for the
product.
WARNING! Protect the product from water, moisture and dust. The presence
of electricity near water can be dangerous.
WARNING! When cleaning the product, Use a soft damp cloth only. Do not
wet the exposed metal parts of the battery. Do not use solvents, detergents or
scouring agents.
CAUTION! All Lithium-ion batteries have a finite life. If the battery
exhibits noticeably shortened run-time the battery should be replaced
immediately. Shortened run-time is indicative of at least one cell, which has
reached end of life. Under no Circumstances attempt to ‘recondition” this
battery by repeated charging and discharging.
WARNING! This battery contains specialized electronic circuits, which are
designed to protect the Lithium-ion cells from overcharge, over discharge and
overcurrent Redundant protection devices are designed to operateif the battery
voltage is abnormally high or low and if the temperature of the battery
exceeds operating specifications.
WARNING! Do not drop, puncture or crush this battery. Do not use the
battery if the case is damaged or broken. Do not open or attempt to service
this battery if damaged
WARNING! These electronic devices can be damaged if the battery is
subject to abuse or damage. Do not use a battery that has been subjected to
excessive mechanical shock or water damage.
Maintenance
WARNING! The fitting of non-approved parts or accessories, or the
carrying out of non-approved alterations or servicing can be dangerous and
could affect the safety of the product. It may also invalidate the terms and
conditions of the product warranty.
WARNING! RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK: Never attempt to service this battery.
Refer servicing to qualified service personnel
WARNING! Never attempt to open this battery. The electronic circuits
inside the battery can be damaged causing malfunction and/or potential hazard
to person and property.
WARNING! Never attempt to replace the cells in this battery – it cannot
be rebuilt or refurbished. At the end of its useful life contact the
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. Examples 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-lon 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 toa
discharge/charge cycle from time to time during storage.
Air Transportation Regulation
- US Code of Federal Regulations Title 49 Subtitle B.
- International Air Transport Associations (IATA) Dangerous Goods Regulation (DGR).
- International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) regulations apply to all Lithium-lon battery transport.
Air Transportation Declaration
Vitec Production Solutions, declares that the Anton/Bauer Titon Lithium-lon
battery packs contain equivalent Lithium content (ELC) in a quanity exceeding
8 grams and therefore is considered and must be handled and transported as a
class 9 Hazardous article and is subject to regulation under Dangerous Good
Regulations.
49CFR PARTS 100-185
Since the interpretation and application of regulations may vary with the
aviation company, the transport of the Anton/Bauer Titon Series battery may be
disallowed even when the conditions described above are satisfied. Anton/Bauer
therefore strongly recommends that you consult with your transportation
company prior to transporting the battery pack.

Components and Connections
Titon Series LCD
Every Titon 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 the battery is powering an item (a l0ad is applied), the LCD will dispaly remaining run-time in Hours/Minutes.
PowerTap® and USB
The Titon 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.
Operation
Charging
Mount any Titon 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 seff-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
selfdischarge – indefinitely – without damaging heat associated with a so-
called “trickle charge”. The Stage Three programming monitors the self-
discharge of the battery, providing charge only when the battery self-
discharges to about 95% of its capacity.
