BEFORE OPERATION

The InterActive 2000 Dionic 90 battery lithium ion chemistry delivers a

higher power to weight ratio than NiCd & NiMH. However, all lithium

ion batteries have more sensitive charging and discharging parameters and

require longer charge times (2-5 hours). See charging section page 5 for

more details.

The Dionic 90 battery is specifically designed to be charged with

current InterActive or InterActive 2000 chargers. Old model

InterActive MP4D Quad, Lifesaver Dual, ABC800 cannot charge

these batteries.

Do not attempt to charge on non InterActive chargers or chargers not

manufactured by Anton/Bauer.

Special safety circuits in the DIONIC 90 battery will prevent charging

on ANY charger, which cannot properly address the battery

communication.

This DIONIC 90 battery, because of its lithium ion chemistry, is unlike

other video batteries you may have used. Special precautions and handling

instructions are contained in this manual and should be strictly adhered to

for safe and reliable operation. Contact Anton/Bauer Customer Support

at (203) 925-4991 with any questions regarding this product.

INTRODUCTION

The development of this new DIONIC 90 battery system has been made

possible through the incorporation of the pioneering InterActive technology

of the Anton/Bauer Digital system with the very latest lithium ion cell

formulations. Each DIONIC 90 battery features an on-board “fuel

computer” to monitor energy put into and taken out of the battery, as well as

critical operating characteristics and conditions. This data is communicated

to the InterActive charger to optimize safe and reliable performance.

In addition, remaining battery capacity information is available to the

operator by means of a RealTime LCD display on each battery and in the

viewfinder of the most popular broadcast and professional camcorders.

The patented interface from the Digital battery to the camera viewfinder is

factory standard equipment on most camera/camcorder models from the

leading camera manufacturers.

Anton/Bauer InterActive 2000 chargers were designed in anticipation of

new cell technologies, so chargers in the field require only a single chip

update to effectively address this new battery system, as well as the standard

ProPac®, HyTron™, ProFormer®and TrimPac®battery products. This

upward and downward compatibility uniquely allows Anton/Bauer to

introduce new high performance cell technologies, such as DIONIC 90,

safely and seamlessly into existing battery inventories.

The new DIONIC 90 battery will automatically identify itself to the

InterActive 2000 charger, activating the specialized charge routines

necessary to effectively utilize this new technology.

FEATURES

1. Microprocessor Fuel Computer - Accurately monitors the energy in

the battery with programs that take into account battery age, self

discharge, charge/discharge rate, operating conditions and previously

experienced charge/discharge cycles. The DIONIC 90 battery

constantly “learns” its precise state of charge and remaining capacity.

This data is automatically transmitted to an InterActive charger.

2. Integral RealTime ‘LCD’ – This new and exclusive Anton/Bauer

feature displays both the remaining runtime and the percentage of

remaining battery capacity at all times - simultaneously. No special

adapters or set up is required. (see complete explanation page 7-8)

3. Viewfinder Fuel Gauge Display - Cameras which include the

Anton/Bauer InterActive viewfinder feature connect with the DIONIC

90 battery “Fuel Computer” to display an accurate “Fuel Gauge” of

remaining battery capacity in the viewfinder. Reference your

camera/camcorders owner’s manual for proper menu settings.

4. Impac®Case design - High impact case construction protects the cells

from impact that would damage or destroy conventional batteries.

5. Gold Mount®Interface - Patented worldwide standard Gold Mount

connector is compatible with all Anton/Bauer camera mounts and

accessories.

6. Individual Computer Testing – As with all Anton/Bauer batteries,

each and every InterActive 2000 DIONIC 90 battery is individually

tested to assure optimum capacity, voltage and overall quality. A

serialized computer performance graph as confirmation of this testing

is enclosed.

CHARGING DIONIC 90 BATTERIES

• DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CHARGE THIS BATTERY WITH ANY

CHARGER OTHER THAN THE ANTON/BAUER InterActive 2000

OR T SERIES CHARGERS SPECIFIED IN THIS MANUAL.

•Allow the battery to reach a steady green (LifeSaver®) mode before

using for the first time. Please read the individual charger Owner’s

Manual to become acquainted with the many unique operating

features of the chargers.

• The DIONIC 90 battery will be approximately 90% charged when the

LED’s on the charger indicate FLASHING GREEN. The battery is

100% charged when the charger indicates STEADY GREEN. The

Dionic 90 battery may be removed from the charger and discharged in

either condition.

•The Dionic 90 battery can remain on the charger until just prior to

being used. The LifeSaver (STEADY GREEN charger LED indication)

maintenance routine keeps the battery charged and ready for use. If the

battery will not be used for an extended period (more than 60 days) see

“Operating Guidelines” on page 11.

For best results this battery should be used or returned to the InterActive

2000 or T Series charger within 48 hours of being removed from the

charger.

Note: On some older chargers it may be necessary to install battery on

charger, wait one (1) minute, then remove battery and re-install. This

procedure may need to be repeated more than once to “wake up” a low

voltage battery.

Charge time can vary depending on age, condition and remaining capacity

of each battery at the time it is placed on the charger.

The DIONIC 90 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 automatically calculates the load and displays

capacity information and battery status at all times.

Special electronics protect the lithium ion cells in the DIONIC 90 battery

from damage and to ensure safe operation. These electronics work in

conjunction with the Digital Battery electronics and will give the operator

additional indications in the RealTime display of the battery’s status as

outlined below.

- 4th BAR: Indicates 7% - 25%

- INTERACTIVE 96 - 100%

-RES BAR: Indicates 0 - 6%

1. “INTERACTIVE” SEGMENT: When illuminated, it indicates the

DIONIC 90 battery has completed its full charge routine.

2. “RES” Bar: Is the last “Fuel Gauge” Bar and will start to flash at 6%

capacity and will continue to flash until EOD is reached.

3. “SERVICE” SEGMENT: Indicates self-diagnostic functions have

detected anomalies. A battery with a “Service” flag should be returned

to the Anton/Bauer Service Department.

4. “SIDE BAR” SEGMENTS: Will remain ON (see below).

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 fully charged and discharged for

some time, this indication will appear.

To remove the flashing SIDE BARS, fully charge the battery

(STEADY GREEN indication) on the InterActive 2000 charger.

Then either:

(a) Discharge the battery on a camera in normal operation

continuing to keep the camera “hot” until it shuts down. Then

return the battery to the charger. When the battery is full remove

it from the charger.

(b) This can be done automatically with an InterActive2000

PowerCharger with a DDM (Diagnostic Discharge Module

installed. This unique feature is called “AUTOCAL” and is

included as standard on QUAD 2702 and DUAL 2722

PowerChargers. (Please reference the appropriate PowerCharger

Owner’s Manual.)

IMPORTANT NOTE: The flashing SIDE BARS indication is not a

warning indication. The battery will operate perfectly normal while

awaiting a “learning” cycle. Rather than relying on an “assumed”

capacity, as with some imitation fuel gauges, the DIONIC 90 battery

relies on the Digital Battery electronics to update capacity

information as the battery sees different operating conditions and

ages normally. The flashing bars are merely an indication that the

battery has not updated this information for some time and is

requesting a confirmation of its “learned” capacity.
