IMPORTANT The CINE VCLX/2 Battery can only be charged with the CINE VCLX/2 or a CINE VCLX charger. DO NOT attempt to charge this battery with any other charger. The CINE VCLX/2 battery represents the latest in battery technology. Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) is similar to NiCad batteries in most character- istics. However, NiMH has more sensitive charging and discharging parameters and requires a longer charge time for optimum performance. The charge time is approximately 3 hours with the CINE VCLX/2 charger or 7 ½ hours with the CINE VCLX charger. INTRODUCTION The development of the CINE VCLX/2 battery system has been made possible by advancements in a cell technology. These nickel metal hydride cells provide the highest energy density cell available. The high performance of the new batteries is assured through the incorporation of the pioneering InterActive technology of the Anton/Bauer Digital system. The battery is equipped with an on board “fuel computer” which monitors energy put into and taken out of each battery, as well as critical operating characteristics and conditions. This data is communicated to the InterActive charger to ensure safe and optimize reliable performance. In addition, remaining battery capacity information is available to the operator by means of the RealTime™ LCD display on the battery. This battery surpasses the traditional “block battery”, which is the most common battery used to power film cameras, by having an extraor- dinary power rating of 280 watt hours or 19 ampere hours. The simultaneous 28v (regulated) and 14.4v (nominal) outputs allows powering of multiple pieces of equipment at the same time. Also, a regulated 28v output allows you to power virtually any film camera from a MovieCam to an ARRI 435.

Charging is automatic. The flash- ing red and green lights indicate the charger and battery are establishing communications. Simply plug the 19p LEMO connector from the CS-GBC cable into the charger and then plug the other end (19p LEMO connector) into the battery. Note: it is recommended that the charger first be plugged into AC mains and then attach the battery for charging.
