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 before fully 
discharging the battery, leaving 50% of the total capacity unused under 
certain conditions.  The amount of this wasted capacity can vary each day 
depending on temperature, etc., thus creating what appears to be totally 
inconsistent performance. 
 
The InterActive 2000 HyTRON battery is designed only in a 14.4 volt 
configuration with full discharge rating of 12 volts.  Thus, the HyTRON 
battery will always deliver 100% capacity before the equipment ever 
reaches its cutoff point.  Moreover, this dependability is not affected by 
memory, age or any of the other factors that can cripple a 12 volt battery. 
 
Virtually all cameras, camcorders, and other video field equipment 
specifies a maximum voltage of 17 volts.  The 14.4 volt HyTRON battery 
will provide superior performance and greater run time on that equipment.  
CAUTION:  Certain older equipment is not designed to accept 14.4 
volt batteries.  A 14.4 volt battery could damage such equipment.  
Check with the equipment manufacturer or the Anton/Bauer 
Customer Support Group prior to using a 14.4 volt battery.
