The Anton Bauer Performance Series Quad Charger Gold Mount allocates the most power to the highest-charged battery first and subsequently to the next most charged ones, ensuring that you’ll have a fully charged battery as soon as possible. The process is similar to a champagne glass pyramid where the top-most glass overflows into those below it. The Performance Series is 40% more efficient than previous Anton Bauer chargers by employing faster processing, using a smaller transformer in the power supply, and drawing less amps.

This Gold Mount version supports the concurrently released Digital Battery Series Gold Mount batteries and all previous Anton Bauer models, and it’s capable of simultaneous, multi-chemistry charging. Common to the Anton Bauer name, a feature called InterActivity allows the charger to communicate with an Anton Bauer battery and assign the best charge routine possible based on the battery’s cell chemistry and the best termination algorithm possible (TCO, -ΔV temperature compensated VCO, dT/dt, CCO, FUL, or I-min), ensuring better overall life. A 4-pin XLR output allows you to power your camera right out of the charger via an XLR cable or converter cable. This can be done off of wall power at the same time as charging your batteries or off of attached batteries if the charger is unplugged. The batteries in the latter case are hot swappable so you can power your camera with uninterrupted power.

The charger features a simple-to-use, touchscreen display that provides activity and status updates and access to management functions. It also supports an optional Wi-Fi software feature that will allow you to remotely manage the health and status of one or more Performance Series chargers.
