age with nearly zero capacity loss. To “awaken” the battery for normal use, users need only move the battery, activating the motion-detection feature, which significantly increases the overall life of the battery by mitigating lithium-ion battery selfdischarge. Anton/Bauer also plans to integrate the HCX with the Anton/Bauer Battery Management System, which will allow users to program the inactivity time length prior to the battery going to sleep. “We’ve spent many years innovating new, powerful and advanced solutions for our customers, so it’s no surprise that we’re debuting one of our most exciting product developments during our 40th-anniversary year,” says Michael Accardi, president of Anton/Bauer. “With the addition of the Dionic HCX, we now have more solutions than ever for our customers, across many different battery chemistries. Whether our users are looking for a powerful NiCad, lithium-ion or nickel metal hydride solution, they know they can count on us to equip them with the best solutions for their needs, and that we’ll be there to help them make the smartest choice.” Weighing 2.4 pounds and measuring 5.47"x4.06"x3", the Dionic HCX is capable of withstanding high instantaneous current draws in addition to 10-amp sustained current draws. The Dionic HCX can power a 40-watt camera with a 20-watt light for over two hours. The battery also offers an enhanced LCD RealTime fuel gauge, allowing users to quickly and easily check their run time, with the display showing up to nine hours of run time when used under low-power load conditions. The new LCD display clearly indicates remaining run time and battery capacity, showing the number of hours available with a seven-segment display surrounded by arcs indicating 15minute intervals. A battery “gas gauge” indicator also shows remaining capacity in 20-percent intervals underneath the remaining run-time indicators. The Dionic HCX registers under the 160-watt capacity prohibited for air travel, allowing users to bring up to two HCX batteries on board both domestic and international airlines.
