Premium Members Jens Piotrowski SOC Posted February 14, 2016 Premium Members Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 http://idxtek.com/products/cue-d75/ I think Anton Bauer made an economic choice, not an engineering one, not to produce a dedicated STEADICAM battery.

Premium Members Victor Lazaro Posted February 14, 2016 Premium Members Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 Switronix Gold 98 are smaller and even work on Anton Bauer chargers. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1087366-REG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Jeff Garton Posted February 15, 2016 Premium Members Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 I got a bunch of Gold 98s once AB could no longer serve my needs for camera and steadicam. Very happy with them. Use them with my existing AB chargers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the Switronix Hypercore Slim 3 Stud battery. 82Wh 10Amp draw, small and at 1.4lbs ! lightweight and compatible with Anton Bauer Charges http://www.switronix.com/products?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=302&category_id=55 http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1212734-REG/switronix_hc7ag_hc_7ag_hypercore_slim_3_stud.html http://www.bhphotovideo.com/images/images1000x1000/switronix_hc7ag_hc_7ag_hypercore_slim_3_stud_1212734.jpg Capacity: 75wh, Nominal 82Wh (14.8V, 5.5 Ah)Size: 3.8 x 5.87" x 1.49"Weight: 1.4 lbs.Normal Runtime: (25W): 3.2Hrs $ 259 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Members Afton Grant Posted February 23, 2016 Premium Members Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 I used these exclusively on a show last summer. The whole camera dept loved them. They'd be a strong contender, if not my choice, when it comes time to replace my dionics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members pauldudeck Posted March 1, 2016 Premium Members Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 Hey Guys, Just wanted to chime in quickly here. The DIONIC HC battery is still being manufactured and will be thru the end of 2016. At that time, you will see something VERY new.....very cool.... Thanks.
