Single Battery AB Charger

[Abraham Williams]

Aloha,

I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with single battery AB chargers, and if so what have you used? I'm looking for something to backup my AB quad charger. I've only seen the D-tap style chargers for batteries with d-tap connection:

Not sure if using something cheaper like this is damaging to batteries. I have the AB Digital 90s.

 

If anyone has used any solutions like this I'd love to know!

 

Thank you for your time.

Hi Abraham,

 

If you have some cash, you might consider Anton Bauer's travel chargers..

 

AB Twin 60

A two position charger, that's small and light weight. I think it's a tandem charger as well, meaning it can heat up two batts at once...but don't quote me on that. I know that it chargers slower than a 4-top, but it makes up for it in size...it's about the size of a dionic HC. Also, if your concerned about damaging your batteries, since this an AB product, this charger talks to AB batteries, and is supposed to be able to determine the best charge routine for them.

It's pricey, but it's also an AC adapter for cameras that use up to 70 watts...which doesn't do you any good if you're running an Alexa, per se, but still...also, if your concerned about damaging your batteries, this charger talks to AB batteries, and is supposed to be able to determine the best charge routine for them.

 

Don't know if these would work for you, but hope this helps!
