- LED Indicators
-
The TWIN incorporates three LEDs, one Red and two Green. Different LED combinations indicate
- AC line voltage status
- Battery is in the conditioning process
- Current charge stage
- Battery status
- InterActive
- The TWIN incorporates the exclusive InterActive communication between the battery and charger, which allows the charger to identify any Anton Bauer battery attached and determine the precise charge routine for that particular battery under its present condition.
- Three Stage Charging
-
In general, the TWIN utilizes a Three-Stage Charge Routine for each battery.
Stage One
Delivers a high rate charge matched to the batteries capabilities.
Stage Two
Balances or "equalizes" any imbalance of the batteries cells, created by unequal self discharge.
Stage Three
Charging is Anton Bauers exclusive LifeSaver maintenance mode. This patented pulse routine keeps the battery fully charged, free from self-discharge indefinitely without damaging heat associated with a "trickle-charge".

This is my second TWIN 60. It will replace an old Anton Bauer which has been in use for the past 12 years...yes, 12 years.

Comments about Anton Bauer TWIN 60-watt Two Position Portable Quick Charger:
Works just like any other A/B charger... connect battery and walk away. Small form factor and easily portable with no compromise. I love that it's a dual-charger and will charge both batteries simultaneously. It's also a quick-charger but how quick it is compared to others I'm unsure of.
My only dislikes are the lack of a flat bottom (it's rounded and tends to tip or rock a bit, and the supplied IEC power cord is a 90 degree angle which either leaves the power cord pointed down and lifting the whole back of the unit, or sticking up in the air. I just replaced it with a standard straight cord I had lying around.

Comments about Anton Bauer TWIN 60-watt Two Position Portable Quick Charger:
At Georgia Northwestern Technical College we have a very limited budget. Who doesn't in these times! That's why working with the folks at B&H has always paid off. We got a great price which allowed us to stretch our budget farther. Now we no longer have to worry about shooting in the field with batteries that are not as fresh as possible. That's a big deal for any shooter. The Anton Bauer double charger is very exactly what we needed.

Comments about Anton Bauer TWIN 60-watt Two Position Portable Quick Charger:
Anton Bauer...what more can you say? Legendary for reliability....and (over)price. I've been using AB stuff for years but always felt they were overpriced. Always reliable, charges fast, and last long. I guess you get what you pay for.

Comments about Anton Bauer TWIN 60-watt Two Position Portable Quick Charger:
I bought the JVC HD100 when it was first offered with the free anton kit, and ended up buying another battery so that I could have two. Well the problem is, the anton kit only came with a charger/ac adaptor that could charge one battery at a time. And like any good video professional knows, Anton Bauer bats need to live on the charger to be any good... So enter the Twin 60-watt. Its great because its close to the same size as the charger/ac adaptor that came with the kit and that i built a place for in my camera case. So I can simply swap out this charger for that one and be able to twin charge on location. Its great because the life of the batteries are greatly prolonged if they stay on the charger when not in use. The power cable it comes with is a bit annoying though, its a right angle plug where it plugs into the charger, only that give you the choice of either having the cable plunge into the surface the charger is resting on and kink, or point directly up into the air and have to fold over on itself. Other then that I really don't see any drawbacks yet.
