M2 PRESSWIRE-4 August 1999-VINTEN: First quantity batch of new Anton/Bauer HyTron 100 high power NiMH batteries ordered by Top-Teks from Vinten Broadcast (C)1994-99 M2 COMMUNICATIONS LTD
The first quantity batch available in Europe of the new Anton/Bauer high power HyTron 100 NiMH battery has been ordered by leading broadcast support company Top-Teks Limited from UK/Ireland distributor Vinten.
The hydride cells of the 14.4 volt, 100 watt-hour HyTron 100 not only provide the highest energy density per unit volume available, but have been specifically designed to meet the exacting demands of high discharge rate applications such as ballast lighting. In its more usual broadcast and professional roles the HyTron 100 will run a typical camcorder at 25 watts consumption for as much as 4 hours.
Said Top-Teks Sales Director, Mike Thomas: "The HyTron 100 has clearly filled a gap in the market for a reasonably priced, high capacity battery to meet the increasing power requirements of today's advanced camcorder systems. The high performance and reliability of the HyTron 100, plus its designed-in suitability for high discharge rate applications, make it "a must" for assignments where the number of batteries carried has to be kept to a minimum. We have already supplied the HyTron 100 to two of our major customers as well as to several freelance operators".
The HyTron 100 is ideal for use with its companion HyTron 50 operating as the "run and shoot" battery, to provide an extremely versatile Power package offering the advantages of high capacity combined with compact design and low weight.
"The HyTron 100 cells are the first of the "new technology" cells designed to meet the special needs of high rate discharge equipment, such as power tools and electric vehicles", said Gerry Brown, Anton/Bauer's Technical Marketing Manager (Europe). "They are capable of operating at rates of up to 4C or more - although the HyTron 100 is fused protected at 12 amps for compatibility with other equipment".
