Anton Bauer v-mount Cine 90 on RED Brick Charger charging very slow if at all

[Jeffrey Wright]

Hi Guys,

I randomly won 2 Anton Bauer Cine 90's in a contest. My original plan was to sell them but didn't get much action on Ebay. I liked the idea of supplementing my RED Bricks with some sub 100wh batteries for air travel so I opened one up and threw it on my brick charger. It charged but probably took about 4x as long as RED Brick and one time it seemed to hang up on 59%.

Any way of assuring a full charge?

I was looking at these batteries as a bonus so I don't want to spend $800 for a charger.

I understand that the chargers communicate with the batteries but how do I know that they are compatible (other than using a $$$ AB charger)?

Is there a budget 3rd party charger that will bring them to a quick full charge?


This would be ideal but it seems as if it would be about as risky as it gets

(easy to carry on the plane and if my RED Brick charger that is in checked luggage didn't arrive I could have a backup)


Thanks!

I would only use AB chargers for AB batteries. However that travel charger will charge the battery fine.
