Gold Mount Battery Charger Compatibility

[Kenneth C Merrill]

I'm planning to purchase a new set of batteries here in the next couple of weeks, but I am wondering about charger compatibility. I'm hoping to get some SWIT 92 + 92 batteries, but the SWIT 4-channel charger is only sequential I believe. I definitely want a simultaneous charger. Could I purchase, say, an Ikan 4-channel charger instead?

I ask because I'm given to understand that some Anton Bauer chargers do not charge other types of batteries. I could be wrong though?

Hey Kenneth, yeah AB charges don't charge anything else than AB batteries and vice verse. As far as I know there is some circuitry in both that makes them incompatible with any other brand.
I personally use BCB chargers, they are simultaneous (double or quad), and so far worked with Beillen and Rolux batteries as well. Didn't try them with SWIT though.
