FAQs

Can I charge non-Anton Bauer batteries with the LP4?

No, the LP4 is specifically designed for Anton Bauer Gold-Mount batteries only.

Does the LP4 charge all types of Anton Bauer Gold-Mount batteries?

Yes, it supports multi-chemistry charging, including older NiCd/NiMH and newer Li-Ion Digital Battery Series.

How does the 'priority-based' charging work?

The charger automatically identifies the battery with the highest charge level and dedicates more power to it to bring it to full charge fastest, ensuring you always have at least one ready battery.

Is the LP4 portable?

Yes, its low-profile and stackable design makes it highly portable and easy to store in equipment cases.

What is the main advantage of the 'green' charging algorithm?

The 'green' algorithm is nearly 40% more efficient than traditional chargers, meaning it uses less energy to charge batteries, saving costs and reducing power consumption.

How should I clean the charger?

Wipe the exterior with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Ensure charging contacts are clean using a dry cloth or appropriate contact cleaner.

Can I leave batteries in the charger when they are fully charged?

The LP4 is designed for efficient charging, but it is generally recommended to remove fully charged batteries to prolong their lifespan, although the charger's efficiency minimizes trickle charge issues.
