Anton Bauer Lifesaver Dual Fast Charger design variants and battery compatibility
16 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.
What the thread found
- The Anton Bauer Lifesaver Dual Fast Charger was manufactured with both angled and flat face designs.
- Early Anton Bauer chargers have serial numbers with 3, 4, or 5 digits.
- The Lifesaver Dual charger is not compatible with Dionic series batteries even when not upgraded.
- A DDM module upgrade chip can enable the angled-faced Dual charger to charge Dionic and Hytron batteries.
- The flat-faced model's upgradeability for Dionic batteries requires verification with the manufacturer.
- The Lifesaver Q2 charger is an older model that cannot be upgraded for Dionic battery compatibility but works with ProPacs, Trimpacs, and HyTron batteries.
Depends on
