Anton Bauer battery communication failure with chargers

What the thread found

  • A battery displaying a NO COMM error message on both Quad and Titan chargers may have corrupted firmware in the battery pack itself
  • Ensuring the charger has Firmware version 5.8 or newer may help resolve communication issues with Anton Bauer batteries
  • Cleaning battery contacts does not resolve NO COMM errors caused by corrupted battery firmware
  • Corrupted firmware is a known recurring problem in HC and HCX series battery packs
  • Batteries with corrupted firmware that are still under warranty require factory firmware reset service from Anton Bauer

Depends on

  • The solution applies specifically to Anton Bauer Dionic batteries and their Quad and Titan chargers
  • Only batteries within warranty period can be serviced by Anton Bauer for firmware reset
  • The exact cause of firmware corruption and failure rate across the affected series remains unspecified
  • Other batteries in the same series may continue working normally despite the problem occurring in some units
