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
