Recelled Anton Bauer Proformer battery not recognized by chargers
20 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.
What the thread found
- A recelled battery that stops being recognized by chargers may have an internal wire connection failure or a blown fuse protecting that connection.
- The Proformer battery contains a Sanyo N1900CSR cell, a small resistor, and a thermal harness with three thermal sensors in series.
- Internal wire breaks can occur inside the insulation casing of recelled batteries.
- Thermal sensors within the battery can fail and prevent charger recognition.
- The Proformer does not have an external fuse on the Gold Mount like some other Anton Bauer models, making internal inspection necessary for troubleshooting.
- Opening the battery case to inspect internal components will void any remaining warranty.
- Contact the manufacturer directly for analysis of non-responsive batteries, though they may decline service on previously recelled units.
Depends on
- This discussion involves a specific model from 2006 and may not apply to current Anton Bauer battery designs.
- No definitive resolution was provided in the thread for the original problem.
- Recelled batteries may be refused service by the original manufacturer.
- Opening the case requires technical knowledge and voids warranties.
