Anton Bauer makes professional camera batteries, chargers and power accessories used across film, broadcast and video production. The range runs from tiny on-camera bricks to floor batteries that power a whole rig off-grid. This guide explains the battery families, the mount standards (Gold Mount, V-Mount and B-Mount), the high-voltage 26V line, chargers and brackets, so you can power your camera the right way. For choosing a specific battery, see our Anton Bauer battery buying guide.

Two numbers that define a battery: watt-hours and voltage

Watt-hours (Wh) is the fuel tank, how much energy the battery holds, and roughly how long it runs your rig. Anton Bauer names most batteries by their capacity (a Titon 150 is ~150 Wh). Voltage is how that energy is delivered: most cameras run on 14.4V, but high-draw cinema cameras like the ARRI Alexa 35 need 26V to avoid pulling dangerously high current. More on that below.

The battery families

Titon Micro, small on-camera power

The lightest bricks, in 90 Wh and 45/150 Wh sizes, in Gold Mount and V-Mount. Ideal for compact mirrorless and small cine builds where weight matters. Charge them on the compact GM4 / VM4 four-position micro chargers.

Titon, the everyday battery

The mainstream Li-ion line in 90, 150 and 240 Wh, Gold or V-Mount. A great all-round choice for documentary, event and cine cameras that run on 14.4V.

Titon Base, power your mirrorless

The Titon Base is a small battery that powers a mirrorless or DSLR through a camera-specific dummy-battery cable, giving far longer runtimes than the camera's own cells. Kits are available for Sony, Canon, Nikon, Panasonic, Fujifilm, RED and Blackmagic, for example the Sony NP-FZ100 kit.

Dionic XT, the hard-working standard

The Dionic XT 90 and 150 (Gold or V-Mount) are rugged 14.4V workhorses built for demanding ENG and cine use.

Dionic 26V, high-voltage for modern cinema

The Dionic 26V 98 and 240 are native 26V batteries (Gold Mount Plus, with B-Mount versions) built for high-draw cameras like the ARRI Alexa 35. Anton Bauer even offers complete Alexa 35 starter kits.

VCLX and EDEN, block and mains power

For off-grid and whole-rig power, the VCLX LI 1600Wh and CINE VCLX NM2 floor batteries deliver multiple simultaneous outputs, while the EDEN 2.5 kWh is a portable AC power station for running mains gear on location.

Mount standards: Gold Mount, V-Mount and B-Mount

Gold Mount (three-pin stud) and V-Mount (wedge) are the two long-standing standards, functionally similar, so most crews simply standardise on whichever their cameras and accessories already use. Gold Mount Plus adds 26V support while still accepting 14.4V packs, so it prevents a 26V battery powering a 14.4V camera by mistake. B-Mount is the newer high-power standard engineered for cameras like the Alexa 35, with direct battery-to-camera communication. Need to run a 14V accessory off a 26V system? A 26V-to-14V converter bridges the two.

Chargers

Match the charger to your mount and how many batteries you cycle. The Performance Quad and QUAD 6A chargers handle four batteries at once for busy productions; the compact GM2 / VM2 dual chargers suit smaller kits; and the P-Tap charger tops up on the go.

Brackets and accessories

Anton Bauer also makes the brackets that get power onto your camera, D-Box brackets for cameras like Sony Venice and Canon C700, Gold Mount and V-Mount plates, battery belts, and rod-mount cheese plates, so you can build a clean, balanced power setup around any rig.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between Gold Mount and V-Mount?

They're two professional battery-mount standards, Gold Mount uses three pins on a stud, V-Mount uses a wedge. Functionally they're very similar, so most crews choose whichever matches the cameras and accessories they already own and standardise on it.

Why do some cameras need 26V batteries?

High-draw cinema cameras like the ARRI Alexa 35 pull a lot of power. At 14.4V that means very high current, which creates heat and stresses the battery; at 26V the same power draws roughly half the current, running cooler and more efficiently. That's why Anton Bauer offers native 26V Dionic batteries in Gold Mount Plus and B-Mount.

What does watt-hours (Wh) mean for runtime?

Watt-hours measure how much energy a battery holds. Divide the Wh by your rig's power draw in watts for a rough runtime in hours, a 150 Wh battery running a 50 W setup lasts around three hours. Higher Wh means longer runtime and more weight.

Can I power a mirrorless camera with Anton Bauer?

Yes, the Titon Base connects to a mirrorless or DSLR through a camera-specific dummy-battery cable, giving much longer runtimes than the camera's internal battery. Kits are available for most Sony, Canon, Nikon, Panasonic, Fujifilm, RED and Blackmagic bodies.
