Thank you for visiting us at NAB2007
Booth #: C10621 but after many consecutive years of Extreme NAB expense,
dissatisfaction, and despite NAB brags of increased visitors, a visible
reduction in floor traffic, we have decided to forgo NAB Hype enabling
use to continue keeping your price for our battery packs using only the
very best LG Chem, Panasonic, and Sanyo battery cells and quality at
less than half the prices of Anton Bauer, IDX, Sony, and Red One, not to
mention generic brands.

Rathbone Broadcast Batteries Replacement for Rebuild
Service and Upgrade of Your
Dead Anton Bauer
Batteries Dionic 90 Rebuilt to 104WH and under 8.5 grams of lithium.
Yes We Can!
Why you should choose Rathbone Broadcast
Batteries, LLC., a true
and professional battery assembler to
service your valuable Anton Bauer Batteries and other equipment is in the
details. But, have you considered
Upgrading to
Rathbone Broadcast Lithium Ion Batteries?
For your reference, below
are the details of how Rathbone did professionally rebuild your Anton Bauer
Battery product before we decided that rebuilding a Dionic 90, HC,HCX, or 160 Series
battery was just a bad idea and they are not worth the trouble. So we
went forward with our own line of Rathbone broadcast lithium ion batteries.
Rathbone Broadcast Batteries, LLC., is a
Battery Assembler and Rathbone Broadcast lithium ion V
mount and Gold mount battery packs and chargers are equal to or exceed
Anton Bauer Batteries, Dionic Batteries, IDX Endura Batteries V Mount, Sony V
Mount, and VariZoom Lithium Ion Battery Packs and are a Lithium Ion
Battery Value.
Yes Chinese
battery cells are really cheap, like .70 per cell x 12 cells. No
matter what propaganda you read by someone pretending to be a client of a
fly by who says they have bought recelled Dionic 90 or 160 from their fly by buddy
using a Chinese battery cell, you should consider who actually wrote the
praise and remember, the Chinese cells work for a little while and always
with a consistently degrading performance, around 200 degrading discharge
cycles, and leakage. The only person who would not notice the
difference is an amateur photographer or amateur battery insert installer.
We are a real battery assembler, we know.
RATHBONE REBUILD DETAILS FOR REFERENCE: Rebuild
of fine Anton Bauer batteries or other broadcast news, cinema, film
or video batteries after they have died is our specialty,
including those of defunct companies who frequently close their doors
and then open again
under the same or another name. When your livelihood depends on your batteries you don't settle for second
best.

Series, and Dionic battery packs to verify proper operation of the completed
battery, on the chargers they were designed for, before we place the
enclosure back together.

The Best Rebuild Value for Your Dead Anton Bauer Digital Dionic 90 Lithium Ion
Battery is with Our
Best 104WH
Panasonic / Moli CGR18650A Lithium Ion battery cell pack. Each cell is equivalent and
meets or exceeds
OEM specifications.
We will NOT build an Economy version of a lithium ion battery pack.
Premium Rebuild of Dead Anton Bauer Digital
Dionic 90:
RE-14P7ABD90LiR
Description:
14.4V 7.2AH
104WH, 12,
Panasonic / Moli CGR18650A, 3.6V 2.4AH Lithium Ion cells, (4 sets of 3
cells), 2x1x6 Nested configuration, series-parallel circuit,
manufacturers brand labeled PVC shrink, heat shrink weld tabs, fiber
top and bottom insulators. Charge discharge cycles are 500 full
charge discharge cycles. Regulations allow up to a 10%
increase in amperage on an exist design. This cell is within that
10%.
If after
being rebuilt your Dionic 90 does not pass the test of an Anton Bauer
InterActive 2702 with DDM you should know...
That the insert will be
removed from your shell.
That we will not proceed
further with that shell.
At your
request your empty case and defective components will be returned to
you.
Our experience is that greater than 60%
fail the 2702 test, and we are very good.
IMPORTANT: Another difference between a Professional and an Amateur:
It has been our
experience with these particular batteries that after all the above
checks are carefully finished, still, a large percentage of these
batteries, estimated at >60%,
do NOT pass
the AB2707 with DDM Test's because they came in
with internal circuit board damage that can only be discovered after a
new insert is installed and we loose all the time consuming labor.
We have streamlined the internal circuitry of
our batteries and they to have built in protection circuitry to
ensure the highest degree of safety operation. They are
STILL Lithium Ion.
By streamlining our batteries circuits we remove
unnecessary components that might be used to force someone's
battery to only work with one brand charger.
Unnecessary components that have nothing to
do with the safety of the battery only increase the chance that
the battery will fail prematurely because of unnecessary
components being damaged when a battery is jolted or dropped.
When your livelihood depends
on your batteries don't settle for second best.
Once a Professional client understands the
difference between our Premium Rebuild and come and go competitor alternative
recell/refill they completely drop interest in alternate recell options.
A professional
understands that when your livelihood depends on your batteries you don't settle for second
best or worse in knowledge, product quality, or by use of consumer grade cells
and short cuts,. However, we can spend your money as well as the
amateur but WE WILL TELL YOU UP FRONT, IN BLACK AND WHITE, what you are
really getting for your dollar.
