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.

Nickel Cadmium battery cells are environmentally unfriendly. Thanks to International Environmental Concerns and the good laws of other countries, our battery cell manufacturers have already started to phase nickel cadmium from their manufacturing lines.  Panasonic did so three years ago. Being an Environmentally Conscious Company, and Now having our own line of broadcast battery packs, Rathbone Energy is now phasing nickel cadmium out as well and expects to be finished by 2010, no longer supporting the rebuild of Anton Bauer products.  Being the only Battery Assembler Worldwide that supports rebuilding battery packs, we understand that this will create a hardship on those invested in Anton Bauer nickel cadmium but offer a great alternative.

We Do NOT use third world or brand name low end "economical" cells for our premium inserts and rebuilds. We are using the very best nickel cadmium battery cells available, (exceeding industry standards)

Battery Cell specifications.
