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.

Rebuilding of Dead Anton Bauer Batteries, Proformer
Why you should choose Rathbone Broadcast
Batteries 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Battery product before we decided that rebuilding aProformer Series nickel cadmium battery is now an outdated idea and with
no quality nickel cadmium battery cells available for pack assembly plus the
fact that we cannot promote an environmentally friendly footprint if we supply them,
rebuilding them with available options is an injustice to the end user and
the world. So we went forward with our own replacement line of
Rathbone broadcast lithium ion batteries.
See how it should be done while the page is still up and
you have a reference from a professional battery pack assembler.
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.
The "BEST AVAILABLE" Battery Cell
from LG Chem, Panasonic, Sanyo.:
Nickel Cadmium: 500 Discharge Cycles, But no longer
available except in lower grade Chinese cells, and environmentally unfriendly
Nickel Metal Hydride: 500 Discharge Cycles, But no longer
available except in lower grade Chinese cells
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 Proformers 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.

Unlike smart chargers, Cadex and PAG analyzers do NOT require
any digital circuitry to analyze and properly charger your
batteries.

Anton Bauer Logic or Hytron series batteries the battery inserts may still
be good and there is a cost saving resolution. Call for details.

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,

Our Cell: Sanyo

Cell Specs Less cells are not used by us in our premium package.
Engineering Spec examples verses marketing:
Engineering
specification sheets spec Ni-Cd battery cells at 1.25V per cell.
A 14.4V 65WH battery is: 1.25V x 12 cells = 15.0V x 4.0AH =
65WH
This is the same battery as: 1.2V x 12 cells = 14.4V x 4.0AH
= 60WH
A 14.4V 75WH battery is: 1.25V x 12 cells = 15.0V x 5.0AH =
75WH
This is the same battery as: 1.2V x 12 cells = 14.4V x 5.0AH
= 72WH
