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 Rebuild Service and Upgrade for Your
Dead Anton Bauer Batteries , Logic Digital ProPac's, Yes we can!
Why you should choose Rathbone Broadcast
Batteries 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Battery product before we decided that rebuilding aDigital ProPac Series nickel cadmium battery is now an outdated idea and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 and environmentally unfriendly
Nickel Metal Hydride: 500 Discharge Cycles, But no longer
available
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 Digital ProPac 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.
Premium rebuild
Descriptions and pricing. Phase out of ALL Nickel
Cadmium by 2010.
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.
We have a Premium Battery rebuilding Service and an Economy "Sack and Save"
Recell or Refill Service, each listed below in detailed black and
white facts.
When your livelihood depends on your batteries don't settle for second
best.
First the picture story, followed by a
detailed description and "no gimmick" pricing in black and white
for our premium service.
Some pictures may be enlarged with a
click for a cleaner picture. Hoover 3 seconds to read picture text information.
Premium Service
OPENING
THE CASE: Original
Logic ProPac with Glass Fuse. No amateur opening your case
improperly and also butchering your wiring harness then twisting the wires
back together. No band saws and bonding - glue. Several
important but none listed workmanship services are done at this point in our
premium service.
BATTERY INSERT COMPONENTS, CELLS, AND PROFESSIONAL PACKAGING OF OUR
PREMIUM SERVICE: The same insert
is used in Logic Digital, Original Non-Digital Logic ProPac and Newer
Non-Digital Logic ProPac. Digital=LCD Screen; Non-Digital=No LCD
screen. No amateur work here either. We specify the exact
cells used in black and white on the description and invoice.
WELD SEAM ON A PREMIUM REBUILD: Original
Logic ProPac Digital or Non-Digital after our Professional Welding Seam
securing the case and allowing it to be rebuilt over and over. Amateur's
and fly by night companies use "Bonding" which is glue and tape that will
break and also ruins the case.
Either Logic Non-Digital ProPac or Logic
Digital ProPac after closing the case shown with new back plate cover which
includes Your logo and phone number and is included in the price.
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: FINAL
TEST USED ON OUR PREMIUM REBUILDS: Our professional procedure and price also requires that All Logic
ProPac Digital, Non-Digital, and Hytron 100, Hytron 120, and Hytron 140 recells are tested on Anton Bauer 2702's w/DDM before
adding enclosure. We stand alone in professional quality rebuilding. As shown below, PAG ACS analyzers supply excellent
charge and maintenance to Your units and do not require communication with
the internal temperature sensors of AB batteries. Click to enlarge.
First picture is one of our Anton Bauer 2702 with DDM testing stations,
testing, autocal, and charging
different rebuilt Anton Bauer ProPac Logic, Digital ProPac Logic, Hytron 100
Series battery packs to verify proper operation of the completed battery, on
the chargers they were designed for, before we place the enclosure back
together for our professional welding technique.
This picture is a PAG Pulsar with same type batteries doing a
full diagnostic, discharge, charge, balance, and a recovery program, then to
a stand by status.
Unlike smart chargers, Cadex and PAG analyzers do NOT require
any digital circuitry to analyze and properly charger your
batteries.
If your Anton Bauer Interactive chargers no longer recognize particular
Anton Bauer Logic or Hytron series batteries the battery inserts may still
be good and there is a cost saving resolution. Call for details.
Four our safety and yours, expedient turn around, and quality work, sales
staff are NOT allowed to interrupt technicians in assembly.
Premium rebuild
followed by Economy Recell Descriptions and pricing. Phased out of ALL Nickel
Cadmium.
PREMIUM REBUILDING PACKAGE

The final test is with Anton
Bauer Quad 2702 IntelliCharger's with DDM before
adding enclosure. If your battery or batteries do not pass these test
they are not welded back together and do not leave this building.
We note the final results of each battery on our paperwork.
Once a Professional client understands
the difference between our Premium Rebuild and competitor alternative
recell/refills below they completely drop interest in the Economy
option.
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.
ECONOMY PACKAGE - "Sack and Save" Competitive RECELL / REFILL SERVICE
started in 2008 and stopped in 2008. An equivalent to
your alternate source that refills.
Chinese, Third World, Toshiba, Energizer, or other Consumer Grade Cells
Are Used. You will not find our name on this one!
When shopping remember real specifications:
(Click this line to expand)
150
WH, 500-700 CD.
Engineering spec: 1.25V x 12 cells = 15.0V x 10AH = 150WH
Engineering Spec examples verses marketing:
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
= 72W
We did not create this confusion. But we give our best
effort to keep you in the circle with up to date and accurate
information, formulas and tools for your decision making process.
We Do NOT use Chinese, third world, Toshiba, Energizer Consumer grade or brand name low end "economical"
cells in our Premium packages. We are using the very best nickel metal hydride battery cells available, (exceeding industry
standards) and High-Tech Plastic Welders.
Order Procedure, Opening, Building, Installing, Closing, and Welding:
If you are rough on your battery packs this new plastic welding technique is
for you. At Rathbone Energy our professional opening, closing, and
welding technique is a multipart
process.
