A Full Disclosure Web Site: THIS AND BATTERY LINKS FROM THIS SITE ARE THE ONLY WEB SITES FOR RATHBONE BROADCAST BATTERIES!                                    

We grew dissatisfied with continued increases in the expenses to show at NAB in 2007.  Despite NAB brags of increased visitors our views of traffic throughout the floor show a visible reduction in floor traffic.  To continue offering the best quality in battery product at the lowest possible price we have elected not to waste our budget on NAB and pass the savings on to our valuable clients.

When shopping remember real specifications:

Engineering specification sheets spec Ni-Cd battery cells at 1.25V per cell.

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 = 72WH

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.

These inserts and the Recell service for ProPac Digital battery packs are direct replacements, exceeding industry standard cell packs and are built with the specified 5.5AH (@C\1) rate cells.

We Do NOT use third world or brand name low end "economical" cells.  We are using the very best  nickel cadmium battery cells available, (exceeding industry standards) and High-Tech Plastic Welders.

Battery Cell:  cell specifications.
