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.

The Company
Rathbone Broadcast Batteries, LLC., is an Environmentally
Conscious Company striving to stay Green since 1989.
Some may promote themselves as
environmentally conscious and friendly but You cannot use nickel cadmium
battery cells and be green, environmentally conscious, environmentally friendly,
or really have a positive carbon footprint.
Recycling Efforts Below, Our Life Style
Products
Batteries
In 1989 Ron L. Rathbone began rebuilding battery packs and
reusing all the internal components possible such as insulators and
paper tubes. Because Rathbone Broadcast Batteries
rebuilds using the very best battery cells available and enhance the
original equipment manufacturers design we were able to take an intended
maximum battery pack life and make it a true carbon footprint by giving
you more discharge cycles and allowing you to continuously rebuild that
same battery case over and over until you have worn out the battery
shell. This was even more important when the primary battery
cell technology was nickel cadmium.
Today Rathbone Broadcast Batteries no longer supports
the manufacture of battery pack assembly, inserts, or rebuilding using
nickel cadmium battery cells. Today facilities are available to
recycle not just the battery cells but also your plastic cases and
internal electronic components.
Now having our own line of lithium ion
broadcast battery packs, Rathbone Broadcast Batteries has phased out battery assembly
and also battery rebuilding using nickel cadmium, no longer supporting
the rebuild of Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) nickel cadmium
battery products. Being the only Battery Assembler
Worldwide that supports rebuilding battery packs, we understand that this
will create a hardship on those invested in nickel cadmium products but we offer
our Upgrade and great
alternative.
Battery Analyzers
As for charging technology, Rathbone Broadcast Batteries has always focused our
efforts not on sophisticated smart chargers for multiple battery cell
chemistry's and designed to force the consumer into a monopoly, but on
true analyzers that are upgradeable on the fly, interchangeable mounting
systems, and applicable for many battery cell chemistries including Dry
Cell Lead Acid, Nickel Cadmium, Nickel Metal Hydride, Rechargeable
Lithium Ion, and future changes in those chemistry's as well as future
battery cell technology. In 2007 we applied our knowledge to a
partnership that is now the standard for security areas we cannot
advertise.
We have always promoted recycling by
promoting rebuilding your battery packs reusing the insulator washers
and paper tubes insulators and re-welding the plastic cases back
together.
Packing and Shipping
Rathbone Broadcast Batteries have never used Styrofoam containers
for packaging or shipping.
1993: Ron L. Rathbone replaced paper mailers and
promotional flyers with 3.5" Disk. We have run seven business card
size magazine ads since that time and will run no more.
Later in 1993: Ron L. Rathbone went to the Internet and
stopped generating 3.5" Disk, flyers and mailers by 100%..
2007: Ron L. Rathbone began generating PDF files of
sales orders, invoices, and shipping labels and using email rather than
a printer so that the client has his/her paperwork in a PDF file on
his/her computer instead of a dead tree, paper, and toner.
Basic Recycling
Rathbone Broadcast Batteries has always recycled aluminum cans,
brochures, cardboard, computer equipment, glass, light bulbs,
newspapers, plastic bottles, and a never ending list in a throw away
society. Being "Environmentally Conscious" and "Please Recycle"
have always been on our products, containers, all the way back to the
days of rubber stamps.
Energy Conservation
Rathbone Broadcast Batteries is now in our replacement building.
We do not own the building but are working towards making it a
historical site and watching for grant money to make the facility green.
At the moment it is definitely not energy efficient in any way but it is
over 70 years old and sits on the original Stokleys Canning Company
site and just a few miles from the original Bushes Canning company site.
RoHS Compliance:
In-house rebuilding and new assembly have been 100% compliant since
2005. Rathbone Broadcast Batteries continues to strive for 100%
compliance in product manufactured for us outside our facility.
Battery Cell Recycling:
Rathbone Broadcast Batteries has a PDF on this that has been on our web
site for years as well as an html file on our main web site:
*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 four years ago. You
cannot use nickel cadmium battery cells and be green or promote yourself as
environmentally friendly.
Rathbone Broadcast Batteries is an Environmentally Conscious
Company striving to stay Green. Having our own line of lithium
ion broadcast battery packs, Rathbone Broadcast Batteries has phased out battery assembly and
also battery rebuilding using nickel cadmium, no longer supporting the rebuild
of Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) nickel cadmium battery products. Being the only Battery Assembler
Worldwide that supports rebuilding battery packs, we understand this
will create a hardship on those invested in nickel cadmium products but we offer
our Upgrade and great
alternative.
Since we no longer rebuild or do new
assembly with nickel cadmium battery cells below is a contact for recycling all your nickel cadmium,
nickel metal hydride, and lithium ion battery packs. We are NOT
affiliated with any recycle contact.
For those with minimal quantities of nickel cadmium battery packs they
can be dropped off at any Home Depot, Lowes, Sears, etc.
