The battery capacity of a

after 500 times life charging cycle, is normal.

protection circuit board
Light Grey Case to reduce heat absorption from the sun
Flat packing of cells over nesting of cells to assist in
heat reduction. Example: ProPac, Hytron and Dionic 90 have
a nested configuration of battery cells.
Detailed Battery Specification Sheet and
MSDS Sheet, in Black and White backing up what we tell you is
inside the battery packs is what we
are selling you.
Rathbone could build alternative battery
packs with Chinese battery cells for 75% less but we have
refused to do Chinese or "Name Brand" battery cells.
However, for the non-professional
wanting cheap batteries with cheap performance, for at least
half the price, we are thinking on it. If we do, we Will
tell you they are poop in a bag before you give us your money.
But,
When your livelihood depends on your batteries you don't settle for second
best, let alone use Chinese battery cells.
Water-proof materials, completely
protecting the delicate equipment from dampness and rain, and
any worse outdoor conditions. You can view the camera's running
status easily through the large transparent windows. It's
flexible & easy to use. Used for all kinds of professional video
camcorders.
Rathbone Energy is a battery assembler and our Rathbone Broadcast Lithium Ion Battery Packs serve as a Great alternative
to those battery packs manufactured Off Shore For companies like Anton Bauer, IDX, Sony, or VariZoom. Rathbone Energy called
all other battery assemblers and distributors to the table in 1993 by
developing the FIRST and ONLY FULL DISCLOSURE WEB SITE,
www.rathboneenergy.com , educating the end
users and giving extreme detail on battery pack design.
Whether a Professional, Freelance, or
Network buyer, once they understand the difference between Rathbone
Premium Lithium Ion Broadcast Batteries, overpriced segregated batteries
with what we consider bad design, and box house low end batteries, they
choose Rathbone.
A Professional wants
a better value but also understands that when your livelihood depends on
your batteries you don't settle for second best or worse in product
quality, knowledge, or by use of low grade and "Brand Name" cells and
short cuts.
If you are going to buy lithium ion battery
packs, nickel metal hydride battery packs, or rebuild your battery
packs, invest your money in a more quality product through Rathbone
Energy........
We offer the widest selection of lithium-ion Sony
Style V mount batteries
and Anton Bauer Style Gold mount batteries for broadcast and film cameras. It
begins with a light weight BP65 (1.2 lb.) that has a 65
watt-hour capacity; and extends to 600WH that allows hours of
operation.
They are available exclusively through Rathbone
Energy in gold-mount, v-mount, and 4-pin xlr battery types that suit various kinds of
broadcast and film cameras. The battery housings are
ergonomically designed to enable robust usage; and yet easy to
handle.
Excellent Battery protection circuitry are built-in to safeguard against
over-discharge, over-charge and over-current.
We have streamlined the internal
operation and performance circuitry of
these batteries and they have built in protection circuitry to
ensure the highest degree of safety operation available.
Rathbone is a battery assembler since 1989, are competent, and
we use proper weld tabs, insulators, and spacers.
By streamlining these batteries we remove
unnecessary components that might be used to force someone's
battery to only work with one brand charger.
Unnecessary components that have nothing to
do with the safety of the battery only increase the chance that
the battery will fail prematurely because of unnecessary
components being damaged when a battery is jolted or dropped.
All batteries are equipped with:
LED indicators for monitoring the capacity.
Camera Light Power Tap
You will also notice the lighter reflective
color of the case and the flat nature of the battery pack design
which allows less rows of cells that in return allow better heat
dissipation of the internal battery cells. The case for the
batteries and chargers are generic but are exactly what I wanted
for my battery and charger guts..
LG Chem, Panasonic, and Sanyo "Best
Available" lithium ion battery
cells offer +/- 500 charge - discharge cycles and a consistent
discharge performance curve throughout the cycle life allowing more run time per cycle. Low end
"Brand Name", Economy, third world
and Chinese cells offer < 200 charge - discharge cycles but also
supply a quick and constant degrading discharge curve,
performance, and it is not unusual to see battery cell leakage,
especially in Chinese cells,
which is a danger to the battery, the equipment, and most
importantly, the users.
Individual battery packs are
assembled from the same battery cell lot numbers.
(Lot-same manufacturing run)
As with our rebuilding and
assembly lines, only fresh cells.
Your battery packs are custom built
under strict quality control using new, fresh premium Panasonic,
Sanyo, and LG, balanced battery cells from the same respective
manufactured battery cell lots. Battery cells do not have an infinite shelf storage life. Therefore, we do
not build up a bulk of battery packs to be left sitting on shelves.
Rathbone Energy
called all other battery assemblers and distributors to the
table in 1993 by developing the FIRST and ONLY FULL DISCLOSURE
WEB SITE educating the end users and giving extreme detail on
battery cell specifications and battery pack design,
Our quality and price is Great. You
are getting below box house pricing on the Best Panasonic, Sanyo, and LG
cells, they move fast, so there is a short lead time on orders. Do not wait, place your
order today by telephone, email, or through our Rathbone Broadcast
Battery Store.
*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 Energy
is an
Environmentally Conscious Company striving to stay Green since 1989. Having our own line of lithium ion
broadcast battery packs, Rathbone Energy 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.
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.
