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.

Once a Professional client understands the difference between our Premium Rebuild and competitor alternative recell/refills they completely drop interest in the Economy option below. 

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.

  • When shopping remember real specifications: (Click to expand)

    • 150WH, 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.

    • Hytron Cells

    • D Cell Specs

    • No Chinese, Third World, Toshiba, or Energizer Consumer Grade Cells Are Used In Our Premium RebuildsWhen your livelihood depends on your batteries don't settle for second best or worse.

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.

 

Understand Our Procedure for Opening Your Battery Packs

 

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 batteries 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.
