Anton Bauer Logic or Hytron series batteries the battery inserts may still
be good and there is a cost saving resolution. Call for details.

Note: If after rebuild, your battery
does not pass all the test of an Anton Bauer Interactive 2702 PowerCharger with DDM you will be advised and you are NOT charged for the rebuild. Your two
choices are then:
At your request the new insert will
be removed and your empty case returned to you.
If after being
rebuilt your H50 does
not pass the test of an Anton Bauer InterActive 2702 with DDM you should
know that it will still charge just fine on a PAG Pulsar or Quasar
Analyzer and will also continue to work on your cameras.
You can purchase one of these
PAG analyzers from Rathbone Energy, Inc., at a discount from the PAG
price structure.
Once a Professional client understands the
difference between our Premium Rebuild and this competitor alternative
recell/refill below they completely drop interest in this 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!BGT
H50: The Sanyo 4.5AH Fast Charge HR-4/3FAU4500 cell,
exceeding
industry standards. This cell is factored at 4.5AH at C/1 rate.
Some engineering specification sheets spec Ni-MH
battery cells at 1.25V *
12 cells = 15.0V * 4.5AH = 67.5WH), with +/- 500 full charge-discharge cycles.
We Do NOT use Chinese, third world, Toshiba, Energizer Consumer
grade or brand name low end "economical" cells in our Premium
Rebuild packages. When your livelihood depends on your
batteries don't settle for second best.
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.
If on an outside chance you have found a battery
assembler or a battery pack rebuilder that offers everything we do in:
cell selection, building your battery pack, efforts in safety, detailed black and white
description sheets backed up by detailed manufacturers battery cell
specification sheets, packing slips, and invoices, you have just found
