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.

AB Charger

Will my rebuilt battery continue to work in my charger? 

If I have a new insert placed into the existing battery case of my dead standard or more sophisticated digital type battery will the complete battery with your new insert continue to work with my charger?
Yes. Some sales people may tell you that you cannot rebuild your dead battery and that if you do that the rebuilt battery will not work with their charger.  This is not true if the battery is rebuilt by Rathbone Energy, Inc.  Rathbone Energy can rebuild or recell your dead battery pack and it will work with other  brand chargers as well as with your original charger system.  

For example:

When we rebuild a dead Anton Bauer Logic or Digital Propac battery,  Digital Hytron 50, 100, 120, 140 battery, we test each packs voltage before inserting into your wiring harness.  we then place the battery on an Anton Bauer 2702 with DDM, test, and log the final results from the lower right hand corner of the second digital read out.  If the battery fails the test we trouble shoot the wiring harness and circuit board.  If this does not resolve the issue we call the client.  After the pack is sealed we make a final test using Anton Bauer Quad 2702 InterActive chargers  with the DDM before shipping back to you.

Digital Readout Batteries: See the FAQ, "LCD Bar Readout", for more definite detail and notes.

Anton Bauer InterActive 2702 charger with DDM used here to test your Standard, Logic, and Digital Propac and Hytron recells before sealing the case, after sealing the case, and return to clients. We also make sure no battery reads "Non-Logic" before sealing the case.  There are only a few reasons a battery would read non-logic anyway. 

Non-Logic Reading

Thermal Issue

    3. Read Manual Page numbers (9, 10 & 11), Adobe pdf page number (13, 14 & 15)

There used to be a company, many years ago, that built batteries with a stone age built-in overnight (trickle) charger design.  We do not believe popular science would publish that design.  They closed their doors again about ten years ago but occasionally one of their old batteries will still float to the surface.  We cannot keep up with when they re-open and close.  It is our opinion that those batteries should be labeled, "battery crock pots".  We do not recommend any battery packs with built-in trickle chargers which can cook your cells.
