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.

When shopping remember real specifications:

Engineering specification sheets spec Ni-Cd battery cells at 1.25V per cell.

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 = 72WH

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.

These inserts and the Rebuild service for ProPac Digital battery packs are direct replacements, exceeding industry standard cell packs and are built with the specified 5.5AH (@C\1) rate cells.

We Do NOT use third world or brand name low end "economical" or consumer grade battery cells.  We are using the very best  nickel cadmium battery cells available, (exceeding industry standards) and High-Tech Plastic Welders.

Battery Cell:  cell specifications.
