Rathbone Energy Rebuild Service and Upgrade for Your Dead Anton Bauer Batteries Dionic 90 Rebuilt to 104WH and under 8.5 grams of lithium. Yes We Can!

Why you should choose Rathbone Energy a true and professional battery assembler to service your valuable Anton Bauer Batteries and other equipment is in the details.  But, have you considered Upgrading?

Digital Battery Problems and Resolution (Please read before going any further)  Then see how it should be done while the page is still up and you have a reference from a professional battery pack assembler.

Rathbone Energy is a Battery Assembler and Rathbone Broadcast lithium ion V mount and Gold mount battery packs and chargers are equal to or exceed Anton Bauer Batteries, Dionic Batteries, IDX Endura Batteries V Mount, Sony V Mount, and VariZoom Lithium Ion Battery Packs and are a Lithium Ion Battery Value. 

Rebuild of fine Anton Bauer batteries or other broadcast news, cinema, film or video batteries after they have died is our specialty, including those of defunct companies who frequently close their doors and then open again under the same or another name.  When your livelihood depends on your batteries you don't settle for second best.

First the picture story, followed by a detailed description and "no gimmick" pricing in black and white.  Some pictures may be enlarged with a click for a cleaner picture.  Hoover 3 seconds to read picture text information.

For our safety and yours, expedient turn around, and quality work, sales staff are NOT allowed to interrupt technicians in assembly.

   Picture to the left is one of our Anton Bauer 2702 with DDM testing stations, testing, autocal, and charging different rebuilt Anton Bauer ProPac Logic, Digital ProPac Logic, Hytron 100 Series, and Dionic battery packs to verify proper operation of the completed battery, on the chargers they were designed for, before we place the enclosure back together.

As shown below, Cadex analyzers, software programmable,  supply excellent charge and maintenance to Your units.  Click to enlarge.

The Best Rebuild Value for Your Dead Anton Bauer Digital Dionic 90 Lithium Ion Battery is with Our Best 104WH Panasonic / Moli CGR18650A Lithium Ion battery cell pack.  Each cell is equivalent and meets or exceeds OEM specifications.  

We will NOT build an Economy version of a lithium ion battery pack.

• Premium Rebuild of Dead Anton Bauer Digital Dionic 90:

  • RE-14P7ABD90LiR

  • Description:

    • 14.4V 7.2AH 104WH, 12, Panasonic / Moli CGR18650A, 3.6V 2.4AH Lithium Ion cells, (4 sets of 3 cells), 2x1x6 Nested configuration, series-parallel circuit, manufacturers brand labeled PVC shrink, heat shrink weld tabs, fiber top and bottom insulators. Charge discharge cycles are 500 full charge discharge cycles.   Regulations allow up to a 10% increase in amperage on an exist design. This cell is within that 10%. 

  • If after being rebuilt your Dionic 90 does not pass the test of an Anton Bauer InterActive 2702 with DDM you should know...

    1. That the insert will be removed from your shell.

    2. That we will not proceed further with that shell.

    3. At your request your empty case and defective components will be returned to you.

    4. Our experience is that greater than 60% fail the 2702 test, and we are very good.

  • Why We No Longer Rebuild The Dionic 90

  • IMPORTANT:  Another difference between a Professional and an Amateur: It has been our experience with these particular batteries that after all the above checks are carefully finished, still, a large percentage of these batteries, estimated at >60%, do NOT pass the AB2707 with DDM Test's because they came in with internal circuit board damage that can only be discovered after a new insert is installed and we loose all the time consuming labor.

  • Our Rathbone Energy Lithium Ion batteries are built differently:

    1. We have streamlined the internal circuitry of our batteries and they to have built in protection circuitry to ensure the highest degree of safety operation.  They are STILL Lithium Ion.   
    2. By streamlining our batteries circuits we remove unnecessary components that might be used to force someone's battery to only work with one brand charger.
    3. 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.
