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 Proformers 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.

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.  We have a Premium Battery rebuilding Service and an Economy "Sack and Save" Recell or Refill Service, each listed below in detailed black and white facts.  When your livelihood depends on your batteries don't settle for second best.
