We have Dead Pre-Owned Anton Bauer Logic ProPac Batteries that we did rebuild as orders were placed for them.  We have Pre-owned Logic Magnum, Logic Series, Logic Digital (with LCD).  Sometimes the LCD has been cracked.  The price is the same for rebuilding whichever we have in stock.  We have phased out ALL nickel Cadmium, for a better solution.

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.

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

Premium Service

  Newer Logic ProPac without Glass Fuse

          OPENING THE CASE: Original Logic ProPac with Glass Fuse.  No amateur opening your case improperly and also butchering your wiring harness then twisting the wires back together.  No band saws and bonding - glue.  Several important but none listed workmanship services are done at this point in our premium service.

    Original Logic ProPac with Glass Fuse

     BATTERY INSERT COMPONENTS, CELLS, AND PROFESSIONAL PACKAGING OF OUR PREMIUM SERVICE: The same insert is used in Logic Digital, Original Non-Digital Logic ProPac and Newer Non-Digital Logic ProPac.  Digital=LCD Screen; Non-Digital=No LCD screen.  No amateur work here either.  We specify the exact cells used in black and white on the description and invoice.

     WELD SEAM ON A PREMIUM REBUILD: Original Logic ProPac Digital or Non-Digital after our Professional Welding Seam securing the case and allowing it to be rebuilt over and over.  Amateur's and fly by night companies use "Bonding" which is glue and tape that will break and also ruins the case.

    Either Logic Non-Digital ProPac after closing the case shown with new back plate cover which includes Your logo and phone number and is included in the price.

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: FINAL TEST USED ON OUR PREMIUM REBUILDS: Our professional procedure and price also requires that All Logic ProPac Digital, Non-Digital, and Hytron 100, Hytron 120, and Hytron 140 recells are tested on Anton Bauer 2702's w/DDM before adding enclosure.  We stand alone in professional quality rebuilding.  As shown below, PAG ACS analyzers supply excellent charge and maintenance to Your units and do not require communication with the internal temperature sensors of AB batteries.  Click to enlarge.

   First picture 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 battery packs to verify proper operation of the completed battery, on the chargers they were designed for, before we place the enclosure back together for our professional welding technique.    This picture is a PAG Pulsar with same type batteries doing a full diagnostic, discharge, charge, balance, and a recovery program, then to a stand by status.

Unlike smart chargers, Cadex and PAG analyzers do NOT require any digital circuitry to analyze and properly charger your batteries.

If your Anton Bauer Interactive chargers no longer recognize particular Anton Bauer Logic or Hytron series batteries the battery inserts may still be good and there is a cost saving resolution.  Call for details.
