Examples of Amateur Work

You get what you pay for.

All of these companies claim years of experience.

The technician for this known company that built these inserts must have been on drugs.  Chinese cells, no paper tubes, no washers, actually soldered the weld tabs together creating additional voltage drops that will effect the readings of any quality smart charger or analyzer.  You would think they bought one of those, "Make a 6 figure income from home", do it yourself books.

  The case is taped together with clear packing tape, Chinese cells, no paper tubes, no insulator washers, the external band is cut, butchered wiring harness, and more.

  Another from your well known franchised corner retail store. The case is taped together, has adhesive caulk inside the case rendering the case useless for repeat recells, Chinese cells, no paper tubes, the external band is cut, no insulator washers, butchered wiring harness, and more.

A very well known and respected aftermarket company battery pack.  PVC Shrink and No tubes, split PVC and split solder tab shrink equal a recipe for disaster.

  Bait and Switch.  These people were and may still be in the very Southern tip of the country. Unfortunately for us we did a little business with them in 1994, toxic.  In this recent picture of a battery that came in here for a recell we discovered the following.  The tubes were removed from the OEM cells for recycle use but this vendors practice is to leave the Sanyo label and part number on the tubes even though they are using Chinese cells which leak or low grade brand name cells which have probably been on their shelf for years. Plus, they cut the band which should not be cut, and they cut the case in the wrong position.

  A New England vendor.  the case is cut leaving a gap, the case is only taped together, brand name "High Capacity" low end cells, no paper tubes, no insulator washers,  and more. Plus, they cut the band which should not be cut, and they cut the case in the wrong position.

More to come.  Now for intermission.

MAKE A 6 FIGURE INCOME FROM HOME WITH MY NEW "HOW TO REBUILD YURE BATTERIES AT HOME" book.  No insulator washers, no paper tubes, a voltage drop at every solder joint, simply held together with pieces of tape. No, this one is not on drugs.  This one, with XX years of experience bought one of those, "Make a 6 figure income from home", do it yourself books, and now he are a electronic technician with NO battery experience.  Yes, a perfect example of, "Those who cannot do write books" and the dummy's who buy them. 

Fixing verses a Pro rate Warranty: I thought "Fixen" was a Southern Term but apparently not.  When it comes to a warranty you should look for a Full Replacement Warranty like with the Rathbone Energy New Lithium Ion V Mount and Gold Mount battery packs or Rathbone Energy Premium Rebuild Battery Pro Rate warranties.  A warranty that will "fix" is fixen to get you!

  Glue - "Bonding": These cases built by various West Coast Amateurs use Glue - "Bonding"  which will not hold, ruins the case, and allows No future recell or rebuild.

    These amateur "recell" business cases show where they cut the wiring harness, chewed up the wiring harness, "patched" the wiring harness and did that without color coding the harnesses, and use torn pieces of cork and cardboard as insulators where they broke and or cut the wiring harness or where bare cell was exposed.  Poop in a Bag, I mean brick.

Our facility: There are no fancy buildings or flatulent egos to inflate at Rathbone Energy.  This helps keep our cost down while supplying you the best battery cell inserts.   We keep overhead to a minimum and have modest salaries allowing you the best value on the highest quality cells.  

The staff is small in number but big in heart. 

We talk to people who have purchased cheap or even nonconforming product as a "real deal" or bargain who have then discovered that there is no such thing as a "Free" lunch.  But, you can also overpay for your product. We have heard it said that an educated buyer is good for the company, so we provide the battery value worksheet. 

To help with your purchasing decision, our cell and product specification sheets have been designed in great detail, nothing vague or generalized, backed up  with comparative manufacturers specification sheets.  Please advise us if you find an area where we are not competitive on same product so we may verify, make adjustments and gain your business!  Note: We have no problem with really low price battery competition.  They know their stuff, and so do we.
