Nickel Cadmium battery cells are environmentally unfriendly. Thanks to International Environmental Concerns and the good laws of other countries, our battery cell manufacturers have already started to phase nickel cadmium from their manufacturing lines.  Panasonic did so three years ago. Being an Environmentally Conscious Company, and Now having our own line of broadcast battery packs, Rathbone Energy is now phasing nickel cadmium out as well and expects to be finished by 2010, no longer supporting the rebuild of Anton Bauer products.  Being the only Battery Assembler Worldwide that supports rebuilding battery packs, we understand that this will create a hardship on those invested in Anton Bauer nickel cadmium but offer a great alternative.

Before you have Rathbone rebuild your battery belt consider what in 2008, we have encountered in parts accessibility, plus the nickel cadmium issue.  As these battery belts wear with age, parts need to be replaced.  In 2008 we were no longer able to find many important replacement parts for several brand if not all of these old battery belts rendering the new rebuild useless to the client.  Even though we would like to have the profit, if we rebuild the pack with fresh, high end battery cells and the packs are performing at peak, peak is sometimes too much for the worn out parts and relays.  We strongly encourage a new look at our lithium ion technology.

Important information in our battery facts and FAQ's listed at the bottom of the page.  All major brand Nickel Cadmium D Cell Specs, (Panasonic, Saft, Sanyo)

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).

Battery Cell:  cell specifications.

Rathbone Energy, Inc., recommends either the Sanyo KR5000DEL 5.5AH D cell or the Sanyo N4000DRL D cell, (both at C\1 rate centered on center cells) for best performance, run time and value!

Each battery stack is individually insulated by paper tubes for improved durability against hard bumps and elevated temperatures.

The integrity of the pack is achieved by glue (which is injected between each stack) and reinforced tape. Stacks are interconnected with nickel plated weld tabs for extra low resistance. When a complete belt insert is ordered, six stacks are  prepared for quick and easy installation into existing belt carcasses. Stick of cell insert

The specification charts point out the cells utilized for extended life and reliability.  These belt inserts were designed to be a very durable and long lasting battery pack. We can also custom build any pack to your specifications with several other available cells. For additional information or questions please email or call our technical information line.
