Rathbone Energy also rebuilds / recells aftermarket or generic broadcast and film batteries from defunct companies, even those who frequently open and close their doors under the same or different names, some claming many consecutive years in business.

We replace their third world or brand name low end "economical - high capacity" cells with

•  Brand name highest quality cells
•  Greatest detail in battery pack assembly
•  Proper and professional building procedure
•  At the most affordable price
•  With detailed product descriptions, white pages, packing slips, and invoices
•  Cell manufacturers specification sheets
• Amateur Work Examples
• Stable Vendor

Your Best Value: Rathbone Energy

Rebuild: Premium Work and Cells

Recell / Refill: Our Economy "Sack and Save" Lines

Your alternative:

Do not be fooled! We have seen so many broadcast battery recelling companies close, open again, silently close again, come back under a different name, and then close again. They always come back with a crafty spin, gimmicks, cheap prices, and plugging brand names like, "Sanyo", while using cheap, or brand name low end economical cells.   Or promoting off brand names as if they are proven.  Showing a multi-story facility does not mean you own that facility, just that you have high enough margins on low quality cells to rent space in that facility.

We are not a start up company!  Through all of our own challenges we have kept our doors open consistently for your business since 1989. Our FAQ sheets supply you with total detail on every item we assemble and specifications for every cell available as well as what to look for in a good vendor and a bad vendor.

"Spin" is cheap, like the old saying about BS walks....  Read the actual manufacturers cell specifications on your cell options for that battery pack!. 

1. We Do NOT use third world / Chinese "factory new", "brand name" low end "economical - high capacity" cells in our Premium Lines.  They have a very degrading discharge curve, less charge discharge cycles, leak, and the leaking damages your circuitry. So, you can get a great price and really get what you paid for!

2. We turn our inventory on an average of every four weeks.

3. All battery packs and inserts are built to order in our Tennessee facility by Highly trained technicians with several quality control measures.

4. We buy factory direct using ONLY Enersys Hawker for dry cell lead acid, LG Chem, Panasonic and Sanyo's Best Available Battery cells for lithium ion (Never Good or Better options), and Sanyo for Nickel Cadmium (Nickel Cadmium is now a mute point). 

   1. For Nickel Cadmium battery packs we use the very best nickel cadmium sintered positive electrode rapid charge battery cells when they are available from Sanyo (Mute point).

      1. Otherwise we use Sanyo's very best Press Negative nickel cadmium battery cells available.

   2. Panasonic dropped manufacture of large nickel cadmium battery cells in mid 2005.

   3. Rumor has it that Panasonic may also be moving their manufacturing facilities back to Japan and the US.
