Broadcast News, Cinema, Professional Film and Video Camera Battery New, Rebuilding / Recelling Links, and Battery Analyzers and Chargers

The pages are Pre-K simple even without many pictograms or icons.  If you will just read you will find.  Pictures come later.  When I get in a rush it takes me three times longer than if I had done it right the first time.  It is important that you Slowly scroll this page.

Rathbone Energy rebuilds broadcast news, cinema, professional film and video camera batteries from Anton Bauer or any manufacturer with the best cell choices available.  We start with the best cell option and work the price from that cost factor.  Our specialty since 1989!  No Sales Tax except for Tennessee Residents Only. 

  • Discount: Save 3% to 5% on Your sales Contract if paying by Bank Wire, Company / Cashiers Check, or Money Orders.

    • We can give that hard earned money to American Express, Master Card, PayPal, Visa, or You.  Who would you rather receive the discount?

  • Ten Dollar $10.00 Credit! 

    • One (1) $10.00 credit for each Anton Bauer Dionic 90 / 160, Hytron 100/120/140 Series, Logic Digital ProPac or Logic ProPac Battery exchanged against one of our New Lithium Ion Battery Packs!  One (1) $5.00 credit for each Hytron 50, TrimPac, Proformer, or IDX or Sony BP Professional Camera Battery.  One battery credit per each new battery purchased.

  • New Lithium Ion Batteries - New V Mount Batteries and Gold Mount Batteries for Broadcast-Cinema-Film-Production comparable to Gold Mount Dionic Batteries, V Mount IDX Batteries, and V Mount Sony BP Lithium Ion Batteries. (Click this line or paragraph to expand and show different lithium ion battery packs, new) 

    • If you are going to buy lithium ion battery packs, invest your money in a more quality product through Rathbone Energy........
      • We offer the widest selection of lithium-ion v mount batteries and gold mount batteries for broadcast and film cameras. It begins with a light weight BP65 (1.2 lb.) that has a 65 watt-hour capacity; and extends to 200 WH that allows hours of operation.
      • They are available exclusively through Rathbone Energy in gold-mount or v-mount battery types that suit various kinds of broadcast and film cameras. The battery housings are ergonomically designed to enable robust usage; and yet easy to handle. 
      • Battery protection circuitry are built-in to safeguard against over-discharge, over-charge and over-current.
      • We have streamlined the internal circuitry of these batteries and they have built in protection circuitry to ensure the highest degree of safety operation.   
      • By streamlining these batteries we remove unnecessary components that might be used to force someone's battery to only work with one brand charger.
      • Unnecessary components that have nothing to do with the safety of the battery only increase the chance that the battery will fail prematurely because of unnecessary components being damaged when a battery is jolted or dropped.
      • All batteries are equipped with LED indicators for monitoring the capacity.
      • You will also notice the lighter reflective color of the case and the flat nature of the battery pack design which allows less rows of cells that in return allow better heat dissipation of the internal battery cells.
      • Panasonic and Sanyo lithium ion battery cells offer +/- 200 charge - discharge cycles and a consistent discharge performance curve throughout the cycle life allowing more run time per cycle.  Low end third world and Chinese cells offer < 200 charge - discharge cycles but also supply a quick and constant degrading discharge curve, performance, and it is not unusual to see battery cell leakage which is a danger to the battery, the equipment, and most importantly, the users.

    Available exclusively through Rathbone Energy, Inc., and our dealer network.

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.

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, Panasonic and Sanyo for lithium ion, and Sanyo for Nickel Cadmium. 

    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.

      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.
