Lithium Ion Batteries and Chargers Today!
Rathbone is a battery assembler, (A factory),
not a box house or widget buyer storing bulk purchase battery packs for
very long periods of time. And our Rathbone Broadcast Lithium Ion
Battery Packs serve as a Great alternative to those battery packs
manufactured for years Off ShoreFor companies like Anton
Bauer Batteries, IDX Batteries, Red One Batteries, Sony Batteries, or
Generic batteries like VariZoom Batteries, Switt Batteries and a host of
other generic Chinese batteries. You
may have one or two of these broadcast battery companies that ship in
off shore battery inserts with circuit board attached and the case
shipped in as well and the battery placed into the case here which would
make them a value added distributor at best. But in reality they
really only have a weak tech repair center. Rathbone called
all other battery assemblers and distributors to the table in 1993 by
developing the FIRST and ONLY FULL DISCLOSURE WEB SITE, educating the
end users and giving extreme detail on battery pack design. Rathbone is
the only broadcast battery supplier that is an actual battery assembler.
No broadcast battery supplier or so called manufacturer actually
assembles Li-ON cells into packs themselves or within the USA.
With proper motivation I could supply contact information and links to
their Chinese suppliers.
Whether a
Professional, Freelance, or Network buyer, once you or they understand
the difference between Rathbone Premium High Capacity Lithium Ion
Broadcast Batteries, overpriced segregated batteries with what we
consider bad design shelved in a box house or other low end batteries
that have been on the shelf in a box house for a very long period and
more than likely not in a climate controlled storage environment, you or
they will and do choose Rathbone. A
Professional wants a better value but also understands that when your
livelihood depends on your batteries you don't settle for second best or
worse in product quality, battery knowledge, or by use of low grade
brand name cells and short cuts or Chinese cells and short cuts. A
professional is also not waived by overpriced alternatives for fear of
not being popular or accepted as part of a Kiss A _ _ crowd.

Lithium-Ion Technology Considerations
An excellent article by David Harding discussing lithium ion purity and
other important points of information regarding quality lithium ion battery
packs and poor quality lithium ion battery packs manufactured using short
cuts and leaky cells. No, poor quality does not stop with lead paint,
tainted shell fish, tainted tooth paste, poison animal food, and many other
products that have endangered the lives of men, women, and children across
the globe. It is also in the quality of your battery packs that you
carry on your shoulder.

debt or to the US economy?

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 in 2005. Sanyo started their depletion in 2008.
You cannot use nickel cadmium battery cells and be green or promote
yourself as environmentally friendly. Rathbone Energy is an
Environmentally Conscious Company striving to stay Green since 1989.
Having our own line of lithium ion broadcast battery packs, Rathbone
Energy has phased out battery assembly and also battery rebuilding using
nickel cadmium, no longer supporting the rebuild of Original Equipment
Manufacturer (OEM) nickel cadmium battery products in any market.
Being the only Battery Assembler Worldwide that supports
rebuilding battery packs, we understand that this will create a hardship
on those invested in nickel cadmium products but we offer our Upgrade
and great alternative.
Nickel Metal Hydride:
Panasonic stopped production of small cell nickel metal hydride cells in
2009 and in a restructure mode, Sanyo Battery followed. If I could
find Panasonic or Sanyo nickel metal hydride battery cells through
Panasonic, Sanyo, or another Valued Added distributor, (who by the way
have $5,000.00 minimum orders), the date codes on the cells would be too
old and unacceptable for premium capacity ratings. Chinese and
South African/Chinese battery cells under any private label name have an
average 200 discharge cycles, immediate battery cell deterioration, and
cell leakage which will damage circuit boards and components. We
do NOT do Chinese cells.
LifePo4 - September 01, 2011: I
started work on this product in 2007, I will write a white page on
why we continue to elect not to assemble this chemical battery and why
the battery pack manufacturers we work with refuse to work with this
chemical, and what my colleagues in the EV field and I experience when
running extensive test on this chemical from existing manufacturers of
the cell. I wanted to introduce this pack in early 2008 but for
the expectations of myself and industry colleagues that actually
manufacturer battery packs and chargers, it is not practical or ready.
I have been approached by most if not all of the manufacturers of the
cell for a long time wanting me to consider it for Broadcast batteries
and other versions for EV research. I have to say no and tell them
why without giving out our experience and research information for free.
This has been very frustrating to me because I was looking forward to
using this cell.
Since we no longer rebuild or do new
assembly with nickel cadmium battery cells below is a contact for recycling all
your nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride, and lithium ion battery
packs. We are NOT affiliated with any recycle contact. For those
with minimal quantities of nickel cadmium battery packs they can be
dropped off at any Home Depot, Lowes, Sears, etc.
