  • Rathbone Lithium Ion Broadcast Batteries using "BEST" cells from LG Chem and Panasonic:

  • Excellent Battery protection circuitry are built-in to safeguard against over-discharge, over-charge and over-current.

  • We have streamlined the internal operation and performance circuitry of these batteries and they have built in protection circuitry to ensure the highest degree of safety operation available.

  • Rathbone is a battery assembler since 1989, are competent, and we use proper weld tabs, insulators, and spacers.

  • By streamlining these batteries we remove unnecessary components that might be used to force someone's battery to only work with one brand charger.

  • Ø 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. I will not mention any company name here.

  • Ø All batteries are equipped with:

  • Ø LED indicators for monitoring the capacity.

  • Ø Camera Light Power Tap

  • Ø 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. The case for the batteries and chargers are generic but are exactly what I wanted for my battery and charger guts.

  • Ø Panasonic, Sanyo, and LG “BEST Available” lithium ion battery cells offer +/- 500 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.

  • Ø Individual battery packs are assembled from the same battery cell lot numbers. (Lot-same manufacturing run)

  • Ø As with our rebuilding and assembly lines, only fresh cells.

  • Ø Your battery packs are custom built under strict quality control using new, fresh premium Panasonic, Sanyo, and LG, balanced battery cells from the same respective manufactured battery cell lots. Battery cells do not have an infinite shelf storage life. Therefore, we do not build up a bulk of battery packs to be left sitting on shelves.

  • In 1993 Rathbone Energy called all other battery assemblers and distributors to the table by developing the FIRST and ONLY FULL DISCLOSURE WEB SITE educating the end users and giving extreme detail on battery cell specifications and battery pack design,

  • Our quality and price is Great. You are getting below box house pricing on the Best Panasonic, Sanyo, and LG cells, they move fast, so there is a short lead time on orders. Do not wait, place your order today by telephone, email, or through our Rathbone Broadcast Battery Store.

  • Buy American and the Other Side of the Coin, you just have to get angry with USA greed.

  • For 20 years we have supplied only the very best nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride, and now lithium ion battery cells for new assembly and for rebuilding. Today we have to compromise on nickel cadmium battery cells and offer the "Best Available" battery cell in nickel cadmium. Again,

  • Consider "Best Available" in Panasonic and Sanyo, NO CHINESE BATTERY CELLS:

  • Nickel Cadmium: 500 Discharge Cycles

  • Nickel Metal Hydride: 500 Discharge Cycles

  • New Lithium Ion: 500 Discharge Cycles, and 70% of the broadcast market has already gone to lithium ion.

  • Whether a Professional, Freelance, or Network buyer, once they understand the difference between Rathbone Premium Lithium Ion Broadcast Batteries, overpriced segregated batteries with what we consider bad design, and box house low end batteries with Chinese cells, they 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, knowledge, or by use of low grade and "Brand Name" cells and short cuts.

  • Note: amateur recellers that come and go purchase pre-built battery inserts, on price, in bulk from any battery assembler that will meet the price, or they use a very low end cap welder to get by and they do NOT know batteries, and if an Anton Bauer Battery, do not test their recells with AB 2702’s with DDM.

  • Payment:

  • Rathbone Lithium Ion Broadcast Batteries in this store have been reduced by 5% for paying via Bank wire, Cashiers / company check, money order.

  • Request Bank wire information. If you choose this method please let me know you did this so I will be watching for your wire.

  • Cashiers/Company Check, money order: If you choose this method please let me know as well.

  • Mail checks to:

  • Rathbone Energy

  • PO Box 1753

  • Dandridge, TN 37725

  • Credit Cards: Never again.

  • From December 15, 2007 through March 31, 2008 we took $14,000.00 in credit card charge backs from 4th quarter new clients that DID receive their product but for whatever economic depression reason, like, no more room on their credit cards, cut credit limits, etc., I took the $14,000.00 hit with an additional $1,400.00 in bank NSF's. After many conversations with my merchant provider interface I understand that this is a growing problem in our depression. Even with signed sales orders stating "custom manufactured product manufactured to client specifications, NO REFUND", and signed delivery signatures, I received NO support from AMEX, MC, or Visa. I was forced to drop an 8 year old merchant account and a 15 year old bank account. Closing the bank account stopped AMEX, MC, and VISA from being able to withdraw more funds from 4th quarter clients that did receive their product. We are at very strong odds with each other that will not be resolved. The withdraws come unannounced with no regard for a bank balance or outstanding checks. It was out of control and financial chaos. The emergency relocation has caused a greater financial loss in 2008.

  • I have a friend that has a Jewelry channel that is doing about $40,000.00 per night in jewelry sales with a 65% credit card refund rate, not necessarily receiving back the jewelry. He is going under and will go under if he keeps taking credit cards. His is/was rich, I am not.

  • Small orders: USPS - We will ship via United States Postal Service to anywhere in the Continental U.S. for $10.00 per battery delivery signature required, but the Postal Service CANNOT track your shipment except to verify delivery.
  • We can also ship via your UPS, FEDEX or DHL prepaid return label, signature required. Prepaid return label PDF must be emailed to sales@rathboneenergy.com
  • Current Lead Times:
  1. Rathbone Broadcast Lithium Ion Batteries, Battery Chargers, Lights, Bags Etc: lead time can run up to 4 weeks, occasionally 8 weeks, depending on the product, quantity ordered, battery cell allocations, world economy, power outages, and other. Please call for estimated lead time if you have a critical situation.
  2. Rathbone Energy Ni-CD and Ni-MH Rebuilds and Recells: current lead time is running approximately 4 to 6 weeks on new orders and this lead time may change without notice. We are working for a reduction on this lead time but this is our busiest season. If you have a time sensitive situation please call us we may be able to offer other solutions.
  3. Rathbone Energy Dionic (Li-Ion) rebuilds: If you read our information about rebuilding Dionic batteries, ( http://www.rathboneenergy.com/batteries/broadcast/anton_bauer_rebuilding/dionic_90/dionic90_rebuilding.htm), you will see why we prefer to supply you with Rathbone Broadcast Lithium Ion 95WH Gold Mount Style batteries instead. Currently Your better choice is to Upgrade to Rathbone 95Wh Broadcast Lithium Ion Gold Mount Batteries.
  • If you have any questions regarding current lead time please feel free to give us a call at 865-484-1783, or email sales@rathboneenergy.com. These two links take you away and to our primary web site: Contact Us Hours & Holiday Schedule, Winter Shortened Hours to Conserve Energy and Save $$.

  • 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 them from their manufacturing lines. Panasonic did so in 2005. Rathbone Energy is an Environmentally Conscious Company, and has phased out assembly of nickel cadmium battery cells and battery rebuilding as well and expects to be finished by 2010.

  • In other words, the only battery assembler that actively promotes and is capable of professionally rebuilding broadcast batteries, Rathbone Energy, no longer support Anton Bauer Nickel Cadmium Product. So keep this in consideration when planning your battery budget money. Once the Anton Bauer battery fails, the client will no longer get their extended money’s worth from the Anton Bauer battery through their prior ability to send those batteries to Rathbone for rebuilding. I am saddened that this will hurt Anton Bauer But, Nickel Cadmium has been going out for some time. Also, several countries either already ban or soon will ban new nickel cadmium products into their respective countries. However, the Rathbone Lithium Ion Broadcast Battery line is the excellent upgrade.

  • For 20 years we have supplied only the very best nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride, and now lithium ion battery cells for new assembly and for rebuilding. Today we have to compromise on nickel cadmium battery cells and offer the "Best Available" battery cell in nickel cadmium. Again,
  • Yes Chinese battery cells are really cheap, like .70 per cell x 12 cells.  No matter what propaganda you read by someone pretending to be a client of a fly by who says they have bought recelled Proformers from their fly by buddy using a Chinese battery cell, you should consider who actually wrote the praise and remember, the Chinese cells work for a little while and always with a consistently degrading performance and around 200 degrading discharge cycles.  The only person who would not notice the difference is an amateur photographer or amateur battery insert installer.  We are a real battery assembler, we know.
